Apple Strikes Again, The MacBook Air 2025 Reaches a New Record-Low Price Once More
This is the lowest price ever for the new MacBook Air M4 on Amazon. Since its release in March this year, the MacBook Air M4 256GB has been diligently shaving dollars from its price every week on Amazon. What started at a $999 launch price soon fell to around $950, then $900, and even as low as $850 at certain point. And now, Amazon is selling this 256GB version in all color choices for a new all-time-low price of just $829 (17% off). And if that weren't enough, Amazon has also just dropped yet another all-time low price for the Mac Mini M4 from the same generation, so it's the perfect time to consider giving your desktop setup an upgrade as well. See at Amazon Best Value for Money Laptop At $829, the MacBook Air M4 is a valuable bargain. The cost is especially irresistible given the model's rugged qualities: a 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display, 16GB combined memory, and the lightning-fast Apple M4 chip. This is the kind of laptop that can easily toggle between intensive work tasks and creative work but still maintain a featherlight design that's so easy to carry anywhere. The M4 chip is optimized for performance and efficiency and allows you to multitask among demanding apps with lag-free performance. Apple Intelligence, Apple's new personal intelligence system, comes directly integrated into the device. This system is a productivity game-changer with intelligent suggestions and automation without sacrificing privacy. With battery life of up to 18 hours, MacBook Air M4 matches the pace of your most hectic days. You will also love the 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display (one billion-color display!) which delivers vivid images that make photos come alive with deep contrast and detailed clarity. Text is very crisp and reduces eye fatigue during long reading or typing. The audio and video capabilities of the laptop are equally stunning: a 12MP Center Stage camera enables you to show yourself at your best in video calls. The laptop has also two Thunderbolt 4 ports, a MagSafe port for charging, a headphone jack, Wi-Fi 6E, and Bluetooth 5.3 and gives users a wide array of port options to connect peripherals, external monitors or high-speed networks. It supports up to two external monitors which makes the Apple laptop suitable for work settings or entertainment settings. Backed by macOS, the MacBook Air M4 supports a wide range of apps including Microsoft 365 Copilot, Adobe Creative Cloud (like Photoshop, and more), and Google Workspace which all run smoothly and efficiently. For customers who already own an iPhone or other Apple devices, the MacBook Air M4 integrates easily and enables such features as iPhone Mirroring, universal clipboard, iMessage, and FaceTime. With Amazon's fresh price slash to $828 for the 256GB model, buying into this ultraportable monster is the perfect time. See at Amazon

Amazon Prime Day 2025 Is Coming—Our Editors Found The Best Early Deals
Earlier this week, Amazon shared that Prime Day 2025 will be a four-day-long event, spanning Tuesday, July 8 through Friday, July 11. That means you'll have double the time to shop the retail giant's millions of deals this year. 'Prime Day 2025 is looking promising. I anticipate that we'll see a lot of first-time deals and all-time lows from a lot of brands as they try to encourage shopping in the face of economic uncertainty,' says supervising deals and coupons editor Kara Cuzzone. Amazon Prime Day will officially arrive next month, but there are plenty of early deals worth ... More shopping right now—like this MacBook Air which is $4 away from its lowest price ever. But you don't have to wait until next month to start shopping impressive discounts. There are already plenty of early Prime Day deals live, and some products are already at their lowest prices ever. Here, our deals editors have rounded up the best early deals you can shop right now and outlined everything you need to know about next month's sale. You don't have to wait for Prime Day to find great deals on Amazon's site. The e-tailer is known for offering some of the best prices and widest variety of products online all year long. We did price history research to uncover the best early deals you can shop today. Amazon A portable charger is a must for frequent travelers and commuters. I brought this Anker model on a extended trip with friends recently, and it was the most used item among all of us. You can attach your phone magnetically and prop it up with the kickstand for hands-free use, or attach a USB-C charging cable for fast charging. Why It's A Good Deal: This is only $3 shy of the best price we've seen for this charger, and the lowest it's dropped since March. Amazon Our favorite Apple wireless earbuds, the Apple AirPods Pro 2 offer up to 30 hours of battery life, spacial audio, great sound and a secure fit. They also have a new Conversation Awareness feature that automatically adjust the sound when it detects you're speaking. Why It's A Good Deal: This matches the second best price we've seen for these earbuds, which haven't dropped any lower since December. Amazon With three speed and temperature settings, this Wavytalk tool lets you dry your strands efficiently without creating excess damage. Plus, the compact design makes it easy to travel with. Why It's A Good Deal: At $62.59, this is just $1 more than the hair tool's lowest price ever. Amazon If you're planning to spend a lot of time outdoors this summer, consider investing in a neck fan. They're a hands-free way to stay comfortable in the heat, whether you're lounging by the pool or headed to a music festival. Right now, this one's on sale for under $30. Why It's A Good Deal: This is a match for the fan's lowest price since January. Amazon Most beach bags end up filled with sand and stained with sunscreen by the end of the season. But this rubber design from Simple Modern is waterproof, so you can easily wipe it clean or rinse it out to keep it looking good as new. It also has a water-resistant pocket that you can use to store your phone or cash. Why It's A Good Deal: This is the bag's lowest recorded price on Amazon. Amazon If you're looking for a TV that'll let you catch every second of your favorite sports games in high res, this is a great option. It has an AI Sports Mode that sharpens and boosts the quality of whatever you're watching—including fast-moving action. It also has a gaming mode that allows for lag-free play. Why It's A Good Deal: This is the TV's lowest price ever. Amazon Typically you have to choose between getting the latest tech, or getting a good deal. But in this case, you'll get the best of both worlds: a 2025 MacBook Air for under $1,000. Why It's A Good Deal: This discount is just $4 away from the laptop's lowest price ever: $825.38. Amazon The Apple Watch Series 10 improves on its predecessors: It's thinner and includes an impressive suite of health and fitness features—not to mention seamless connectivity with your existing Apple eco-system. If you're an Apple user looking for a smartwatch or simply looking to upgrade from an older model, this is a good deal. Why It's A Good Deal: This discount matches the best price we've seen for the latest model. Amazon If you live in a smaller space with hard floors, check out this Dyson stick vacuum. The V8 Plus is lightweight, maneuverable and comes with several attachments to tackle a variety of cleaning needs, like stairs and upholstery. Why It's A Good Deal: This discount matches the second lowest price we've seen on this model in 2025. Amazon It's grilling season. If you're looking for a new grill, this is a solid deal on a cult-favorite model. The Traeger pellet grill can grill, smoke, bake and more all in one. This compact design won't take up a ton of space in your yard, but it can still hold up to 24 burgers or four whole chickens. Why It's A Good Deal: This is the best price we've seen for this grill since 2024. Amazon Fish oil is good for your pet's coat and joints. It's a great supplement to add to their meal at any age, and it doesn't get much easier than a liquid meal topper. Reviewers say they noticed improved softness of their pets' coats and that even picky pups seemed to enjoy the taste. Why It's A Good Deal: This matches the best price we've seen for this Native Pet oil in 2025. Amazon This reversible comforter is a great option for warm sleepers. It's made of a high-performance fabric that's cool to the touch and and moisture wicking. The entire blanket is also machine washable and dryer safe for easy maintenance. Why It's A Good Deal: This is one of the best prices we've seen for this cooling blanket since April. Amazon Prime Day is a summer sale that was first introduced in 2015. At its start, Prime Day was a single-day event meant to celebrate the company's 20th anniversary. Over the years, it's expanded into a 48-hour event, but this year it's getting another extension: Amazon Prime Day 2025 will be four days long. Amazon Prime Day 2025 will start at 12:01 p.m. PDT on July 8 and run through 11:59 p.m. PDT on July 11. That said, there are already some early deals worth browsing if you want to get a head start on shopping. Technically, there's only one Prime Day each year. However, for the past three years, Amazon has run a similar savings event in October: Prime Big Deal Days. In recent years, it has also started running annual sales that are open to the general public (not just Prime members) including the Big Spring Sale, Amazon Pet Day and the Summer Beauty Event. Time will tell if Amazon will continue to add to its annual sale schedule. No, Amazon Prime Day isn't a sitewide sale. That said, you can still find hundreds of thousands of discounts across nearly all product categories from brands like Sony, EltaMD and, of course, Amazon itself. Just keep in mind that you have to be a Prime member to take advantage of the deals. The answer to this question largely depends on what you're shopping for. If you're in the market for Amazon devices, tech and small appliances, you'll likely find some great deals over Prime Day. The same goes for beauty and personal care essentials—Amazon has really stepped up its game in these categories over recent years. That said, there will inevitably be plenty of lackluster offers as well. We always recommend checking the price history of an item by using tools like CamelCamelCamel or checking other sites for price comparison before adding it to your cart. Our editors research the price history of every item we feature in our content, so shopping a Forbes Vetted Prime Day deals lists is another way to ensure you're getting a good deal. You can sign up for an Amazon Prime membership at any time. The annual membership costs $139 (after a 30-day free trial). A membership gets you access to the sale as well as a slew of Prime member perks, like access to special offers, free shipping (including same-, one- and two-day shipping options depending on the product and your zip code), Grubhub+, Prime Video services and more. Some users may also qualify for discounted memberships, including students and eligible government assistance recipients. The Forbes Vetted deals team has over a decade of combined experience covering major sale events and holidays, including Amazon Prime Day. The author of this article, Forbes Vetted's assistant deals editor Jordan Thomas, has over five years of experience covering consumer shopping and sales. She has been writing for Forbes Vetted for the past three years, producing daily deals content and tracking prices and product trends all year long. This story was edited by supervising deals and coupons editor Kara Cuzzone. She has over seven years of experience researching and reporting on deals, and has been leading the Forbes Vetted for over four years.

Amazon July Prime Day 2025 date Amazon has announced that this year's Prime Day will occur from July 8 to 11. Usually the sale only lasts two days, so this is a big difference from previous years. However, the amount you save could be impacted due to tariffs. Regardless, we expect to see tons of price cuts on the latest tech, smart home upgrades, everyday basics and more. Plus, there are already deals you can start adding to your cart now. Previous Amazon Prime Day dates Since Amazon launched its first Prime Day sale back in 2015, the company has scheduled the event for around the same time of year. Outside of a couple of recent years, Amazon has kicked off the main sale event somewhere within the middle two weeks of July, and 2025 is no exception. Here are the previous Amazon Prime Day dates: Prime Day 2015: July 15 Prime Day 2016: July 12 Prime Day 2017: July 11 to 12 Prime Day 2018: July 16 to 17 Prime Day 2019: July 15 to 16 Prime Day 2020: Oct. 13 to 14 Prime Day 2021: June 21 to 22 Prime Day 2022: July 12 to 13 Prime Early Access Sale 2022: Oct. 11 to 12 Prime Day 2023: July 11 to 12 Prime Big Deal Days 2023: Oct. 10 to 11 Prime Day 2024: July 16 to 17 Prime Big Deal Days 2024: Oct. 8 to 9 Big Spring Sale 2025: March 20 to 25 Prime Day 2025: July 8 to 11 Should you shop Fourth of July Sales or Prime Day? There's no doubt that there will be tons of deals during both events. However it's not about when to shop, but what to shop for. If you're looking for outdoor things like a patio set or power tools, July 4 sales will bring you more savings. But if you're looking for electronics or smart home gadgets, you'll have better luck during Prime Day. And if you don't have anything specific in mind, enjoy shopping all these deals for just about half the month of July. Will tariffs impact this year's Prime Day deals? Tariffs are top of mind for most Americans, and it could impact this year's Prime Day event. Prices on items like electronics could very well increase, with companies like Apple trying to avoid so by moving manufacturing operations elsewhere. The tariffs are currently paused but only until July, right when Prime Day begins. What is Prime Day? Amazon began the annual Prime Day tradition back in 2015. And ever since, bargain hunters have eagerly awaited its return every summer. The Prime Day sale event has historically taken place in July, and this year is no exception. Amazon often has other sales throughout the year, including a second Prime Day-like sale in October and the Big Spring Sale, which took place earlier this year. We know Prime Day is still a few weeks away, but we're covering all the essentials well ahead of time, including everything from signing up for Amazon Prime and returning Prime Day purchases to getting Prime Day deals for free and utilizing extra Prime perks.
