But there&#8217;s some good news for bargain hunters: Apple is keeping its MacBook Air M1, which will continue to cost $ 999.

(Check out our guide to the best Apple deals for discounts on all Apple tech). <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Amazon predictions<\/strong><span class=\"sr-only\">  (opens in new tab)<\/span><strong>:<\/strong> The biggest online retailer on the planet is usually the first to offer dollar-off discounts on new Apple devices.  Expect to see from $ 50 to $ 100 off the base MacBook Air M2 configuration shortly after preorders begin.  Likewise, the MacBook Air 2020 could drop as low as $ 749 or $ 799.  <\/li>\n<li><strong>Apple Store<\/strong><span class=\"sr-only\">  (opens in new tab)<\/span>: For trade-in deals, you&#8217;ll want to head to the Apple Store.  Apple tends to offer generous trade-in credits when you swipe your old Apple device for a new one.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Best Buy predictions<\/strong><span class=\"sr-only\">  (opens in new tab)<\/span>: The retailer will likely bundle a host of free Apple services with the purchase of a new MacBook Air M2.
