Apple’s latest MacBook Air powered by the new M4 chip has quietly become much more affordable in India, thanks to new discounts that are now available on the Vijay Sales website. This deal is quite interesting as Apple’s latest devices rarely see a meaningful price drop immediately after launch. For buyers who were held back by pricing, this offer changes the equation and puts the M4-powered Air in the spotlight as one of the strongest premium laptops this season. MacBooks are discounted by up to Rs 20,000 on the platform, making it attractive to many users.

MacBook Air M4 available with Rs 18,000 discount, here’s how the deal works

The MacBook Air M4 variant with 16GB RAM and 256GB SSD started at Rs 99,900. At Vijay Sales, the same configuration is now listed at Rs 91,900, marking a direct price cut of Rs 8,000. Additionally, customers using eligible ICICI Bank, SBI Bank or IDFC First Bank credit cards can avail up to Rs 10,000 instant discount. When both the benefits are combined, the effective price comes to around Rs 81,900, i.e. a total saving of around Rs 18,000.

But, is it still worth buying?

This price is currently one of the lowest prices seen for the MacBook Air M4 (Review) in India. However, the offer is limited to select color options and stock availability, with the Sky Blue finish being one of the majorly discounted variants. Like most Apple deals, there’s no clarity on how long this offer will remain active, especially with the holiday shopping period going on right now.

From a purchasing standpoint, the MacBook Air M4 makes a strong case, especially for users upgrading from an older Intel-based MacBook or even the original M1 Air. Apple’s M4 chip delivers a noticeable boost in everyday performance, smoother multitasking, and better thermal efficiency, while also maintaining the Air’s fanless and silent design. Support for dual external displays also removes a long-standing limitation of earlier Air models, making it more practical for professional workflows.

The laptop continues with Apple’s familiar slim and lightweight design, which remains a major attraction in this segment. Battery life also remains solid, with Apple claiming up to 18 hours of usage on a single charge, making it suitable for working all day without constantly reaching for the charger. The upgraded 12-megapixel front camera adds features like Center Stage and Desk View, which are useful additions for video calls and remote work.

That said, users already using a MacBook Air M3 may not find the move to the M4 dramatic enough for everyday tasks. For light to moderate use, the real-world difference is likely to feel incremental rather than transformational. But at this new effective price point, it becomes much easier to recommend the MacBook Air M4, even against premium Windows laptops.

With its price dropping to around Rs 82,000 after the discount, Apple’s latest MacBook Air is now in a more competitive position. For anyone planning to buy a MacBook over the festive or holiday season, this deal offers a rare chance to purchase Apple’s latest silicon at a really low price.
