With the LG OLED C2, Amazon currently offers an excellent OLED TV. But the competition is not sleeping either and is currently winning some deals. Among them Otto, who offers a top notebook for the best price with the MacBook Air.
The Apple MacBook Air with M1 chip currently costs 929 euros at Otto. As part of the technology highlights campaign, the mail order company gives you an additional 10 percent discount. Ultimately, the price drops to 836.10 euros. In addition, there are 2.95 euros shipping costs.
According to various price comparison portals, the previous low price for this MacBook Air was 859 euros. Otto thus undermines this low record by almost 23 euros. The same variant costs at Amazon currently 925 euros*.
Is the Apple MacBook Air M1 worth it compared to the M2?
This MacBook Air is the predecessor of the current version with the new M2 chip. This is currently available from Otto at the best price with an extra 10 percent discount for it 1172.05 euros including shipping costs*.
But is it worth the additional cost of more than 300 euros for the new chip? If you believe various tests – for example, from or – better not. There is further development between the two models, especially in terms of performance, However, the new chip does not make any quantum leaps. In addition, the battery life of the new MacBook suffers from the improved performance.
The M1 chip in the 2020 MacBook Air is therefore still strong enough for all tasks that occur in daily use. In combination with the 256 GB SSD hard drive and the 8 GB RAM, you have enough capacity to show multiple tabs and programs simultaneously on the retina display with WQXGA resolution (2560 x 1600 pixels).
Apple MacBook Air M1: whisper quiet and with a strong battery for a low price
The notebook always remains whisper quiet, because Apple has not installed a fan. But don’t worry, you won’t get warm legs because the MacBook doesn’t get that hot.
Visually, Apple isn’t fooling anyone with the MacBook Air either. The lightweight notebook looks super elegant and, with its screen size of 13.3 inches (33.8 centimeters), it takes up little space in your backpack. Overall, the MacBook Air is ideal for on-the-go use, especially thanks to its extremely good 14-hour battery life.
Apple also gets credit for its precise keyboard, which provides a fresh touch and ensures relaxed working. Otto also gives you an annual subscription to Microsoft 365 worth 69 euros.
Lean fare awaits you with the connections, which is typical of Apple. There are exactly three: two Thunderbolt 3 or USB-C ports and a headset port. But they are enough to connect, for example, the MacBook to a monitor.
