Have you been eyeing the MacBook Air for a while but haven’t had to chance to nab one yet? Maybe it’s a bit out of your price range. If that’s the case, you might want to check out Best Buy’s website today and tomorrow, January 25 and 26. Best Buy is offering the MacBook Air at $200 less than its usual price and will ship it to your doorstep for free. We rarely see any Apple products discounted, so this is one sale that’s not to be missed if you’ve been on the MacBook Air fence.

You can choose from the 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB units in 11- or 13-inch form factors, with prices starting at $799. Apple sells its MacBook Airs for at least $999 brand new and roughly $850 refurbished. The MacBook Air is Apple’s extremely thin and lightweight, and highly portable laptop that is equipped with a solid-state drive and a high-resolution display. It doesn’t have a ton of ports or an optical drive, but if you’re always on the go and would rather have a laptop rather than a tablet, it might suit your needs. 

It’s not just the MacBook Air that you can get at a discount during Best Buy’s Winter Doorbuster sale, though. You can also get Otterbox cases at 30 percent off, $70 off of a 15.6-inch Samsung laptop, and a $20 gift card free with a 16GB iPod nano, along with special prices for a bunch of TVs, the Nikon Coolpix S9050 digital camera, and the Motorola Droid Razr M

But according to the latest reports, the most serious challenger to the MacBook's reign won't come from Windows -- it'll come from within Apple in the form of some very advanced new iPads.
