The ultra-slim 2019 MacBook Air is $200 off on Amazon right now

Ultra-slim Windows laptops are quickly becoming the norm, but no Apple fan can forget that the MacBook Air was the first real “ultrabook” of its kind. Apple is nothing if not innovative, and although the MacBook Air is no longer the only game in town, it’s still the go-to if you’re looking for a super-lightweight machine and can’t live without MacOS. And while the newer MacBooks have also slimmed down a bit in recent years, Apple has kept the MacBook Air line updated nicely, and Amazon has the latest model on sale right now for $200 off.

This MacBook Air is the mid-2019 refresh of the third-gen model, which Apple released in 2018 (meaning this MacBook is the newest in the Air family). It sits at 13.3 inches, putting it in a nice size category between smaller 12-inch laptops and full-sized 15.6-inch machines. That 13.3-inch screen is one of Apple’s brilliant Retina displays as well, featuring a 2,560 x 1,600 resolution with more than 4 million pixels. True Tone technology also auto-adjusts the brightness levels to match the color temperature of your current environment which greatly reduces harsh white light to prevent eye fatigue.

Under the hood, this configuration packs a dual-core Intel i5 CPU paired with 8GB of RAM, and for storage, you’ve got a 128GB SSD. If you’re buying a MacBook Air instead of a standard MacBook or MacBook Pro, though, it’s probably not for the hardware — it’s because you want that unrivaled sleekness and feather-light weight. The 2019 Air lives up to its name in this department: It weighs in at just 2.75 pounds and measures 15.6mm thin (or just over 0.6 inches) when closed, so it’s good to go for all-day carry. Its internal battery also delivers up to 12 hours of juice, allowing you to work and play on the move without having to hunt around for an outlet every few hours.

This 2019 MacBook Air normally goes for $1,099, and if you’re an Apple lover, you know that retail prices are typically what you can expect to pay for this stuff outside of seasonal sales. One-off deals do come around sometimes, however, and Amazon has a nice one going right now: A $150 savings is combines with a $50 checkout discount, knocking a total of $200 off the usual price and letting you snag this 13-inch MacBook Air for $900.

Don’t need a MacBook Pro? Save $300 on the 15-inch MacBook Air
The screen of the MacBook Air M2.

For those who are having trouble deciding which of the latest models to buy from MacBook deals, here's an offer from Best Buy that may push you in its direction -- the 15-inch Apple MacBook Air M2 with 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD for $999, following a $300 discount on its original price of $1,299. If you don't need the professional-level capabilities of the MacBook Pro, it's highly recommended that you take advantage of this bargain, but you have to act fast because there's no telling when it will get taken down.

Why you should buy the 15-inch Apple MacBook Air M2
The 14-inch Apple MacBook Pro M3 Max stands on top of our list of the best MacBooks, but if you prefer the lightness and quietness of the MacBook Air and you don't need the extreme power of the MacBook Pro, you're better off with the 15-inch Apple MacBook Air M2. Its design is very similar to its smaller counterpart, the 13-inch Apple MacBook Air M2, with the same flat panels, narrow bezels, and thin profile -- just 0.46 of an inch -- among other elements. However, the larger 15.3-inch Liquid Retina display makes a huge difference, especially if you'll be needing all the screen real estate that you can get for activities like building websites, managing spreadsheets, editing videos, and working on apps with complex menus.

Amazon’s futuristic Astro security robot is 21% off right now
Amazon Astro robot.

If you don't think investing in security camera deals is enough to give you peace of mind, then you may want to consider buying the Amazon Astro. This mobile security robot, originally sold for $2,350, is on sale from Amazon with a $500 discount that lowers its price to $1,850. It's fairly expensive even at 21% off, but if you're willing to pay for it, you'll be getting an all-around solution for the protection of your home or business. You need to act fast for your purchase though, as the bargain may end sooner than you think.

Why you should buy the Amazon Astro mobile security robot
Compared to security cameras that are installed at fixed points, the Amazon Astro can roll through your home or business to cover up to 5,000 square feet with its HD night vision periscope camera. You'll be able to use the Astro app to access the mobile security robot's camera with a live view, control its movements, and communicate with people it bumps into with a two-way talk function. It comes with a 30-day trial of Astro Secure and Ring Protect Pro subscriptions, which will allow you to schedule and customize the Amazon Astro's patrolling routes, and receive alerts when it sees an unknown person or hears sound such as breaking glass. Ring Protect Pro will also get the robot to move to the location of a triggered Ring Alarm, if you have the security system installed.
