The year may be ending, but deals on your favourite gadgets seem to be only getting started.

How the deal works
Reliance Digital is selling the MacBook Air M1 at a base price of ₹51,990, but the value gets even better with ongoing bank promotions. Axis Bank, IDFC First Bank, and HSBC cards are offering additional discounts that pull the effective price closer to ₹50,000, which is one of the lowest tags this model has ever carried in India.
Considering that Apple has officially discontinued the M1 Air and newer models like the MacBook Air M4 start at around ₹91,900, this makes the older Air the most affordable entry point to macOS today. For buyers who want a premium laptop experience without touching the five-figure ceiling of newer MacBooks, the timing of this deal is almost perfect.
Why the MacBook M1 Air is worth buying in 2025
Despite being four years old, the MacBook Air M1 still offers the kind of performance and refinement that many laptops in the same price range struggle to match. It comes with Apple’s 8 core M1 chip, a 13.3 inch Retina display with 2560×1600 resolution, 8 GB unified memory, and up to 512 GB SSD storage depending on the variant. The fanless design keeps it whisper quiet, while its 18 hour battery life remains one of the best in any thin and light laptop. At 1.29 kg, the aluminium build is light enough for daily travel, and features like Touch ID, Wi Fi 6, stereo speakers, and macOS optimisations still deliver a smooth, reliable experience.
If your daily routine revolves around browsing, writing, OTT streaming, productivity apps, or light editing, the M1 Air handles all of it effortlessly. Apple may have newer models with brighter displays, better webcams, and faster chips, but none of them come anywhere near this price bracket. Which is exactly why this ₹51,990 deal stands out so strongly.
