TL;DR: The gold and sIlver versions of the newest MacBook retail for $1,299.99 in the Apple Store, but Amazon has them on sale for just $999.99 apiece — saving you $300.


Has anyone ever looked at their belongings and said to themselves, “Self, I wish more of my worldly possessions were covered in space gray aluminum”? Maybe. But probably not. 

If Apple’s signature finish just doesn’t do it for you anymore, you’ll love the deal we just found on Amazon: You can get the newest 12-inch MacBook on sale for less than $1,000 exclusively in its silver and gold finishes (which is more of a rosy gold, but whatever). When everything is said and done, you’ll have $300 more in your bank account than had you bought your new laptop directly from the Apple Store.

These MacBooks sport the super small seven-generation 1.2GHz dual-core Intel Core m3 processor, which means they’re both slim, fanless (read: quiet), and extremely lightweight — lighter than even a MacBook Air, in fact. But that’s not to say they skimp on any bells and/or whistles: Their Retina display with edge-to-edge glass has a vivid 2304 x 1440 resolution, and their built-in batteries offer up to 10 hours of use on a single charge.

Plus, each one comes with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of SSD storage — more than enough room for all of your apps and files.

The new 12-inch MacBooks weigh a mere 2 pounds and measure just 13.1mm thick.

A little bit of fine print: The gold MacBook is technically listed as “Out of Stock” until Sunday, June 23, but you can still order it now; it may just take a while to arrive.

Normally $1,299.99, you can get the 12-inch MacBook in gold or silver for just $999.99 on Amazon — a 23% savings.
