Every once in a while, you find a deal that you just can’t pass up. That describes this deal on an Apple M1 MacBook Air. Not only do you get a discount of $49, but there’s also a $100 discount being applied at checkout. While it says to check the details, if you put it in your cart, you’ll find it appears with the $149 discount. This is truly too good to pass up.

The M1 Mac, just released in late 2020, features an all-day battery life – that is, all day if you’re up for 18 hours. It’s a powerful laptop that allows you to edit like a pro and fly through action games. It’s 3.5 times faster than the previous generation of MacBook Air, thanks to the Apple M1 chip and 8-core CPU.

This MacBook Air is speedy, too, with 8GB of unified memory. This allows you to do memory-killing tasks like multitab browsing and opening a large graphics-intensive file. It will display that file beautifully, too, on the 13.3″ Retina display with sharp, clear, vibrant colors.

The built-in apps allow you to work, play, and create right out of the box. All your existing apps will work on the M1 Mac as well, including Adobe Creative Cloud, Microsoft 365, and Google Drive. The technology also lets you open and use your favorite iPhone and iPad apps. Use your iPad as another display, too, while answering your texts and phone calls on the laptop.

Save $149.01 on this 256GB M1 Mac and pay just $849.99. Get the same discount on the 512GB model.

French scientist Michel Siffre spent two months alone in a cave with no clock, no calendar, and no sunlight — and when his team finally told him the experiment was over, he thought he still had nearly a month left underground
When Cingular chief Stan Sigman backed the original iPhone before its 2007 unveiling, he accepted terms American carriers usually refused: no logo on the device, no control over its software, no preloaded apps, and a share of monthly subscriber revenue flowing back to Apple, after signing on without seeing a prototype
In 2016, archaeologists dated two rings of snapped stalagmites in France’s Bruniquel Cave to 176,500 years ago, evidence that Neanderthals had walked 336 metres into darkness with fire and built architecture deep underground long before modern humans reached Europe
Otto von Bismarck was 74 when Germany adopted the world’s first national old-age social insurance program in 1889, setting the pension age at 70 after years of fighting socialists with bans, laws, and a promise few workers would live long enough to use
When cosmonaut Valeri Polyakov stepped out of his Soyuz capsule in March 1995 after 437 consecutive days aboard Mir, doctors recorded him at several centimetres above his pre-flight height, and his spine had become so unaccustomed to gravity that the recovery team carried him to a chair rather than risk the compression of letting him walk.

When Edme Mariotte stared at marks on a wall in the 1660s, one mark vanished inside a six-degree hole where the optic nerve leaves the eye and the brain has been filling in wallpaper, sky, and faces ever since
When seismic waves from the Chicxulub impact reached what is now North Dakota roughly ten minutes after the asteroid struck, they appear to have triggered a ten-metre standing wave in an inland river that flung fish onto the bank and buried them under glass beads still falling from the sky.
