Although Apple hasn’t specified the reason behind not discontinuing the MacBook Air (2020) just yet, we believe it has a lot to do with the affordability factor. In 2020, Apple attracted several Windows users into the Mac ecosystem by offering the MacBook Air M1 at an aggressive price point.
The MacBook Air (2020) was launched at a price of Rs 92,900, which has now been officially increased by Rs 7,000 to Rs 99,900. But, that shouldn’t worry you. Third-party platforms like Flipkart, Amazon, and others are offering several bank offers that bring down the price of the MacBook Air (2020) to as low as Rs 80,000. The MacBook Air M1 at a price as low as Rs 80,000 makes for a tempting deal for anyone looking to upgrade their old Windows or Mac machine to the MacBook Air (2020).
The Indian price of MacBook Air M2 is Rs 119,900. Whereas for students, MacBook Air will be available for sale for Rs 109,900. The starting price of 13-inch MacBook Pro M2 is Rs 129,900. This device will come for sale for Rs 119,900 for the students.
