For context for those not in the education space, $899 for the base M4 MacBook Air is the same price that students/teachers pay. In my casual observations over the years, while an Apple product is relatively new it is basically never discounted below education price. So this is likely the lowest you will see the base M4 MacBook Air for a long while.
