According to Bloomberg, the MacBook Air seems to be the latest Mac affected by "RAMageddon," the global memory shortage affecting companies big and small. In short, it might be difficult to buy a MacBook Air from Apple right now. This refurbished M4 MacBook Air is $900 on Amazon right now, for example. This M1 Pro MacBook Pro, while five years old, is still more than capable in 2026, and comes with a 1TB hard drive, for just over $900.
