Flipkart’s Big Billion Days is in full swing and there are thousands of deals for shoppers during the sale, which started today and will continue until September 30. However, there is a bit of disappointment among shoppers who were hoping to get their hands on the new M1 MacBook Air during this year’s Big Billion Days sale.
Before selling, we reported that the MacBook Air is based on the Apple M1 will go on sale at a price below Rs 70,000 for the 16GB RAM variant. While people were waiting for Flipkart to announce the prices, they faced disappointment as there are no such offers on MacBook Air with Apple M1 chip.
