We have a fondness for great laptop deals, and Apple’s M3-powered MacBook Air is an excellent example. The 2024 model is currently discounted on Amazon, with savings of up to $300. You can purchase the base model for $899, which is $200 off and near a record-low price. This 13-inch variant comes with 16GB of RAM and 256GB of SSD storage.
You can find the steepest discount on an M3 MacBook Air with 24GB of RAM and double the SSD storage at 512GB. That’s $300 off at $1,199.
Apple
The M3 MacBook Air from Apple is our current pick for the best overall laptop on the market. The system is currently on sale for up to $300 off, which is a solid deal.
The M3 MacBook Air is our pick for the best MacBook and our top recommendation for the best laptop overall. (I personally own one and am very satisfied with it.)
We gave the system a score of 90 in our review, praising it for its fast performance, sleek design (including a great trackpad and keyboard), and excellent display. The M3 MacBook Air also supports Apple Intelligence features and has a great balance of performance and portability.
While this is an attractive deal, there’s one important factor to consider. Apple just announced the M4 MacBook Air. We haven’t reviewed the latest system yet, so we can’t compare it to last year’s model.
However, it’s worth considering that an upgraded model is right around the corner before you take the plunge on this deal — especially given that Apple has dropped the starting price of the base M4 Air to $999. That’s $100 less than the current regular price of the M3 and $100 more than you can get the laptop for through this deal.
