These MacBook Airs Are $150 Off Ahead of Prime Day
The MacBook Air is always a safe bet for a computer that “just works,” especially now that Apple is using its own chips and has bumped the base RAM to 16GB. Not everyone needs all the power of a MacBook Pro, and these computers are a solid way to get Apple’s user-friendly operating system without breaking the bank… or, if you couldn’t tell from the name, your back.
Just before Prime Day, you can already get Apple’s newest MacBook Airs at a pretty big discount , starting at $849 at the time of writing, or $150 off. That gets you the 13-inch model with the new M4 chip, 16GB of memory, 256GB of storage, and a choice of four color options. For $1,049, also $150 off, you can upgrade to the 15-inch screen , though your RAM and storage will remain the same. On the plus side, there are still four more color options to choose from — a rare selection to see in sales like this.
For those looking for a little more performance, both sizes are also seeing sales on models with 512GB of storage and 16GB or 24GB of RAM. The most capable 13-inch MacBook Air will set you back $1,249 now (another $150 discount), while the similarly powerful 15-inch MacBook Air will set you back $1,434.64, a slightly steeper discount than the other $164.36 discounted options.
A few older models, like the 2024 MacBook Air with the M3 chip, can also be found slightly cheaper refurbished right now , though you’ll be sacrificing half of its storage by buying an older model. While past sales have made the M2 and M3 MacBook Airs almost more attractive than their newer counterparts, Apple’s upgrades this year really make buying new the best choice for a long-lasting computer this Prime Day.
