My Favorite Amazon Deal of the Day: 13-Inch Apple MacBook Air M3
The new range of M3 MacBook Air laptops were released in March this year and, surprisingly, they have been discounted since their release. However, as is typical for Apple products, the discounts weren’t revolutionary, with most being $50 here or $100 there. However, the latest discount on the base M3 MacBook Air is the biggest yet. You can get the 13-inch MacBook Air with 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD for $949 (originally $1,099) after a $149 discount at Amazon. (You need to click on the $49.01 discount on the page.) According to price check tools, this is the lowest price for this MacBook since its release.
The MacBook Pro line is also up to $300 off if you’re looking for the best Apple laptop money can buy right now. But if you’re just looking for something for everyday work, school, or personal use, the MacBook Air is a great choice that will save you a lot of money. All MacBook Airs, including the M2 and M1 chips, are also heavily discounted right now, but if you can afford the extra $100 to upgrade from the M2 to the M3, you’ll get much better value for the money.
According to Lifehacker tech writer Khamosh Pathak, M3 chips have read speeds that are nearly twice as fast as M2 chips and write speeds that are 33% faster . If you’re not sure whether to upgrade from the M2, or are undecided on which one to choose, you can read our information on choosing between the M2 and M3 . One of the best benefits of purchasing an M3 is the dual-monitor support that the M3 MacBook Air now has , a feature that was previously only found in the MacBook Pro line. The current discount is available on all four colors of MacBook Air.
