We recently detailed the return of discounted stock at Amazon on the current-generation M3 MacBook Air lineup starting from $899. While much of those deals are still live, we wanted to touch down this morning after seeing the 15-inch model with 16GB of RAM and the upgraded 512GB storage fell down to $1,279 shipped. It has now dropped an additional $20 compared to our previous mention to slightly undercut the $200 price drops ($400 off the original price before the RAM upgrade) across the rest of the lineup right now. Details below.
We have detailed this previously more than a few times, but just as a quick reminder, you’re looking at $220 off the current $1,499 list price on this configuration, but $420 off the price this exact same machine sold for back in October before Apple issued the official RAM upgrade without raising the price.
We have seen some limited offers on this model and a few others for a slightly less, over the holidays and Black Friday last year, but with stock starting to get a little bit dicey on the M3 MacBook Air at Apple Stores and elsewhere, and the solid price drop we are looking at here today, it is worth a mention for folks not looking to spend the full list price on the new M4 Airs we are expecting this year.
