While the all-time low pricing has come and gone on the entry-level 13-inch M3 MacBook Airs, Apple’s arguably most compelling current-generation laptop, the latest 15-inch Air with 16GB of RAM, is once again $200 off. Amazon is now offering the Midnight and Space Gray options down at $1,499 shipped with 16GB of RAM and the 512GB SSD. This is within $10 of the all-time low and joins ongoing all-time lows on the entry-level M3 15-inch Air from $1,129, down from the usual $1,299, and the 8GB/512GB model at $1,329 shipped from the usual $1,499.
Our dreams came true when Apple first introduced a modern-generation 15-inch MacBook Air, and the latest M3 variant is now seeing solid price drops for folks looking to land a new machine for the summer and beyond. Considering how new the M3 Air is, chances are it will be a while before we see a solid upgrade and it will cost you at least $1,799 (on sale) to land a 16GB MacBook Pro M3 model at this point – the latest Air is a safe bet if you ask me and likely one that makes the most sense for mainstream users that aren’t loading up huge Logic Pro sessions,Final Cut edits, and the like.
You could score the 13-inch at $949 right now, but we are expecting that to drop at least $50 come mid-July for Prime Day (it will officially be taking place on July 16 and 17), but if you’re into the 15-inch machines, it’s hard to imagine them dropping any more than $10 or $20 with straight up discounts at this point. We can’t know for sure, but it does seem that way and especially so on the 16GB models.
Apple’s latest MacBook Air release delivers on the M3 silicone alongside a battery that can run its onboard Liquid Retina display for up to 18 hours at a time, according to Apple (varies by use case). The 1080p FaceTime HD camera sits alongside three mics and a six speaker array with Spatial Audio support (does anyone actually use the speakers on MacBook Air unless they have to?) as well as the beloved MagSafe charging connection, two Thunderbolt ports, and Wi-Fi 6E support.
M3 MacBook Air features:
The blazing-fast MacBook Air with the M3 chip is a superportable laptop that sails through work and play. Lightweight and under half an inch thin, so you can take MacBook Air anywhere you go. Amazing, all-day battery life so you can leave the power adapter at home. The powerful 8-core CPU and 10-core GPU of the Apple M3 chip keep things running smoothly. Everything looks and sounds amazing with a 1080p FaceTime HD camera, three mics, and six speakers with Spatial Audio. All your favorites, from Microsoft 365 to Adobe Creative Cloud, run lightning fast in macOS.
