Update: Has now price matched Best Buy and undercut it on some models:
- 13-inch MacBook Air M3 8GB/256GB $849 (Reg. $1,099)
- 15-inch MacBook Air M3 8GB/256GB $1,044 (Reg. $1,299)
- 15-inch MacBook Air M3 8GB/512GB $1,234 (Reg. $1,499)
- 15-inch MacBook Air M3 16GB/512GB $1,424 (Reg. $1,699)
While Amazon is almost certainly going to price match this deal in the next hour when the official Prime Big Deal Days event kicks off, Best Buy has beaten it to the punch with Apple’s latest 13-inch M3 MacBook Air back down at the best prices ever. You’ll find the 256GB with 8GB of RAM at $849 shipped and the 16GB model with 512GB of RAM at $1,249 shipped. Both of which are now $250 off, $50 below Amazon (at least for now), and matching the lowest prices we have tracked.
Scoring an M3 MacBook Air at $200 is sweet, but at $250 off you’re looking at a price on par with the lowest we have ever tracked on these configurations. While the 16GB model seems to really be what most folks are after, casual users can save a ton going with the 8GB config while Best Buy’s fall Prime Day pricing is in full effect.
Again we are very much expecting Amazon to price match these deals very soon, if not undercut them completely, but there’s no way to know for sure.
Either way, you’re looking at a seriously notable price tag on Apple’s latest and most affordable current-generation laptops that aren’t expected to get refreshed until next year.
The latest MacBook Air comes powered by Apple’s M3 silicon with an Apple Intelligence-ready build, a 13.6-inch Liquid Retina Display, 8GB of RAM, the backlit keyboard, Touch ID, and up to 18 hours of battery life. That’s on top of the 1080p FaceTime HD camera, three mics, and four speakers with Spatial Audio, two Thunderbolt ports, a headphone jack, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, and a MagSafe charging port.
And remember, the previous Apple M2 MacBook Air is now down at the $749 Amazon low.
Apple M3 MacBook Air features:
The M3 chip brings even greater capabilities to the superportable 13-inch MacBook Air. With up to 18 hours of battery life, you can take it anywhere and blaze through work and play. The blazing-fast MacBook Air with the M3 chip is a superportable laptop that sails through work and play.
