Apple’s 16GB and 24GB M3 MacBook Air up to $400 off the original prices, still shipping in time for the holidays

$200 off/From $899

Update: You will want to opt for the Best Buy deals listed at the bottom of this post to ensure delivery in-time for December 24.

Today we are going to be looking at some notable price drops on Apple’s latest M3 MacBook Air, it’s most affordable current-generation laptop you can get under the tree this year. While Amazon’s shipping times on select configurations are starting to slip beyond the big day this year, there are still some that land in time and Best Buy is now offering much of the same price drops with delivery listed well before December 24 on most models. 

While we did see many of these options go for between $50 and $75 less over the Black Friday deal season this year, there are plenty of straight up $200 price drops now live across the lineup so you can still save a ton and get one under the tree in time. But you will want to act fast if you need it in time for your holiday celebrations. 

It is also worth remembering that we are talking about $200 in savings off the new list prices here. These machines are now $400 under the price you would have paid at Apple before the lineup saw the 16GB RAM upgrade.

Amazon has the elevated 13-inch and 15-inch with 24GB of RAM and 512GB SSDs down at $1,299 and $1,499, respectively. Both models are now $200 off the going rate and a whole more than that below the original prices they fetched before Apple upgraded the 8GB RAM models to 16GB back in October. 

That said you’ll find a series of configurations, including the most affordable of the 16GB variants ready and waiting over at Best Buy with delivery listed at well ahead of December 24. Now, you will want to double check just in case shipping times have slipped in your location by the time you get to checkout, but it appears as though just about all of the configurations are still ready to go at the time of writing.
