Apple 24GB 15-inch M3 MacBook Air back to $1,349 low ($550 off the orig. price, $250 under M4)

Orig. $1,899/$1,349

Amazon is once giving folks another shot to score a sizable price drop on Apple’s 15-inch M3 MacBook Air with the 24GB RAM upgrade down at $1,349 shipped. Regularly $1,699 and originally $1,899 before Apple upped its RAM game, today’s deal is $350 off and $550 under the original list price. This is matching our previous mention and the lowest price we have seen this configuration sell for at Amazon. 

Just as a quick reminder or for those unaware, this machine originally sold for $1,899 back when it was the latest and greatest 24GB 15-inch MacBook Air in September last year. Apple then decided it would do away with the 8GB RAM configurations across its Mac lineup without raising the price. That effectively knocked $200 off the official list prices, landing this 24GB 15-incher down at $1,699. Fast forward to today, and you can knock an additional $350 off that to deliver a price at $550 below the price this machine sold for at Apple not 7 months ago.

But that doesn’t really matter nearly as much as how it compares to the price on the new M4 model.

This is clearly not the new M4 MacBook Air, and those machines did see some official price drops from Apple at launch, but they are still more pricey than the clearance pricing we are tracking today on the perfectly capable M3 machine. A 15-inch 24GB M4 MacBook Air carries a $1,599 list price and happens to be on sale right now for $1,449 shipped. This is indeed the best price we have ever tracked, but it is still $100 more than the M3 model we are featuring here today. 

We certainly wouldn’t blame you for going with the brand new model, but considering the M3 is really not even that old, this deal should at least by on your radar.
