Amazon now clearing out 24GB 15-inch M3 MacBook Airs at a $1,349 low ($550 off the original price)

$350+ off/$1,349

The M4 MacBook Air has now arrived and we are tracking some straight up $50 price drops across just about every configuration already. But if you can make the still quite capable M3 model work for you, we just spotted a particularly notable deal on an upgraded 15-inch model. Amazon is now offering the 24GB 15-inch MacBook Air with the 512GB SSD in all four colorways down at $1,349 shipped – that’s as much as $550 off the original price of this configuration. Details below.

The configuration is question here saw an official price drop of sorts last fall when Apple shuffled its RAM options up a notch – the 8GB model is gone in favor of a 16GB configuration without raising the price. This effectively dropped the official MSRP of every model down $200. 

This machine carried an $1,899 list price before last October before the 24GB 15-inch Air dropped to $1,699 – today’s deal, which is a new Amazon all-time low, is $550 under the original price and $350 under the price it landed at after the RAM bump. 

But how does this stack up to the new M4 MacBook Air? They did receive a nice price drop on top of the same RAM upgrade after all. 

A 15-inch M4 MacBook Air with the same specs as the model featured above fetches a $1,599 list price at Apple and is now on sale at Amazon for $1,549, so you’re still saving $250 with the M3 model here. 

But just keep in mind, a 24GB 13-inch M4 model carries a list price at $1,399 and you can score one right now at the same $1,349 shipped as the 15-incher detailed above. 

So a better a question might be, how much do you value the 15-inch display? You can score the brand new 13-inch with the same RAM and SSD capacity at the same price right now.
