The new M3 MacBook Air laptop series was launched in March this year, and surprisingly, there have been discounts since launch. As is typical with Apple products, though, the discounts aren't revolutionary: Most are $50 here, $100 there. However, the latest discount on the base M3 MacBook Air is the biggest yet. After a $149 discount on Amazon, you can get a 13-inch MacBook Air with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of SSD storage for $949 (originally $1,099). (You'll have to click on the page for the $49.01 discount.) According to Price Checker , this is the lowest price this MacBook has gone for since launch.

If you're looking for the best Apple laptops money can buy right now, the MacBook Pro range is also discounted by up to $300 . But if you're just looking for something to get through your daily work, school, or personal use, the MacBook Air is a great choice that can save you a lot of money. All MacBook Airs, including the M2 and M1 chips, are also heavily discounted right now, but if you can pay the extra $100 to upgrade from the M2 to the M3, you'll get your money's worth .
According to Lifehacker technology writer Khamosh Pathak, the M3 chip is almost twice as fast as the M2 in reading and 33% faster in writing. If you're not sure whether it's worth upgrading from the M2, or haven't yet decided which one to buy, you can read our details on choosing between the M2 and M3. One of the biggest advantages of buying an M3 is that the M3 MacBook Air now has dual-monitor support, a feature that used to only come from the MacBook Pro line. The current discount applies to all four colors of MacBook Air.
