That’s the new low for the entry-level version of Apple’s latest MacBook Air, which uses the M3 chip.
Several other configurations are also available. First, there is B&H a model with 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD for $1,399, another $100 off. If you prefer a bigger screen, Amazon sells them too 15 inch version The M3 Air is priced at $1,204. This deal has only been around for the past few days, but it’s still a $95 discount and the best price we’ve seen for this entry-level configuration since new laptops. they were released earlier this month.
If you can stomach an older processor, B&H has it, by the way latest generation MacBook Air On sale for $849 with Apple’s M2 chip. That’s an all-time low and $150 below Apple’s list price. Again, the retailer says the deal will only last until March 28. Finally, configuration 15-inch M2 Air It also drops to $1,499 with 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD.
We gave away both versions of the MacBook Air powered by the M3 90 points in our view. Like the M2 Airs before them, they’re slim, light, and rugged slates with comfortable keyboards and trackpads, sharp displays, 1080p webcams, and enough battery life for a typical workday. Now each has a slightly faster chip. Wi-Fi 6E support and the option of connecting two external monitors (only when the laptop itself is connected). Between the two sizes on sale 15 inch model along with a larger screen, it has a slightly more powerful GPU and more robust speakers. The port selection isn’t great either, but there are two Thunderbolt USB-C ports, a MagSafe charging port and a headphone jack.
As my colleague Daniel Cooper points out, the best thing about the new laptops is theirs Made the M2 versions cheaper. The difference between the M2 and M3 Airs isn’t that noticeable in everyday use, so if you really want to save $150, the older model might be a better deal, especially if you’re upgrading from an older Air with an Intel chip. (Sudden arrivals M1 model probably better to jump to M3.) M3 Air base technically there is faster SSD than its predecessor, so it might be worth it if you often work with large files. However, you should only get these 8GB RAM/256GB SSD configurations if you’re mostly going to stick to less demanding tasks. Go beyond that and they can start to overheat.
It is worth noting that 2020 M1 version notebook is now It costs $699 At Walmart, that’s a great price. Unless you want a competent MacBook for as little as possible, the M2 version is enough of an upgrade to be worth the extra cost for many. We will also highlight a security exploit at the hardware level this was it recently discovered for all M-series Macs, although the risk of falling victim to this flaw is generally low. In any case, if you’re looking to upgrade your MacBook, this seems like a decent time to take advantage.
