The M3-powered MacBook Air laptops have only been out for a few weeks, and there’s already a pretty significant discount. Amazon sells both versions of the laptop . That brings the price of the 15-inch model down to $1,150 thanks to a $100 rebate and a $50 clippable coupon. If that’s too big a screen for you, the 13-inch model will be $100 off and .
The M3 MacBook Air isn’t a huge change from its predecessor, but the extra horsepower makes it better. . We liked the rugged form factor, ultra-fast performance, and great speakers. The trackpad and keyboard are also top notch.
In our view, and lightweight design. We actually called the M3 MacBook Air “impossibly thin for a laptop” and praised its unibody aluminum body. The M3 has some advantages over the MacBook Pro, including the lack of a Pro version of the chip, but the line between the two models is blurring and blurring.

There are some minor nitpicks worth going over. First of all, there’s no USB-C port on the right side, which can make it difficult to integrate the computer into an existing home office setup. The screen is also limited to a 60Hz refresh rate, which can be a problem with some AAA games.
It’s worth noting that both of these deals are for the standard version of each laptop, with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of solid-state storage. However, you can upgrade both RAM and storage and still get the discount. The 16GB/512GB 15-inch model costs $1,500 as part of this sale, a $200 discount, while the special 13-inch version costs $1,350, a $150 savings.
