$1,099 Save $300

Amazon just did something wild. The brand-new 2024 MacBook Air with the M3 chip is down to $799, and I’m trying really hard to come up with a reason not to buy it. Spoiler: I can’t. Apple isn’t exactly known for giving out discounts on a fresh(ish) release, so seeing this price drop feels like some kind of glitch. Normally, you'd be looking at $1,099, but Amazon has it marked down by $200. Then there’s an extra $99 coupon at checkout, bringing the total discount to $300.

The M3 chip is a real step up, making this the fastest and most efficient MacBook Air yet. Apple has been hyping up its future AI-powered features, and the M3 chip is built to handle them. You’re also getting 16GB of memory, which is kind of a big deal since it means this thing won’t start lagging the second you open a few too many Chrome tabs. The 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display is the same stunning screen Apple is known for, with support for a billion colors and True Tone to keep everything looking crisp. Battery life is also ridiculous. Apple claims up to 18 hours, which means you could realistically forget your charger at home and still get through a full day of work, doomscrolling, or streaming.

SEE ALSO: I've just scored Apple’s 10th-Gen iPad for under $260 at Amazon. That’s its lowest price in 30 days.

One of the best things about the MacBook Air is how portable it is. This model is under half an inch thin and weighs just 2.7 pounds, so throwing it in your bag is a no-brainer. The fanless design means it stays completely silent, even if you’re running multiple apps or watching way too many YouTube videos. It’s also got a 10-core GPU, which means it's a decent platform for creative work or casual gaming. If you’ve ever hopped on a video call and cringed at how grainy you looked, the 1080p FaceTime HD camera fixes that problem. The audio setup isn’t bad either, with a four-speaker system and Spatial Audio for immersive sound.

Connectivity is solid thanks to two Thunderbolt ports, a MagSafe charging port, WiFi 6E, and Bluetooth 5.3. It even has a headphone jack, which feels like a small miracle in 2025. The seamless integration with other Apple devices makes it even more tempting. You can start an email on your iPhone and finish it on your Mac, copy something on your laptop and paste it on your iPad, or answer text messages from your screen. Apple knows how to keep you locked into its ecosystem, and honestly, it works.
