We have been tracking some more than notable price drops on the M3 MacBook Air since Apple upgraded the base model to include the 16GB RAM upgrade at no additional cost. Joining deals on the higher-end configurations down below, we just spotted the new entry-level model with the 16GB of RAM and the 256GB SSD down at $899 shipped via Amazon and Best Buy. As of right now the color options at Amazon are limited, so be sure to scope out the Best Buy listings as well.
This model originally fetched $1,299. And by originally, I mean a little over a month ago before Apple upgraded to 16GB base models – it now fetches a $1,099 MSRP to deliver $200 in savings (this is $400 under the price this model sold for in early October).
While we did track a number of notable price drops on the M3 lineup during the back to school season and leading right up into mid to late September, this the lowest we have tracked on the 13-inch 16GB model to date.
Apple’s MacBook Air lineup remains the most accessible and best-selling option in the lineup. There’s no denying how nice those new M4 MacBook Pros are, especially with that Space Black paint job, and while we are tracking the first cash deals on those as well, they are frankly overkill for some folks. The M3 MacBook Air with the 16GB of RAM seems to hit the sweet spot for a broad range of potential Apple laptop customers and pricing has never been better than it is right now across a number of configurations:
- 13-inch M3 MacBook Air 16GB/256GB $899 (Orig. $1,299, Reg. $1,099)
- 13-inch M3 MacBook Air 24GB/512GB $1,449 (Orig. $1,699, Reg. $1,499)
- 15-inch M3 MacBook Air 16GB/256GB $1,249 (Orig. $1,499, Reg. $1,299)
- 15-inch M3 MacBook Air 16GB/512GB $1,389 (Orig. $1,699, Reg. $1,499)
