Here’s the quick and dirty on how much you can currently get Apple’s jack-of-all-trades laptop for:
The 13-inch models are matching previous all-time low prices while the 15-inch pair are slightly beating their previous lows by an additional five bucks. Any of these options are great laptops for everyday web browsing, getting work / homework done, doing some light creative workflows, and lasting all day and then some on a single charge. I’d say it’s just a matter of picking the size you prefer, and, if you can justify spending the extra coin to step up to more RAM and more storage, it’s likely worth it for the long haul.
The current crop of M3 MacBook Airs didn’t exactly rock the boat when they came out in early 2024, as they stuck to the same design from the M2 generation. But the M3s are faster with improved Wi-Fi, and if you’re using one in a home or work desktop environment, you can close their lids and allow them to output to up to two monitors (previous models were limited to one external).
And while we may likely get some new MacBook Pros and / or a new Mac Mini sometime this fall (if Apple follows its usual cadence), it’s a safe bet that the M3 MacBook Airs are here to stay through the rest of the year. If you’re in the market for a great, lightweight laptop to use every day, you might as well get a deal now.
