They were already sitting at particularly low prices, but Amazon just dropped the 15-inch M3 MacBook Air even lower – it is now at the best we have ever tracked there. The M4 MacBook Air lineup is still $200 off the list prices, but you can now land the M3 15-inch model with 24GB of RAM at $600 off the latest list price.
Amazon is now offering the Starlight or Space Gray 15-inch M3 MacBook Air with 24GB of RAM and the 512GB internal SSD down at $1,099 shipped – this is a new Amazon all-time low.
Update 9/29: The Space Gray model has jumped up $100, but the Starlight model is still live.
As we have detailed previously, because the M3 MacBook Air lineup effectively saw a price cut near the end of its lifecycle after Apple nixed the 8GB RAM tier, there are a few details to understand here when it comes to price comparisons on this model:
- Original price: $1,899
- New list price after RAM upgrade: $1,699
Today’s deal is a gigantic $800 off this machine’s original list price, $600 off the list price it landed at after the RAM upgrade, and $100 below our previous mention.
But perhaps a more helpful comparison is that of the comparable M4 machine – you clearly wouldn’t want the M3 model unless it was significantly less than that right?
The 15-inch 24GB/512GB M4 MacBook Air carries a $1,599 list price and is currently on sale for $1,399 shipped at Amazon.
That’s means today’s M3 machine is $500 under the MSRP of the 24GB M4 machine and another $300 under the sale price we are tracking at Amazon right now.
The M3 is no M4, but it looks nearly identical (outside of the fact that you can’t get the Space Gray paint job anymore), and it is more than powerful enough for most users in my opinion – it still works wonderfully for me.
Here’s rundown of the discounted pricing across the M4 MacBook Air lineup right now for reference:
