My Favorite Amazon Deal of the Day: The 13-Inch M3 Apple MacBook Air

The new lineup of M3 MacBook Air laptops launched this March, and surprisingly, they already have impressive discounts. You can get the 13-inch MacBook Air laptop with 16GB RAM and 256GB SSD storage for $899 (originally $1,099) after a $200 discount on Amazon. This is only $100 more than the 8GB RAM version, which is well worth the extra money. This is the lowest price this MacBook has been since its release, according to price-tracking tools.

If you're just looking for more power than just your everyday work, the MacBook Air 16GB RAM is a great choice and will last you a long time. All MacBook Airs, including those with M2 and M1 chips, also have good discounts right now, but if you can afford the extra money to upgrade from the M2 to the M3, you'll be getting a better value for your money. You can see the full breakdown of the M3 MacBook Air in CNET's review.

The M3 chips have almost double the read speeds of the M2 and 33% faster write speeds. If you're not sure if it's worth upgrading from the M2 or are undecided about which one to get, you can read our breakdown comparing the two. One of the advantages of getting the M3 is the dual monitor support on the M3 MacBook Air, a feature that only used to come from the MacBook Pro lineup. The current discount is available for all four colors of the MacBook Air.
