The M3 MacBook Air just hit a new all-time low price (again)
MacBooks were one product category left alone at Apple’s most recent event: WWDC, which happened in June. But MacBooks are still at top of mind for us this summer — I mean, considering back to school season is one of the best times of year to buy a MacBook on sale.
Plus, if a certain Apple product was on your radar but out of your budget when it came out (like the new MacBook Airs released in March), your best bet is to circle back a few months later, as most Apple products get their first noteworthy discounts by that time. In the case of our favorite MacBook deal this week, that discount even beats the previous record-low sale price that we saw in July.
In any case, we’ve pulled the best MacBook Air and MacBook Pro deals live the week of August 12, from the latest generations to older models (if you’re looking for even more of a steal).

Why we like it
Just released in March 2024, the MacBook Air with an M3 chip has beaten its own record-low pricing: down to $ 849 from its $ 898.99 July sale price. Compared to the M2 Air, the M3-equipped model has around 15% faster processing power, supports WiFi 6E, and can support up to two external displays even if the laptop lid is closed. Despite all of that extra juice, the M3 MacBook Air squeezes out around 18 hours of battery life on one charge, and is still super portable — the 13-inch model highlighted here weighs just 2.7 pounds.
