Save a Whopping $200 on This 13-Inch Apple MacBook Air M3 Right Now

Apple products are known for their durable construction, reliable performance and hefty price tags. Luckily, we at CNET continuously look for ways to save on all things tech, including the most coveted Apple laptops. If you've been looking to nab one, you can currently save $200 on a 13-inch MacBook Air M3 with 16GB of RAM and a 512GB solid-state drive at both Amazon and B&H Photo. In either case, you'll pay just $1,099 instead of the laptop's usual cost of $1,299. That's a savings of 15% and is only $50 higher than this laptop's lowest-ever recorded price. It's still a great deal for anyone who needs to start the year off with new tech.

As CNET's Joshua Goldman explains, "There's a good reason Apple keeps pitting the M3's performance gains against older M1- and Intel-based MacBook Airs: Those are the people who stand to gain the most by upgrading." That being said, the MacBook Air M3 includes a beautiful Liquid Retina display, support for Wi-Fi 6E and dual display. If you want a more futuristic way to use your device, this laptop supports Apple Intelligence thanks to a 16-core neural engine created to handle high-demand tasks.

This MacBook Air already includes Apple Silicon, an OS that supports creative, editing and graphic design apps. If you prefer other colors, you can find modest discounts on the midnight, silver and starlight versions, but keep in mind that space gray is the cheapest on offer right now. Once folded in half, this MacBook Air is approximately half an inch thick, so you can get tons of power in a laptop that's easy to take with you wherever you go.
