The M3 lineup of MacBook Air laptops is already seeing big discounts before the release of the new M4 MacBook Air laptops tomorrow. You can get the 13-inch MacBook Air laptop with 16GB RAM and 256GB SSD storage for $794.99 (originally $1,099) after an additional $54.01 on-page coupon on Amazon. This is the lowest price this MacBook has been since its release, according to price-tracking tools .
If you’re looking for longevity in your laptop, the 16GB RAM on any MacBook Air is vital and will last you a long time. All “older” MacBook Airs , including those with M2 and M1 chips, have good discounts right now (if you can find them in stock), but if you can afford to upgrade to the new M4 MacBook Air that comes out tomorrow, March 12, you’ll be getting a better value for your money , according to Jake Peterson, Lifehacker’s Senior Technology Editor. It’s an even better value than the M4 Pro . However, if you prefer to save yourself some $200, the M3 is still a capable and powerful laptop in 2025. You can see the full breakdown of the M3 MacBook Air in CNET’s review.
The M2 is also deeply discounted, but it’s not easy to find a new one in stock right now. Keep in mind 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 over the M2 is the dual monitor support on the M3 MacBook Air, a feature that used to come only from the MacBook Pro lineup.
