Amazon’s Prime Day 2024 sale has officially commenced, and to kick things off with a bang, the online retailer has slashed the price of Apple’s 13-inch M3 MacBook Air to its lowest level. The upgraded version of the portable Mac that features 16GB of unified RAM and 512GB of NVMe storage was hovering around the $1,349 to $1,399 range, with some discount coupons added to the mix. Now, this exact model is down to a flat $1,299, making it the lowest price for this exact configuration.
At launch, the M3 MacBook Air’s base model was priced at $999, giving you a measly 8GB unified RAM and 256GB of non-upgradeable storage. Looking at the 16GB RAM and 512GB storage variant, you have more freedom with what you can do with the machine, and you only have to pay an additional $300. Some readers might be scratching their heads, probably assuming that $300 is chump change to us, but here is the shocking revelation. Apple charges a whopping $200 premium to go from 8GB RAM to 16GB and another $200 to increase the storage from 256GB to 512GB.
On this occasion, you get two upgrades while saving some money, and when it comes to a MacBook that is as capable as this one, getting increased memory and storage at a discount is a rarity. Of course, combine that with the incredibly robust build of the M3 MacBook Air, the accurately tightened hinges, and the abnormally large trackpad, and you have one of the best machines available to daily drive. For students, we will recommend getting the base model, which comes with 8GB unified RAM and 256GB of onboard storage, but for those that need to get more work done, we insist on getting this version.
