Macs powered by the M4 provide a meaningful upgrade because this time, you not only get a performance and efficiency bump thanks to the new Apple Silicon, but you get 16GB of unified RAM as standard on every model. That would make the M3-powered machines, like the 13-inch MacBook Air, a less compelling option, right? Quite the contrary, because Amazon has discounted the higher-tier RAM and storage variants by an attractive $200.
Best of all, it applies to the version with 24GB RAM and 512GB storage, which can be yours for $1,299 if you opt for the Starlight, Midnight, or Space Gray finishes. If you want to use the portable Mac as early as possible and do not have a personal preference regarding which M3 MacBook Air color to pick, you can get the Starlight finish, as it is estimated to be delivered on November 17.
Of course, a ton of users can get through the day with just 16GB RAM, and that 512GB of storage will be plentiful, provided you are somewhat careful with the usage. For those wanting to save money by opting for a lower configuration, the aforementioned specifications are available with another M3 MacBook Air, which is down to $1,099 after the same $200 price cut.
Just like before, the Starlight, Midnight, and Space Gray colors models are discounted, with the fastest delivery available for, once again, the Starlight finish. At this point, we will steer buyers clear from getting the 8GB unified RAM version unless it is available for an exceptional deal because you are pretty much limited to what you can do with the machine, apart from taking notes and opening a few spreadsheets. We always recommend that consumers opt for the higher RAM and storage tiers because even though they might not need them, they do get that extra freedom.
