There are worse ways to celebrate the new year than treating yourself to one of Apple’s state-of-the-art M3 laptops, especially when one of them has just taken an unexpected $200 price drop. That’s exactly what’s just happened at Amazon, where the 13-inch 2024 MacBook Air is now on sale for $899, an 18% markdown that takes this powerhouse laptop nearly back to its Black Friday sale price.

We’ve become so used to seeing deals on refurbished MacBooks that we had to read this one twice, but it’s for real — this is the newest, fastest version of the MacBook Air, powered by the revolutionary M3 chip and built for Apple Intelligence for unprecedented AI power and privacy protection.
Work and Play All Day
Even with the brand-new M3 chip driving the 2024 MacBook Air to its fastest performance ever — up to 1.6 times faster than the MacBook Air’s M1 model — this version delivers up to an incredible 18 hours of life on a single battery charge, and can support up to 2 external displays when its lid is closed. The speed isn’t just limited to the M3 processor, either — the MacBook Air supports Wi-Fi 6E, which is up to 2x faster than Wi-Fi 6.
The connections for the M3 MacBook Air are the simplest yet for a Apple laptop. It’s powered by a newly redesigned MagSafe charging port, and the two Thunderbolt ports make for fast, stable, and reliable connections for displays, data transfer to portable hard drives, or any other parallel accessory you want to attach.
The 2024 M3 MacBook Air’s FaceTime HD camera has twice the resolution of the M1 MacBook Air, and with a brighter version of Apple’s Liquid Retina display and an improved 4-speaker sound system with Spatial Audio, videoconferencing and calls will come through more clearly than ever before.
Your iPhone’s New Bestie
The M3 MacBook Air has more interactivity with the iPhone than ever before. The new iPhone Mirroring features let you answer calls and texts with your laptop far easier than previous iterations of the MacBook or the iPhone, and now you can scan documents and also copy and paste text across devices for the first time.
The 2024 M3 MacBook Air lives up to its name by being incredibly portable — it’s less than a half-inch thick with the lid closed, and weighs barely over 2.5 pounds. It’s the ultimate combination of power, speed, and efficiency, and this unannounced Amazon sale dropping it back under $900 is just another reason to make the upgrade.
