Save an Incredible $500 Off Apple’s 13-Inch M4 Apple MacBook Air While You Still Can

Apple’s M4 MacBook Air might be the latest iteration of its iconic thin and light laptop, but the previous-gen M3 version is still a great machine. The M3 13-inch MacBook Air remains one of the best laptops around today, and it’s even better when you can get one at a great price. Like right now, with B&H Photo offering a whopping $500 off a beefed-up version with 24GB of RAM.

This particular configuration, with a 512GB SSD and all that RAM, would normally sell for around $1,500. But if you take advantage of this deal, you’ll pay just $999 instead. We suggest doing it soon, too, because we don’t know how long this deal will stick around. It’s available in both silver and space gray versions, so make sure to pick the one you like best before ordering.

As CNET’s Joshua Goldman explains in his review, «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.

Other useful features include a battery life of up to 18 hours, Thunderbolt 4 ports and MagSafe 3 charging. 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.

Why this deal matters

Choosing to buy a Mac that isn’t the latest model is always a great way to save money. This upgraded model with 24GB of RAM is an even better deal, and because Apple’s M3 chip is so fast, it’ll be more than fast enough for years to come, too.
