Apple releases MacBooks on a pretty steady annual cadence, meaning that if you want to score an especially good deal, looking to last year's models can save you money.
Case in point: the 13-inch M3 MacBook Air with 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage is currently on sale for $699 at Best Buy, down $200 from its $899 list price. At the time of writing, Amazon doesn't have this model in stock. According to the price tracker camelcamelcamel, this MacBook's lowest recorded price at Amazon is $799, making this deal especially impressive.
Though it's a 2024 model, this laptop boasts plenty of impressive features that keep up with the current landscape. The 2025 M4 MacBook Air claims 18 hours of battery life — in their testing, our sister site PC Mag (also owned by Ziff Davis) found the M3 Air ran for a whopping 22 hours of use (though Apple claims the same 18 hours with the M3). In the press release for the M4 Air, Apple writes that the new chip is up "2x faster than the M1 model." For the M3 Air, Apple writes, the "new MacBook Air is up to 60 percent faster than the model with M1." In other words, the M4 chip doesn't bring that much more speed than the M3. (At the time of writing, the M4 Air is on sale, but still $150 more than the M3 laptop).
