Amazon launches hidden M3 MacBook Air discount, dropping the laptop to $949

The hidden Amazon discount — which is in the form of a $100 instant rebate stacked with a $49.01 on-page coupon — is valid on Apple's standard M3 MacBook Air in your choice of finish. The 2024 model is equipped with 8GB of unified memory and 256GB of storage, making it best suited for light users looking for an alternative to an iPad Pro plus Magic Keyboard combo.

Buy for $949.99

Amazon's $949 price is the lowest we've seen on the latest Air that was announced in March 2024. Those wanting to use the Air to run more resource-intensive apps like Photoshop can also save on upgraded models at Apple Authorized Resellers. A full list of the deals can be found in our M3 MacBook Air 13-inch Price Tracker, which not only includes a coupon discount on the laptops themselves, but also bonus savings on AppleCare when shopping at Apple Authorized Reseller Adorama.

At press time, discounts of up to $150 off are readily available. It's a great way to save money for a rainy day or put toward accessories to enhance your setup further, such as the Apple Studio Display that's on sale for $1,299.99 ($300 off retail) at Amazon.
