No matter how you swing it, Apple’s computers are expensive, making sales crucial in the pursuit of taking one home. Fortunately, Amazon Prime Day is basically here and one of the best Prime Day laptop deals we found is on Apple’s 13-inch 2024 MacBook Air with an M3 chip.
Our top pick for the best MacBook overall is down to $899 from $1,099 — an 18 percent discount. You’ll get this sale price on the model with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, and it doesn’t come with AppleCare+ (which isn’t surprising). Historically, Prime Day deals on laptops can be hit or miss, but this is a great one to consider right now if you’ve been eyeing a new MacBook to replace your aging laptop.

Apple’s 2024 MacBook Air has a 13.6-inch Liquid Retina Display that can support one billion different colors. We gave it a 90 in our review thanks to offers like a 1080p FaceTime HD camera, three mics and up to 18 hours of battery life. The M3 chip makes it a faster device, with an 8-core CPU and up to 10-core GPU. It also supports dual external displays — though the MacBook must be closed.
If you’re in the market for a larger screen, check out the sale on the 15-inch version of Apple’s M3-equipped 2024 MacBook Air. This model is also on sale, dropping to $1,099 from $1,299 — a 15 percent discount. It weighs an extra half a pound, but with a 15.2-inch screen, the additional space might be worth some weight. Plus, it offers six speakers, compared to the 13-inch’s four.
