Recently, Apple unveiled the latest M4 MacBook Air, featuring a fresh sky blue color option and an upgraded 12MP camera that comes with Center Stage support. However, the most significant change is its reduced starting price.
Indeed, the MacBook Air now begins at just $999. This is a noteworthy development for two reasons: firstly, you can now get the latest technology for that price instead of settling for older models, and secondly, it opens the door for fantastic clearance sales on previous versions.
Previous MacBook Air Offers
The M2 MacBook Air set the modern design standard that continues today. Until last week, Apple had both M2 and M3 MacBook Air models available in its online store, ensuring there’s ample stock.
Apart from the color choices, processing chip, and webcam, the M2, M3, and M4 MacBook Airs are largely identical. It mainly depends on whether you seek the latest silicon technology.
Additionally, both earlier models received a RAM upgrade last year alongside the M4 MacBook Pro launch, meaning all M2 and M3 MacBook Air variants now come standard with 16GB of RAM, akin to the new M4 MacBook Air.
Now that we’ve covered that, here are the best offers on previous generation MacBook Airs as of now. Each deal is around a 20% discount, ensuring at least $200 in savings:
13-inch Model with M3 Chip
- 13-inch MacBook Air featuring a 256GB SSD and 16GB RAM – $799 at Amazon (includes on-page coupon)
- 13-inch MacBook Air with a 512GB SSD and 16GB RAM – $999 at Amazon
- 13-inch MacBook Air equipped with a 512GB SSD and 24GB RAM – $1199 at Amazon
15-inch Model with M3 Chip
M2 Chip
- 13-inch MacBook Air with 256GB SSD and 16GB RAM – $699 at Best Buy
- 13-inch MacBook Air featuring a 512GB SSD and 8GB RAM – $699 at Amazon (note this model has less RAM, but if you prioritize storage, this could be the right choice)
Conclusion
Previous MacBook Air deals might not appeal to everyone. For instance, if you require multiple external displays, you’ll need an M4 model. However, if you’re simply in the market for a reliable MacBook for typical usage, the M2 and M3 models can be fantastic options, albeit without the new sky blue hue.
If you are keen on that blue finish, you can pre-order either the 13-inch or 15-inch M4 MacBook Air today to receive it on the launch day.
