After reports started to surface that MacBook Air stock was running low at Apple Stores, Amazon came to the rescue with some solid deals. Those unfortunately didn’t stick around for very long before units began to sell out there too, but some of them are now back. While the entry-level 13-inch models are still mostly out of stock at Amazon, it has conjured up some 15-inch models in all colorways with 16GB of RAM and they are now back down at $1,099 shipped. That’s $200 off the new $1,299 list price and $400 under the price they fetched before the RAM upgrade last fall.
We have already detailed the RAM situation a few times now for folks, but here’s a refresher just in case you missed it: Apple upgraded the M3 MacBook Air lineup (along with the rest of them and the M2 Airs) last fall, finally being rid of the 8GB RAM configuration on the base model in favor of a 16GB setup, all without raising the price. That means you’re effectively getting a configuration that was $1,499 not more than 5 months ago at $1,099.
While there is more than a good chance we see Apple update the MacBook Air lineup with the newer M4 chip this year, perhaps in the spring, considering how popular the now previous-gen models have been among 9to5Toys readers and the dwindling stock on units at Apple Stores, we though it pertinent to ensure these deals were front and center for folks.
Here’s how pricing shakes out across the lineup right now – some offers are live at Amazon, some at Best Buy:
