While you will find some $200 price drops live on a very select number of M4 MacBook Air configurations this morning, we wanted to highlight this M3 deal. The listing for the 15-inch model in Midnight with 16GB of RAM is now back in stock at $400 under the list price on the comparable M4.
Coming courtesy of well-known and trusted authorized Apple dealer Expercom, its official Amazon storefront with Amazon fulfillment is now offering the 15-inch Midnight M3 MacBook Air with 16GB of RAM and the 512GB SSD down at $999 shipped.
This model started out at $1,699 before an official RAM upgrade effectively dropped the list price at Apple to $1,499. The comparable M4 model carries a list price at $1,399.
This means you’re saving $500 off its most recent sticker price and $400 off the current-generation M4 model’s list price. Even if you factor in the current sale price on select M4 models, you’re still looking at $200 less with this M3.
It is also worth noting that Best Buy is currently charging $100 more than this for the 16GB/256GB model M3.
We did see the entire lineup of M4 MacBook Air models at $250 off over Black Friday and the holidays last year, but those deals are long gone in favor of the $200 off we have tracked this year. That said, even those deals are mostly gone now on all but a very select number of colors and configurations. It’s not an M4, but the M3 is still a solid option, more than powerful enough for most folks, and you are looking at the model with 16GB of RAM – not the highly underwhelming old 8GB models.
