In March 2024, Apple introduced new MacBook Air models with M3 chips bringing the MacBook Air into line with the MacBook Pro models that had featured the M3 and variants of that chip since October 2023.

Then in October 2024, when Apple updated the MacBook Pro models to M4 chips, Apple doubled the unified memory in the MacBook Air. While the MacBook Air models are still running M3 chips, they now ship with 16GB RAM as standard rather than 8GB. The boost is likely due to the requirements of Apple Intelligence.

The news means that now is a great time to buy a MacBook Air, either one of the models with 16GB RAM or one of the older models, if they have had a decent price drop. In this round-up of the best MacBook Air deals you can find the best prices for all MacBook Air models right now–including older models, which are often heavily discounted.

Best MacBook Air deals right now

Note that in October 2024 Apple increased the amount of RAM in the MacBook Air from 8GB as standard to 16GB. Since it costs $200/£200 at point of sale to upgrade the RAM from 8GB to 16GB we suggest that you don’t consider a MacBook Air with 8GB Unified Memory unless the price is $200/£200 less than it was previously or the amount of storage is high enough to warrant the price in comparison with a newer model.
