Macworld

The MacBook Air is one of the most popular laptops around because it’s a great combination of features, portability, and price. Speaking of price, you can save some money on a brand-new MacBook Air, thanks to Amazon’s October Prime Day. Amazon is offering up to $265 off on several models of the MacBook Air:

M2 13-inch MacBook Air, 256GB: $749 ($250 off, MSRP $999)
M3 13-inch MacBook Air, 256GB: $849 ($250 off, MSRP $1,099)
M3 13-inch MacBook Air, 512GB: $1,049 ($250 off, MSRP $1,299)
M3 15-inch MacBook Air, 256GB: $1,044 ($255 off, MSRP $1,299)
M3 15-inch MacBook Air, 512GB: $1,234 ($265 off, MSRP $1,499)

The M2 and M3 MacBook Air have the same thin and light design with a gorgeous Liquid Retina display and super-skinny bezels, along with 18-hour battery life, a fantastic keyboard, fast charging with MagSafe, and two Thunderbolt ports. The main difference between the two models is the chip, though there are some other upgrades with the M3 model, such as the ability to run two external displays at the same time.
