Best MacBook deals: Get an Air for $605 and save on M3 MacBook Pro

By

Apple has some of the best laptops on the market, and if you’re in the Apple ecosystem, then it makes sense to grab yourself a MacBook Air or MacBook Pro. There are a few options you can go for in terms of what sort of chip you want to run, starting with the slightly older M1 chip which is harder to find, to the higher-end M3 chip. Of course, they tend to be quite expensive, especially if you go for a MacBook Pro, so you’ll want to snag one of these Apple deals on MacBooks from various retailers to help save yourself a little bit extra.

Best MacBook Air (M1) deals

The Apple MacBook Air (M1) started a seismic shift for Apple being the first of its Airs to have an Apple-based processor. We took a look at the differences between the M2 and M1 and the M1 is still looking pretty great. It’s also a touch nearer to affordable than anything else here. Fast yet fanless so it’s silent to use, you gain an 18-hour battery life, a gorgeous looking 13.3-inch Retina display along with all the effortless style you’d expect from an Apple device. These laptops are best for students or those who want something stylish yet reasonably powerful to use on the move. Nowadays, deals are becoming a little harder to come by unless you’re willing to consider a refurbished/renewed model.

The MacBook Air (M2) shook things up a little by offering two different sizes — the 13.6-inch screen option and a 15-inch one. The latter features in our look at the best MacBooks . In all cases, you get the M2 chip which is faster than the previous M1, a bigger screen, more brightness from the display, along with a better 1080p FaceTime HD camera, and a larger speaker sound system. It’s a good option if you don’t need the fastest of systems and you want more portability than the Pro M2 can provide.

We’ve taken a deep dive into the differences between the MacBook Air M2 and the MacBook Pro M2 . Essentially, the MacBook Pro models tend to have a more souped up and better performing M2 chip but the MacBook Air M2 can have a bigger screen. It’s worth directly comparing the two models you might be considering as there are different configurations around. Also, bear in mind that the MacBook Pro M2 is heavier but boasts a larger battery. It also has the older webcam standard compared to the Air’s 1080p model. Finally, the MacBook Pro M2 13-inch model is the only one that still has the divisive Touch Bar on the keyboard. Have a think what’s most important to you and take a look at the MacBook Pro M2 deals available right now.

Best MacBook Air (M3) deals

While the M3 chip didn’t show up on the MacBook Air for quite a while, Apple has recently released both 13-inch and 15-inch versions of the MacBook with the M3 chip. That’s great for folks who don’t want to spring for the considerably more expensive MacBook Pro while still getting the next level of performance out of their laptops.
