Apple’s new iPad Air and iPad Pro are impressive, but I personally prefer laptops with built-in trackpads and keyboards to get work done. If you feel the same way, the new MacBook Air with M3 engine is our top pick for most people, and right now, you can buy the base 13-inch model with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage for an all-time low of $949.99 ($150 off) on Amazon. If you want a few extra years of service, you can also buy the higher spec model from Amazon with 512GB of storage and 16GB of RAM for $1,349.99 ($150 off) when you clip the coupon on the page.
Thanks to Apple’s latest M3 chips, the 13-inch Air delivers even better performance than its fantastic predecessor. It comes with some small updates that also make it easier to use, including support for Wi-Fi 6E, as well as faster download and storage speeds. Most notably, though, it’s better for multitasking, as the laptop can now power two external displays instead of one when the lid is closed. Other than that, though, Apple’s latest entry-level laptop is similar to the M2 Air, with long battery life and solid port selection options that include two USB-C Thunderbolt 4 ports, a 3.5mm jack, and a MagSafe charging port.
