The latest and greatest 15-inch M3 MacBook Air is on sale right now for $1150 via Amazon. That includes a $100 sale discount plus a $50 clip-in coupon, bringing the total price down to $150. That’s not a bad deal for a laptop that came out a few months ago.

The sale offers $100 off and there is a coupon to clip that gets another $50 off.
We were surprised how much we liked this computer, as the larger screen really makes a significant difference compared to the standard MacBook Air. We found the large display allowed for longer periods of use before tiring, which was helped by really excellent battery life. This thing easily lasts a full workday, with Apple touting 18 hours of battery life before requiring a charge.
One of our only complaints about the M2 MacBook Air was regarding the chip itself, as the computer could struggle with certain intensive tasks. This was fixed with the inclusion of the M3 chip. It’s not as powerful as the M3 Pro, of course, but it certainly gets the job done and then some.
It’s also a pretty light PC, despite the increase in size. It weighs about three kilograms and can easily be placed in a large bag. However, the added size makes it a bit more cumbersome to carry than the 13-inch model. But that’s the trade-off with any 15-inch laptop. There’s really only one major downside to this model, and that’s in terms of port placement. The charging and USB-C ports are only on one side, which can get annoying when you have a lot of accessories to connect on a crowded desk.
This particular deal is for the base model, with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of solid-state storage. However, every iteration available on Amazon is discounted. Don’t forget to clip this coupon.
