It’s super rare to see new Apple stuff discounted, so with that in mind, the 2024 MacBook Air being up to 18% off is not something to ignore. The 13″ and 15″ models — with various storage capacities — are seeing discounts as high as $250 and going for as low as $900.
MacBook Airs are easy to use and great for both casual and professional needs. All these models are powered by the latest M3 chip. The powerful 8-core CPU and 10-core GPU can keep up with all your daily work and play.
These laptops are extremely portable given their lightweight design and think frame (under a half inch thin) making it easy to carry around or slide into your bag. The battery life can go up to as high as 18 hours. That’s several full workdays of use before you need to go find your charger.
The screen uses Apple’s Liquid Retina display which allows for deep blacks and rich colors — one billion of them to be precise — with support for hardware-accelerated ray tracing. The screen is sharp, supporting a resolution of 6K at 60Hz, and the front facing camera supports 1080p HD. As far as audio goes, it has three built-in mics and six speakers that support Spatial Audio and Dolby Atmos.
As far as ports are concerned, these come with one MagSafe 3 charging port,a 3.5 mm headphone jack, two Thunderbolt USB 4 ports for charging, display, and data transfer.
Plenty of slick color options are available to you in that of Silver, Starlight, Space Gray, and Midnight.
Apple is also introducing Apple Intelligence, a built-in AI system to help you write, express yourself, and get things done effortlessly. The beta for that is launching later in fall of this year.
So what’s the exact price breakdown?
Well, the 13″ inch model is offered in both an 8GB memory with a 256GB SSD option and a 16GB with 512GB of storage option. The 8GB model is 18% off, bringing the price down from $1,099 to $899 — an 18% discount. The 16GB version is at 13% off, bringing the price down from $1,499 to $1,299 — a 13% discount.
As for the 15″ model, it also has an 8GB and a 16GB option for RAM, however both versions actually come with the larger 512GB SSD. The 8GB here normally goes for $1,499, but is 6% off at $1,414. The 16GB one is usually $1,699, but is now 15% off at just $1,449. The latter seems like the way to go with these two given price points.
