Picking up a new MacBook can be pricey, so we always like sharing when a great model is having a steep sale. Prime Day deals have brought a high-end configuration of the 15-inch Apple MacBook Air M3 down to $1,249 — or a whopping $450 off its regular price. This model includes 24GB of RAM and 512GB of storage and typically costs $1,699.

The M3 MacBook Air was our top budget pick for MacBooks, and we were impressed with its fast performance thanks to the M3 chip, as well as its sturdy and sleek design. We also enjoyed the six-speaker array on the 15-inch model, as well as the 3K Liquid Retina display. Thanks to these features and more, it earned a score of 90 in our hands-on review.
Our only real gripe was that the charging and USB-C ports are all on one side of the MacBook Air, which can make arranging peripherals a touch cluttered. It can also make charging just a little more complicated if you have to drape a charging cable around the laptop to reach the port on the other side.
