Amazon Prime Day has seen some fantastic Apple deals over the past two days, but don't worry too much if you were late catching on. While some deals have gone, you can still get the latest version of Apple's bestselling laptop with a record $250 off.
Amazon has this year's M3 MacBook Air 13 reduced from $1,099 to $849. If you prefer a larger laptop, there's also $250 off the 15-inch M3 MacBook Air, which is reduced from $1,499 to $1,249. Just make sure you check the box to apply the coupon for the extra $50 discount before you go to checkout.
We loved the MacBook Air M3 when we reviewed it, and we think it's the best Apple laptop for most people. It's powerful enough for most regular creative tasks, such as photo editing, graphic design and layout and even light video editing, and it's super compact and portable. It also provides outstanding battery life of up to 18 hours. It's only really for more serious video editing and 3D work, that we'd suggest you might need a MacBook Pro. And these deals provide fantastic value on a pair of laptops that was only released in March.

Overview: The newest MacBook Airs released at the start of March provide a relatively small but welcome boost in performance over the previous M2 laptops. We think the slim and light fanless design makes them a great option for creatives looking for a portable device.
