The 13-inch Apple MacBook Air M3 has dropped back to its historic low price after a steep 23% discount on the list price. Suffice it to say, the discount makes the MacBook Air 13 M3 an even easier recommendation than before since the laptop covers almost all the bases.

The latest Apple MacBook Air 13 with the M3 SoC has, once again, fallen to its lowest price ever on Amazon. As a result, the MacBook Air 13 can now be yours for only $849.98. This discounted price is $250 lower than the list price of the notebook and is for the entry-level SKU.

The specifications of the entry-level MacBook Air M3 on sale include a 256 GB SSD, 8 GB of RAM, and a 2560x1664 resolution IPS display. Other noteworthy hardware details include Wi-Fi 6E, two Thunderbolt 4 ports, a MagSafe connector, and a 3.5 mm audio jack.

While the specifications of the base MacBook Air 13 M3 are nothing to write home about, the laptop should nonetheless serve the average users quite well. As we noted in our review of the laptop, the MacBook Air M3 boasts a lot of strengths which allowed the laptop to earn a rating of 92%.

For starters, the notebook features an expertly crafted chassis in typical Apple fashion. The chassis also incorporates a comfortable keyboard and an excellent trackpad. Additionally, the 13-inch display is also pretty good with a sharp 2560x1664 resolution, almost complete coverage of the DCI-P3 gamut, and over 500 nits of brightness.

Sadly, the MacBook Air 13’s screen is stuck at 60 Hz and lacks in contrast. These are quite big holes, as you can find 120 Hz OLED panels in similarly-priced Windows machines.

What you can’t find on the Windows side, however, is speedy performance alongside a completely silent chassis courtesy of the 20% higher performance of the M3 SoC vs M2 and a fanless design.

Finally, the MacBook Air 13 M3 has the same excellent endurance that we’ve come to expect from Apple laptops. We measured a Wi-Fi websurfing endurance of 15 hours and 14 minutes.
