Best MacBook Air deals this month
Macworld

In March 2024, Apple introduced new MacBook Air models with M3 chips bringing the MacBook Air into line with the MacBook Pro models that had featured the M3 and variants of that chip since October 2023.

Then in October 2024, when Apple updated the MacBook Pro models to M4 chips, Apple doubled the unified memory in the MacBook Air. While the MacBook Air models are still running M3 chips, they now ship with 16GB RAM as standard rather than 8GB. The boost is likely due to the requirements of Apple Intelligence.

The news means that now is a great time to buy a MacBook Air, either one of the models with 16GB RAM or one of the older models, if they have had a decent price drop. In this round-up of the best MacBook Air deals you can find the best prices for all MacBook Air models right now–including older models, which are often heavily discounted. Read on to save money on the MacBook Air.

We follow all the Apple resellers all year round, so we know the best prices resellers have sold Apple products for–and we know if they have a really good deal and not just an ok deal. Check out the best deals we are seeing right now below.

If you aren’t sure whether to buy the MacBook Air or MacBook Pro we recommend you read about the differences between the MacBook Air and Pro. We also have a MacBook buying guide to help you decide.

Watch out for the best deals over Black Friday. See our round up of the Best Black Friday 2024 Apple deals and our Best Black Friday 2024 MacBook deals, plus Best Black Friday 2024 Mac Deals.

Best MacBook Air deals right now

Note that in October 2024 Apple increased the amount of RAM in the MacBook Air from 8GB as standard to 16GB. Since it costs $200/£200 at point of sale to upgrade the RAM from 8GB to 16GB we suggest that you don’t consider a MacBook Air with 8GB Unified Memory unless the price is $200/£200 less than it was previously or the amount of storage is high enough to warrant the price in comparison with a newer model.

Discontinued MacBook Air models

While stock is still available you may be able to pick up a deal on these discontinued Macs. Apple has recently doubled the RAM in the MacBook Air but you may be able to find a model with 89GB RAM on sale – just make sure you get a good deal on those models as you can’t add extra RAM at a later date and to update the RAM from 8GB to 16GB costs an extra $200/£200 at point of sale.

M2 13.6-inch MacBook Air, 8-core CPU/8-core GPU, 256GB, was $999/£999 – Discontinued (Previously: $1,099/£1,149 and $1,119/£1,249 at launch)

Where to buy the MacBook Air

You can buy a MacBook Air directly from Apple in the US or at Apple UK, but the stocks may be low and Apple very rarely drops prices – see Where is the MacBook Air in stock. You may however find a MacBook Air in stock and discounted at one of these resellers. There are plenty of stores and Apple Premium Resellers around the world that offer discounts on new and old Macs, so it’s worth shopping around (read our Where to buy a Mac article for more advice).

One benefit of buying from Apple is you could trade in your old Mac and get money off. We have an article explaining How to get money off with Apple’s trade-in program.

We recommend the following resellers in the U.S. and U.K.:

Best refurbished MacBook Air deals

The deals you will see above are from Apple resellers rather than Apple itself – Apple very rarely drops the prices of the Macs it sells. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t save money buying from Apple: if you want to get a discount on a Mac from Apple you can buy a refurbished Mac. It’s not only Apple that sells refurbished Macs, but Apple does offer some great incentives to buy from Apple’s Refurbished Store, so we do recommend taking a look there for great MacBook Air deals.

The Macs in Apple’s refurbished store may be ex-display stock, or they may have been returned to Apple due to a fault, but they are fully reconditioned now and come with a full year’s warranty. It’s not like buying secondhand. Read about buying a refurbished Mac.

In the U.S. you’ll find the following MacBook Air available in the refurbished store:

13-inch MacBook Air, M1, 7-core GPU

13-inch MacBook Air, M1, 8-core GPU

13-inch MacBook Air, M2, 8-core GPU

13-inch MacBook Air, M2, 10-core GPU

You can save as much as $210 off a MacBook Air with M2, compared to the original price.

Get a refurbished MacBook at Apple's refurbished store (U.S.)

In the U.K. you’ll find a slightly smaller selection of Mac laptops available from Apple’s refurbished store. Here’s what you can find:

13-inch MacBook Air, M1, 7-core GPU

13-inch MacBook Air, M1, 8-core GPU

13-inch MacBook Air, M2, 8-core GPU

13-inch MacBook Air, M2, 10-core GPU

There are savings of £220 off a MacBook Air with M2, compared to the original price.

Get a refurbished MacBook at Apple's refurbished store (U.K.)

You can get refurbished Macs from other suppliers too, including the following refurbished resellers listed below:

In the U.S.:

Apple

Amazon

Back Market

Best Buy

Decluttr

Gainsaver

OWC

Mac Of All Trades

Refurb.me

In the U.K.:

Affordable Mac

Apple

Amazon

BackMarket

Hoxton Macs

Laptops Direct

MacFinder

Mac 4 Sale

Music Magpie

Amazon also has a certified refurbished store for Apple products, but we would advise against buying any products that are older than five years – most of the products we see on the Amazon refurbished store are very old. Another place to look is BackMarket US and BackMarket UK, which sells refurbished Macs and other Apple products. We also recommend Hoxton Macs in the U.K.

Other ways to save money

Students should check the Apple Education Store, where they will be able to pick up a discount (as long as they qualify for one). Read more: How to get a student discount from Apple. There is also Apple holds a “Back To Uni” event which runs in the US from June to September (and in the UK from July to October) and means you will get free AirPods with your purchase!
