Best MacBook Air deals: April 2024

In March 2024, Apple introduced new MacBook Air models with M3 chips bringing the MacBook Air into line with the MacBook Pro models that have featured the M3 and variants of that chip since October 2023. The news means that now is a great time to buy a MacBook Air, either one of the new models or one of the older models that have now had a 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 the 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.

Best MacBook Air deals right now

The M3 MacBook Air is now on sale. It’s unlikely we will see any huge discounts for a while. In the U.S. resellers are yet to drop pricing for the M3 MacBook Air, so there are no deals right now. But keep an eye out for price drops in the tables below.

In the U.S. the discounts on the new MacBook Air are minimal, but there are a few.

• Amazon, 13-inch Macbook Air (M1, 256GB): $699 ($300 off, MSRP $999)
• B&H Photo, 13-inch MacBook Air (M2, 256GB): $899 ($200 off, MSRP, $1,099)
• Amazon, 15-inch MacBook Air (M3, 256GB): $1204 ($95 off, MSRP $1,299)

In the U.K. we are already seeing KRCS discount the M3 MacBook Air. You can also expect to see discounts for the M2 MacBook Air models: Apple is continuing to sell the 13-inch M2 MacBook Air at a lower price, but the one to watch out for is the 15-inch M2 MacBook Air, which is likely to see good discounts as resellers clear out old stock.

• KRCS, 13-inch MacBook Air, M3 (8-core GPU, 256GB) £1,044 (£55 off, RRP £1,099)
• KRCS, 13-inch MacBook Air, M3 (8-core GPU, 512GB) £1,044 (£55 off, RRP £1,099)
• KRCS, 13-inch MacBook Air, M3 (10-core GPU, 16GB RAM, 512GB) £1,424 (£75 off, RRP £1,499)

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.:

In the U.K.:

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!
