The spring sales continue to flow this week: Take B&H for example, which has a healthy discount on the Apple MacBook Air M3.

The 15-inch Apple MacBook Air M3 is now $899 at B&H Photo, a savings of $400 from the regular price. This price is valid on the Space Gray colorway (Silver is $100 more).

While this is not the lowest price ever (we saw it drop to $799 briefly at Amazon), it's the best price available right now, and the lowest price you can find for this early 2024 MacBook Air model (all four colorways for the MacBook Air M3 are $999 at Best Buy).

Note that this model has 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD, which is enough to do most daily tasks. If you do more memory intensive tasks like keep hundreds of open browser tabs, edit complex spreadhseets, or do a lot of creative work with large video and image files, you may prefer stepping up to the M3 model with 16GB of RAM at $999(now $200 off at B&H Photo).

In our review of the MacBook Air M3, we appreciated its lightweight design, gorgeous display, excellent performance, and long 15+ hour battery life. (We reviewed the configuration with 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD). We gave the system 4.5 stars, and at this lower price, it remains a good choice, even with the M4 version already on the market (albeit at a higher price).

At 3.3 pounds, the 15-inch MacBook Air remains one of the most highly portable systems you can buy. Snag this instant savings at BH Photo while you can.
