MacBook Air M3 just got its first price drop — and it's a big one
Save $100 on Apple's new M3-powered laptop
As deals editor-in-chief at Tom's Guide, I closely track the best Apple deals every day. As an Apple user, I'm also constantly looking for the best Apple bargains for myself and right now is an excellent time to upgrade your Mac. I'm seeing amazing deals on both previous-gen and current-gen Apple gear.
The best deal right now is the current-gen MacBook Air 13-inch M3 on sale for just $999 at Amazon. That's $100 off and the lowest price ever for this newly released machine. (Note that it's selling out fast, so be sure to check all colors for this price). Additionally, you can get the iMac 24-inch (M3/256GB) on sale for $1,199 at B&H Photo. That's $100 off and the lowest price I've seen on Apple's new Mac. The Amazon page says it's out of stock, but you can still place your order at this price and Amazon will deliver it when stock is replenished.
That's not the only amazing deal though. Below are the best Apple sales right now, along with a deal on the MacBook I purchased last year. Also don't miss this Apple Vision Pro deal.

$400 off! If you want to future-proof your laptop, I highly recommend upgrading to 16GB of RAM. This upgraded model also bumps your storage to 1TB. It's one of the very few times I've seen the 16GB RAM model on sale.

In our MacBook Air M1 review, we said it offers amazing endurance and shockingly good speed.
