Apple 2023 MacBook Air Laptop 15.3-inch $1,049 (was $1,299)

The Apple 2023 MacBook Air is on sale for Amazon Prime Day.

Just released in June, Apple’s new MacBook Air is a significant upgrade from previous versions. At just 11.5mm thick and weighing only 3.3 pounds, this 15-inch laptop is lighter than ever but also more powerful than previous versions. Its M2 chip performs up to 12 times faster than the MacBook Air with the Intel processor. This laptop also features a stunning Liquid Retina display that’s bright and supports up to 1 billion colors. And the battery lasts up to 18 hours. Apple products rarely go on sale, so take advantage of the opportunity to save $150 on this stellar laptop this Prime Day.

Why Trust Popular Science

Popular Science started writing about technology more than 150 years ago. There was no such thing as “gadget writing” when we published our first issue in 1872, but if there was, our mission to demystify the world of innovation for everyday readers means we would have been all over it. Here in the present, PopSci is fully committed to helping readers navigate the increasingly intimidating array of devices on the market right now.

Our writers and editors have combined decades of experience covering and reviewing consumer electronics. We each have our own obsessive specialties—from high-end audio to video games to cameras and beyond—but when we’re reviewing devices outside of our immediate wheelhouses, we do our best to seek out trustworthy voices and opinions to help guide people to the very best recommendations. We know we don’t know everything, but we’re excited to live through the analysis paralysis that internet shopping can spur so readers don’t have to.
