Yes, Apple just released the new M3-powered MacBook Air laptop and it’s great. But, it’s also full-price. If you don’t need the latest and greatest machine, the fantastic M1-powered MacBook Air is just $650 right now at Amazon while they last. That’s $100 cheaper than the cheapest price I have seen. It’s also cheaper than the refurbished models.

This is the 13-inch version of the MacBook Air with the wedge-shaped body design. It’s very skinny at the front and slightly thicker at the hinge. You still get a Retina display, Apple’s very capable M1-series chip (which includes the processor, GPU, and system memory in one tidy package), and a pair of Thunderbolt USB-C ports. This is a perfect laptop for school or college, but it may sell out when it’s this cheap. Don’t sleep on it.

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.
