If the past year is any indication, we’re probably less than a month away from Prime Day. However, if you don’t feel like waiting for Amazon’s 48-hour event, here’s one deal I recommend you snatch right now.
For a limited time, you can get the new one MacBook Air 15-inch on sale for $1,199 at Amazon. That’s $100 off and the first big discount we’ve seen on Apple’s new laptop. To be fair, the Apple Back to School sale has it on sale for the same price and you’ll get a $150 Apple Store Gift Card, but this deal is only available to students and teachers. This Amazon deal is open to everyone, making it one of the best MacBook deals out there.
The 15-inch MacBook Air is an absolutely amazing laptop. The MacBook Air 13 M2 is our current pick for the best laptop on the market, but the new 15-inch version is even better. Additionally, this MacBook has six speakers for a more immersive audio experience compared to the 13-inch MacBook Air.
In our MacBook Air 15 review, we said the Editor’s Choice laptop delivers solid performance for everyday computing while the 15-inch screen is great for watching videos and browsing the web. Throw in an exceptional 15 hours of battery life and an overall sleek design, and the MacBook Air 15 is a big winner.
The 2023 MacBook Air 15 is the first Air to feature a 15.3-inch Liquid Retina display. Despite its larger screen, it still measures 0.45 inches thick and weighs 3.3 pounds. (By comparison, the 13-inch Air is 0.44 inches thick and weighs 2.7 pounds.) This makes it one of the thinnest and lightest 15-inch devices around.
Apple says the 15-inch MacBook Air M2 will last up to 18 hours of battery life, putting it on par with some of the best laptops for battery life we’ve tested. In our test, however, it lasted 14 hours and 59 minutes, which is still an impressive amount of time.
It’s worth noting that while the new MacBook Air 15 delivers great performance, you won’t get as much power as the MacBook Pro. This is due in part to the fact that the 13-inch MacBook Pro has active cooling thanks to its fans, while the MacBook Air 15 does not.
It’s true that the Fourth of July sales are around the corner, but I don’t expect this laptop to get much cheaper when July rolls around.
