If you have been hemming and hawing over whether to buy a new MacBook, then a current sale might just sway you. Right now, Apple’s 15-inch MacBook Air with an M3 chip is down to $1,049 from $1,299 — a 19 percent discount. The deal brings our choice for best budget MacBook to just $50 more than its all-time low price.

Apple released the 15-inch MacBook Air with an M3 chip (along with a 13-inch model) in 2024. We gave it a 90 in our review thanks to features such as the M3’s fast performance, with a much bigger speed boost than we expected. The 15-inch option also offers a six-speaker array, compared to the 13-inch’s quad-speaker array. Plus, it has a sturdy design, along with a great keyboard and trackpad.

Our big con was that this MacBook Air still doesn’t have USB-C ports on both sides. Yes, it seems minor, but when your charging cable just reaches where you’re sitting, having the option to plug it in on either side makes a big difference.
