Macworld Black Friday is our favorite time of the year because when else could you see a brand-new MacBook Air laptop drop to a new best price? The 15-inch M3 MacBook Air is now available for $1,234 at Amazon,

Apple’s latest MacBook Air is getting the Black Friday treatment, dropping to a new best price of $849 on Amazon, a rare 23 percent off its original $1,099 price. That’s an absolutely lit discount for a laptop that’s only been out for about eight months, and doubly so because Apple tends to be stingy with its sales.

Three versions of the 2024 MacBook Air are on sale. All of them feature a 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display, Apple's M3 chip, backlit keyboard, Touch ID, up to 18 hours of battery life, and a lightweight design that’s under half an inch thick.
