That’s exactly what’s happening right now with the new 2025 MacBook Air, released in March. The 256GB version launched at $999 but for Prime Day, Amazon has dropped the price to $849. This is not only the lowest price ever for this model, but it’s also half the price of the least expensive MacBook Pro which starts at $1,699

Prime Day deals have arrived, and Apple is offering some huge MacBook deals, with savings of up to $350 on every Air and Pro model. Particular standouts for me are $150 off the M4 MacBook Air (arguably one of the best laptops you can buy right now) and a whopping $170 off the M4 MacBook Pro.

To score a great deal on a great computer, just look back a couple of years. This 2023 MacBook Pro was a stellar device back then and it’s a solid computer today. It has an M3 chip and 18GB of memory, so it will crunch data almost as well as many brand-new computers.
