I just missed this Apple MacBook Air M3 Prime Day deal, and I'm livid!

If you've been looking for a deal on the best laptop for students, call off the search — we've found it for you.

The Apple MacBook Air M3 is much the same as the prior model, only with around 20% better performance in the same footprint, and improved AI potential thanks to an upgrade Neural Engine.

Better yet, you can get the 13-inch M3 for the same price as the M2 version when purchased at Amazon. I'm a little exasperated because I just bought the new MacBook Air M3 at full price and I've missed out on almost 20% off!

The retailer has knocked 18% off of the MSRP, bringing it down to just $898 in a variety of colorways.

You can get the Apple M3 MacBook Air on sale right now at Amazon for $898.99 but act fast because it's a limited-time deal.

The MacBook Air saw a design shakeup with the M2 version, which we dubbed the 'ultimate student laptop' in our Apple MacBook Air M2 review.

That remains true of the M3 version (I'm currently typing this on one right now). The M3 chip is ideally suited to standard tasks but can crank up the performance for more complex ones when required.
