Some of Amazon’s best Prime Day deals are happening as we speak! The event officially kicked off this morning but continues until the end of tomorrow, June 22. You have plenty of time to get great discounts and snag some incredible deals! Don’t forget to check in on some of the speedy Lightning deals, either!

Just in time for Prime Day, Amazon is offering a nice little discount on the 2020 Apple MacBook Air with an Apple M1 Chip, 13-inch Retina display, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB solid-state drive. You get $50 off the full price, bringing it to $949 with free shipping and free returns. That price is good for all colors including gold, silver, and space gray.

So, the beautiful 2020 Apple MacBook Air. Should you buy it? In Digital Trend’s Apple MacBook Air (2020) review we closed out by saying that yes, you should buy it. “This is a solid option for Mac buyers who want an affordable daily driver.”

It features the Apple-designed M1 chip which offers excellent performance and has machine-learning support built in. The CPU has 8-cores, which is 3.5-times faster than the previous-gen MacBook models. The Air has a battery that will last for up to 18 hours on a single charge, so you can take it and use it just about anywhere, anytime — even if there are no outlets nearby. The superfast solid-state drive boots and loads quickly, and gets you in and out as fast as you need. Plus, it offers the same Mac experience you know and love.

Amazon is offering the 2020 MacBook Air, in all colors, for $949, which is $50 off the full price. As this is one of the latest models from Apple, this deal is not common and may not be available later in the year. Now’s as good a time as any to upgrade your laptop!

Apple fans who are on the hunt for laptop deals are probably looking for a nice offer on a MacBook, and we found a good one: the 14-inch Apple MacBook Pro M3 with 16GB of RAM with a $300 discount from Best Buy, bringing its price down to $1,399 from $1,699. You won't always get the chance at savings when buying Apple's laptops, so you'd want to hurry to make sure that you don't miss out on this offer. Proceed with your purchase immediately, as tomorrow may already be too late.

Why you should buy the 14-inch Apple MacBook Pro M3
There's a definite improvement when we compared the Apple's M4 chips versus M3 chips, but that doesn't mean the Apple MacBook Pro M3 is obsolete. It's still a reliable machine by today's standards, with an eight-core CPU and 10-core GPU providing enough power to breeze through your daily activities even when you're multitasking between several apps at the same time. The Apple MacBook Pro M3 also comes with 16GB of RAM, which is the recommended specification by our laptop buying guide for MacBooks, and it's more than enough to support Apple Intelligence.
