In March 2025, Apple introduced new MacBook Air models with M4 chips, bringing them into line with the MacBook Pro models with M4 chips introduced in October 2024.
The 2025 MacBook Air brings some significant improvements: you can now plug in two or more external displays thanks to Thunderbolt 4 support, there’s a new Sky Blue color, and prices start at $999 for the current generation model – that’s $100/£100 less than previously (in the past the entry-level model was an older generation).
Now that the M4 MacBook Air is here it’s the perfect time to buy an M4 MacBook Air, we don’t expect to see any large discounts for a while, but you may see small savings from Amazon and from KRCS in the U.K when the new products go on sale on March 12. Look for the best prices below.
There may be bigger deals on the older M3 MacBook Air which has now been discontinued. There are a few things to look out for with M3 MacBook Air deals: Make sure that it includes 16GB RAM or more as there are some older M3 MacBook Air models with just 8GB RAM; the equivalent M3 MacBook Air prices were $100/£100 more than the new M4 MacBook Air, so make sure any discount compares favourably to the price of the current model. We’ll only include the best deals below with a clear explanation of what you are saving.
We follow all the Apple resellers all year round, so we know the best prices resellers have sold Apple products for–and we know if they have a really good deal and not just an ok deal. Check out the best deals we are seeing right now below.
If you aren’t sure whether to buy the MacBook Air or MacBook Pro we recommend you read about the differences between the MacBook Air and Pro. We also have a MacBook buying guide to help you decide.

Where to buy the MacBook Air
You can buy a MacBook Air directly from Apple in the US or at Apple UK. You may, however, find a MacBook Air in stock and discounted at one of these resellers. There are plenty of stores and Apple Premium Resellers around the world that offer discounts on new and old Macs, so it’s worth shopping around (read our Where to buy a Mac article for more advice).
One benefit of buying from Apple is you could trade in your old Mac and get money off. We have an article explaining How to get money off with Apple’s trade-in program.
We recommend the following resellers:

Best refurbished MacBook Air deals
The deals you will see above are from Apple resellers rather than Apple itself – Apple very rarely drops the prices of the Macs it sells. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t save money buying from Apple: if you want to get a discount on a Mac from Apple you can buy a refurbished Mac. It’s not only Apple that sells refurbished Macs, but Apple does offer some great incentives to buy from Apple’s Refurbished Store, so we do recommend taking a look there for great MacBook Air deals.
The Macs in Apple’s refurbished store may be ex-display stock, or they may have been returned to Apple due to a fault, but they are fully reconditioned now and come with a full year’s warranty. It’s not like buying secondhand. Read about buying a refurbished Mac.
In the U.S. you’ll find the following MacBook Air available in the refurbished store:
- 15-inch MacBook Air, M2, 10-core GPU, $929
- 13-inch MacBook Air, M3, 10-core GPU, $849
In the U.K. you’ll find a slightly smaller selection of Mac laptops available from Apple’s refurbished store. Here’s what you can find:
- 15-inch MacBook Air, M2, 10-core GPU, £1,099
- 13-inch MacBook Air, M3, 10-core GPU, £929
You can get refurbished Macs from other suppliers too, including the following refurbished resellers listed below:
In the U.S.:
In the U.K.:
Amazon also has a certified refurbished store for Apple products, but we would advise against buying any products that are older than five years – most of the products we see on the Amazon refurbished store are very old. Another place to look is BackMarket US and BackMarket UK, which sells refurbished Macs and other Apple products. We also recommend Hoxton Macs in the U.K.
Other ways to save money
Students should check the Apple Education Store, where they will be able to pick up a discount (as long as they qualify for one). Read more: How to get a student discount from Apple. There is also Apple holds a “Back To Uni” event which runs in the US from June to September (and in the UK from July to October) and means you will get free AirPods with your purchase!
