While we are still tracking a $150 price drop on the 24GB M4 Mac mini, today we are turning our attention to some big-time price drops on MacBook Air. The latest M4 models are $150 off in select colors and storage capacities, but we also spotted some select M3 models for folks who don’t need the latest and greatest at $400 off the list prices. We are then highlighting the most affordable current-generation iPad down at $299 in three colors alongside some accessories – the Apple 20W USB-C Power Adapters at up to 47% off and Hyper’s Next 15W Qi2 MagSafe charging stand back at the 2025 low. All of that and more awaits below in today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break.
M4 MacBook Air still $150 off, but select upgraded M3 models are now $400+ off from $899
While we are still tracking up to $150 off select M4 MacBook Air configurations at both Amazon and B&H right now, there are some M3 options with as much $400 off the list prices this morning. One of the highlights here is the 15-inch M3 MacBook Air with 24GB of RAM and the 512GB SSD down at $1,299 shipped – that’s $400 off the $1,699 list price. This deal is live at Amazon and B&H right now. Details below.
Apple upgraded its M3 MacBook Air lineup at the tail end of last year to bump out the 8GB configuration with 16GB of RAM. This in turn brought the price down across the lineup – the 24GB model we are featuring here today fetched an original price at $1,899 that then dropped down to $1,699 after the RAM bump and is now selling at $400 below that.
For some, the M3 is out of the question now that the M4 model has arrived. Apple has reduced the price on the price on the M4 models by $100 after all – the 15-inch 24GB model with the 512GB SSD carries a $1,599 list price and you’ll find select colorways marked down to $1,449 shipped via Amazon right now. But it’s going to be a long while, likely not until the next-generation models release, until we see the 15-inch 24GB M4 anywhere near $1,299. It has thus far never gone for better than $200 off.
If you are interested in the big-time deals on the M3 models, you will also find the 13-inch 16GB/512GB variant marked down to $899 shipped at Amazon and B&H right now from the usual $1,299 list price – this is also $400 off.
B&H is actually running a MacBook Air sale right now and, while the M4 models are all, for the most part, at the same price you’ll find at Amazon, there are some additional M3 configuration deals you can scope out right here.

Regularly $349, Amazon has the 128GB entry-level model iPad A16 down at $299 shipped in blue, silver, and yellow right now. This is the lowest price we can find and on par with our previous mention.
