I wish there was a bell to ring, because the MacBook Air M3 has just crashed to its lowest price yet in a limited-time deal. The newest Air in the range is now just $849 at Amazon – that’s $250 off the RRP, and $50 lower than we’ve seen before. Note: this is for the 13-inch version – the 15-inch is at a record-low of $1,049 (also $250 off the RRP) at Amazon.

We love the M3 Air for its super-speedy performance and gorgeous design. In fact it’s one of the highest picks in our laptops for graphic design list. In short, if you’re a creative with a medium workflow (this isn’t for video editing or 3D workflows), you can’t do much better than this – and even more so at this brilliant price.
