Amazon Prime Day is coming to an end, but you can still shop some of the best Apple MacBook deals we've seen and snag a laptop for much less than full price.
Apple laptops get periodic discounts throughout the year, but these MacBook Prime Day deals are a step above what we typically see. We recommend jumping on a record-low $200 discount on the latest 15-inch MacBook Air running the M3 processor. This model is essentially a larger version of the 13-inch MacBook Air, and it's a much more affordable option than the 16-inch MacBook Pro if you prefer larger displays.
Check back here as the sales event winds down. We'll update this page with the best remaining Prime Day MacBook deals. For more savings, check out our complete roundups of all the best Apple Prime Day deals and the best Prime Day laptop deals.

The best Amazon Prime Day MacBook deals
Among the other top MacBook Prime Day deals remaining, you can grab the latest 14-inch MacBook Pro running the M3 processor at an all-time low price.
The 2022 MacBook Air introduced Apple's M2 processor, which improved performance over the M1 version. It has an especially thin and lightweight design, an improved webcam, and a larger display.
You no longer need a $2,000 MacBook Pro to get a 15-inch display. The 15-inch MacBook Air stretches your viewing real estate and offers the latest M3 power at a budget-friendly price. The larger screen will also greatly benefit anyone doing lots of media editing or needing to view spreadsheets.
The M3 MacBook Pro is yet another excellent device from Apple, but if you have an M2, we'd hold off upgrading. M1 users will notice a considerable improvement, and if you're still using an Intel MacBook Pro, this will basically blow your socks off.
Apple's powerful M3 Pro chipset and this base MacBook Pro model's soldered 18GB of RAM and 512GB of SSD storage work together to create a very capable video and music production machine.
Apple's most powerful M3 Max chipset and this MacBook Pro model's soldered 36GB of RAM and 1TB of SSD storage work together to create Apple's most capable video and music production machine.
How to pick the right MacBook
There are a lot of MacBook laptops available, and you can generally buy one that fits your budget and be happy. They're all excellent machines that will do just about everything you want from them. As you get into MacBook models with high-performance processors, like the M3 Pro and M3 Max, it'll do everything you want, but faster and better.
Generally, the best Apple laptop for the proverbial "most people" is the 13-inch MacBook Air running the M3 processor. If you like larger displays without spending MacBook Pro money, there's also a 15-inch model of the M3 MacBook Air.
If you're looking for the ultimate value, Apple still sells the M2 MacBook Air, which introduced the series' long-overdue design refresh. Despite running an older M2 processor, it's still incredibly capable — more so than many may realize.
Creative professionals who edit videos and do other visually intensive work will greatly benefit from the M3 Pro and M3 Max processors in the MacBook Pro series, not only for the extra processing but also for extra RAM and storage. These are significantly more expensive than the MacBook Air series, but they're worthwhile expenditures when serious heavy-duty workloads are part of your day-to-day. Larger MacBook Pros with 16-inch displays are also available, starting with the M3 Pro processor.
