Best Buy price matched for me - bought one from them a week ago online. Pretty good price, even with Apple making 16gb ram the default going forward.

This should be flying off the shelves. This is the best deal since the epic M3/16GB/512GB for $1080 deal back in April.

Yes, 6 month later and still $90 more. Still, this will be the deal to beat this holiday season.

This is an okay deal. It's $1199 at Apple Edu store that anyone can get. So a $30 savings.

This must be a fairly recent price drop. Wasn't the original MSRP for the M3/16GB/512GB config $1500?

All macbooks are now 16GB base model since this week. MSRP for M3/16GB/256GB is $1099, M3/16GB/512GB is $1299

Quote from ftccodeal :
Just because Apple starts offering 16gb on base models - that too with 256gb storage, does not justify this price for a MacBook Air. MacBook Air should remain on 8gb and be priced $700 for 256gb and $800 for 512gb. Anything above $1k should be a pro model.
I love when Slickdeal users just make up an imaginary price in their head and then declare that anything with that product name should cost under this imaginary price, regardless of specs or features.

The Macbook Air originally launched at $1800. The cheapest Macbook Pro ever launched was $1200, and the average price was around $1500-$1700. There has never been a $1k Macbook Pro.

Decent price, considering Apple EDU dropped prices. This particular version of the MBA is now $1,199 at the Apple EDU store, so this deal at MC is a $30 discount. I would wait, as I believe prices may go down further in the coming days, unless you happen to have the $100 off any laptop coupon at MC.
