The price cut is going to sting for those who purchased the M3 MacBook Air in the last 12 months, but for everyone else, this is a win.

The smaller Air is the perfect student laptop, but once you're out of school you should graduate to the larger but still highly portable 15-inch model.

We’re getting antsy for a more significant redesign, but the MacBook Air 15-inch remains Apple's best value in a big-screen laptop, thanks to a lower starting price, kicked-up CPU performance, and a boost in the base model's memory capacity.
