If you thought you couldn’t get a laptop worth buying for less than $1,000, Best Buy has a solid deal that might change your mind.

As of Jan. 24, you can get a 13-inch MacBook Air (M3, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD) for $899 at Best Buy. That’s a $200 price cut. And, if you trade in an eligible device, you can get up to $370 off that price, bringing the total down to just $529 after all is said and done.

The MacBook Air is ideal for students and professionals who are on the go and need a lightweight, portable device that can handle everyday tasks like browsing the web, writing documents, sending emails, and streaming media. This model has an M3 chip, 16GB of RAM, and 256GB SSD storage, so it’s a powerhouse compared to most $900 laptops.

“Our testing shows that the M3 MacBook Air is about 20% faster, give or take, than the M2 MacBook Air, particularly when it comes to creator-focused workflows,” Mashable’s East Coast Tech Editor Kimberly Gedeon wrote in her review of the 15-inch M3 MacBook Air. “In other words, expect zippier performance, whether you’re a fledgling video editor or a photo-editing hobbyist.”

At this price, it’s hard to find a better value for a powerful and portable MacBook Air.
