Deals: M3 MacBook Air $500 off, 24GB M4 Pro MacBook Pro $310 off, new low on titanium Apple Watch, more

Today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break deals are now ready to roll. We are starting off with a particularly notable and rare discount on the M3 MacBook Air for folks looking to save a ton over going with the M4 model – the 24GB 13-inch is now $500 off the original list price. We are also tracking a solid $310 drop on this 24GB M4 Pro MacBook Pro model at Amazon to join the 48GB setup at $364 off. We also have a new all-time low on this Titanium Apple Watch Series 10 Milanese model at $196 off as well as deep deals on iPhone 15 Pro and some sweet leather Apple Watch bands. Scope it all out below. 

Rare deal has Apple’s 13-inch 24GB M3 MacBook Air at $500 off the orig. list price today

We have a seen a number of opportunities to a land a deep discount on the previous-generation 15-inch M3 MacBook Air, but deals on the more affordable 13-inch are far more rare. There are some deals floating around out there on the now quite underwhelming 8GB, but this morning we spotted a particularly notable discount on the 24GB model via B&H at $500+ off the original list price. 

B&H is now offering the 13-inch M3 MacBook Air with 24GB of RAM and the 512GB SSD down at $999 shipped. This deal is live on both the Silver and Space Gray models. 

The 13-inch 24GB M3 Air started life at $1,699, but dropped to $1,499 after Apple ditched the 8GB RAM setup in late October last year. Today’s deal is $500 off that new original list price on this machine.

For the record, this model is completely sold out at Amazon

But with a newer model releasing earlier this year, price comparisons to the M4 are a better way to gauge how solid this deal is or not for you. The 13-inch M4 MacBook Air with the same RAM and storage specs carries a $1,399 list price – Apple reduced the price of the latest model by $100. And we have seen this one down at $1,199 a number of times over the last couple months. 

So today’s deal on the M3 is $700 off its original list price, $500 under the more recent list price, and $200 under the most commonly available deal price on the comparable M4 machine. 

I would argue the M3 MacBook Air is still a solid machine, and you might be waiting until this time next year before you start seeing the M4 model down at $400 or $500 off. 

Amazon has the 16-inch 24GB M4 Pro MacBook Pro at $310 off today in Space Black

While we are still awaiting the official announcement of the new M5 Pro MacBook Pro models, the release of the base M5 has ushered in some notable discounts on the existing M4 Pro models with hundreds in savings. This morning you can add the base model 16-inch M4 Pro variant with 24GB of RAM at $310 off the list.

Amazon is now offering the Space Black 16-inch M4 Pro MacBook Pro with 24GB of RAM and the 512GB SSD down at $2,189.13 shipped. This is a regularly $2,499 configuration that is still fetching as much at B&H, and is now $310 off the list price.

Today’s deal is the best price we have tracked in several months on the Space Black variant of this configuration. Back in May and June there were a couple extremely short-lived offers for less than we have here today, but you’re otherwise looking at the lowest we have ever tracked on Amazon.

For reference, the Black Friday deal last year in this model had it at $2,299. 

While some folks might just prefer to hold off on the new M5 Pro lineup at this point, it isn’t entirely clear when Apple will debut the pro-grade M5 chips and chances are you’re not going to be seeing a deal like today’s on one of those for a very long time.
