Apple's MacBook Airs are sleek and lightweight thanks to the fanless design, but historically, they were small and base configurations tended to lack the memory for high-resolution video editing and motion design, starting at just 8GB. That started to change with the introduction of the 15-inch model, and last year, Apple finally dropped the 8GB version for a starting spec of 16GB.

Right now Amazon has $110 off the base 15-inch M3 MacBook Air, taking the price down to $1,189. But if you want more reassurance that you're laptop won't stutter during content creation, there's also $250 off the top-of-the-range 24GB memory / 51GB SSD configuration, down to a record-low price of $1,449.

Save $250: Amazon has deals across the latest MacBook Air range at the moment, with the base version of the 15-inch model now $1,189.But if you need a laptop for content creation or video editing and you use high-resolution footage, I'd make the investment in this high-spec 24GB configuration.
