Amazon is home to good MacBook deals year-round (more so than any other kind of laptop), but its selection sees especially deep discounts during certain sitewide savings events. Earlier this week, the retailer hosted Prime Big Deal Days, a members-only "October Prime Day" sale that brought dramatic price drops across Apple's lineup ahead of a possible M4 refresh.
The sale technically ended on Wednesday, Oct. 9 at 11:59 p.m. PT, but a handful of Amazon's MacBook discounts across the M2 and M3 generations are still hanging around. That includes record-low prices on two of Mashable's favorite models, the M2 MacBook Air and the M3 MacBook Pro: We think they're the best budget MacBook and the best MacBook for video editing, respectively.

Read Mashable's full review of the 13-inch Apple MacBook Air (M2).
The 13-inch MacBook Air from mid-2022 is a Mashable Choice Award winner that combines "[rock]-solid battery life" with "a keyboard that’s to die for, and enough horsepower to handle everyday tasks with ease," wrote tech and games reporter Alex Perry. It's our current favorite "budget" MacBook, and it's now cheaper than ever before.
You can snag the base configuration with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage for $749, or $250 off its $999 MSRP (its lowest price since launch). If it sells out on Amazon, check Best Buy: It was matching the deal at the time of writing.

Read Mashable's full review of the 14-inch Apple MacBook Pro (M3).
The latest 14-inch MacBook Pro features an M3 chip that supports hardware-accelerated ray tracing for rendering lifelike lighting, plus a bright 120Hz mini-LED display, tons of ports (including an SDXC card slot), and a battery that lasted over 16 hours per charge in our testing. It's another Mashable Choice Award winner.
All configurations of the 14-inch M3 Pro are now on sale at all-time lows on Amazon (including the base model, which is now just $1,299). However, we're partial to the bumped-up version with 16GB of memory and 1TB of SSD storage: That extra RAM is necessary if you're going to be using it for multitasking and/or creative work. Normally $1,999, it's now just $1,699 — a 15% savings and an all-time low.
