It would be a pretty strange Amazon Prime Day if Apple’s products weren’t involved in any capacity. Fortunately, they are, and they’ve got some enticing discounts on them. Using either M3 or M4 Silicon chips, these MacBooks provide exceptional performance in games and intense CPU tasks, and excel at power efficiency thanks to their Arm-based architecture.
Starting with the best discount of the bunch, the Apple MacBook Air 15-inch M3 is available for $1,299 (previously $1,699), saving you a huge $400. It comes with 24GB of unified memory, ensuring you get the best out of productivity and gaming. Battery life and portability are key, and the M3 helps this MacBook achieve that.
If you’re out for more power, the MacBook Pro (M4 Pro, 2024) is available for $2,249 (previously $2,499). It’s also available for £2,199.97 (previously £2,499) on Amazon in the UK; it’s equipped with a 14-core CPU and 20-core GPU and, of course, 24GB of unified memory.
This will push performance in heavy-duty tasks and gaming up a notch, and with Apple MetalFX Frame Interpolation for better gaming performance (essentially like Nvidia’s Frame Generation) on the way, it’s a good time to acquire a powerful system for it.

Having only used an Intel-powered MacBook, I’d say it’s about time that I looked into buying an M-based model – and fortunately, this is the best time to do so.
I’m not too concerned about gaming on MacBooks to be totally honest, so I wouldn’t look toward the M4 Pro-powered MacBook Pro. Instead, the MacBook Air 13-inch M4 model looks the most enticing; it adheres to portability with its 13-inch display size, and has 16GB of unified memory, enough for me to charge through tasks while working from home.
Most importantly, it’s the most affordable among all models mentioned above, so if you’re like me, someone who has never used Apple’s most recent systems, this would be the ideal option.
