In addition to the ₹85,990 price tag, you can avail of further discounts. If you have a compatible credit card, such as an HDFC Bank credit card, you can get an instant discount of ₹5,000. Additionally, while paying via EMI, you can save ₹5,750. This brings the effective price down to ₹81,188 when paying in full (includes Flipkart’s handling charges and more).

For a price close to ₹81,000, the MacBook Air M3 offers great value for money.

Is 8GB RAM enough for the MacBook Air M3?

For those unaware, Apple recently updated the MacBook Air M3 lineup to start with 16GB of RAM. This means if you purchase the MacBook Air directly from Apple, you’ll only get the 16GB RAM variant, and the pricing has remained unchanged. This might make you think the 8GB RAM model, likely manufactured before this change, is obsolete. However, that’s not the case.

If you don’t plan to perform heavy tasks like multi-layered 4K video editing, the 8GB RAM variant will suffice. Even for lighter 4K video editing, Photoshop, or Lightroom tasks, it’s perfectly capable, as long as you don’t go too in-depth.

Additionally, if you’re looking for a laptop for basic tasks like web browsing, working on spreadsheets, and enjoying long-lasting battery life, the MacBook Air M3 with 8GB of RAM is an excellent choice. It offers premium build quality and great after-sales support, making it a reliable and long-lasting option at this price point.
