We may be about to get some brand new MacBooks, but if you love scoring a great deal, looking to the year-old models is never a bad idea.

As of Oct. 28, the same Monday that Apple's SVP of Marketing Greg Joswiak teased the start of "an exciting week of announcements," Amazon dropped the 13-inch M3 MacBook Air (8GB RAM, 256GB SSD) to $849.99, putting it just 99 cents away from its lowest price ever. You'll have to clip the on-page coupon, and the deal is only available on the space gray and midnight models, but you're also saving over 20% on a MacBook that dropped seven months ago.

Mashable recommends the M3 Air as the best MacBook for most people, because it comes in a lightweight frame, isn't quite as much of an investment as the Pro, but still gives you plenty of processing power for everyday tasks, like browsing the web, writing, and having upwards of 15 tabs open. The M3 Air in particular allows you to connect up to two external displays, as long as the laptop itself is closed, making it a solid option for a work-from-home machine.
