Starting with the 8GB RAM/256GB SSD 15-inch M3 MacBook Air, you can get this model for $1,049.00 if you're a My Best Buy Plus/Total member, down from $1,299.00. The 8GB RAM/512GB SSD model is available for $1,249.00 for members, down from $1,499.00, while the 16GB RAM/512GB model is on sale for $1,449.00, down from $1,699.00.

Note: My Best Buy Plus/Total membership required to see deals.



It's worth noting that even if you have to pay the $49.99/year starting fee to join Best Buy's membership, today's MacBook Air deals are so steep you'll still come out paying around $1,099.99 for the entry-level model, which is a match for the typical best price on the computer. The same goes for the other two models as well.

Bless your heart, MacRumors. OWC must be giving you a cut if you're still pushing that Thunderbolt dock.

How did we even get to a world where "a dock/hub of ports" is almost $300?
it's not really. it's currently $99 and it seems even at that price they can't get rid of them

Even if you only bought the one product, you aren't any worse off than buying at amazon or somewhere else.
Oh but you are because next year you'll have forgotten that you bought the stupid membership and Best Buy will conveniently renew your membership automatically at the then prevailing rate.

This is a glass half empty take and is getting old. Membership at Best Buy is not required, their prices are competitive without it.

If the membership had no value, people wouldn't pay for it and they would stop offering it. It pays for itself after one purchase, that's better than most memberships and seems reasonable to me.
Sounds a lot like what they told me when I went to a timeshare sales pitch, TBH. Not interested. Each to their own.
