Retailer Expercom is offering M3 MacBook Air configurations for as much as $500 less than comparable M4 models. The 15-inch with 16GB/512GB is listed at $999, a significant discount from its original $1,699 price. This creates a clear value gap for buyers who don't need the latest processor.

Alongside the Mac deals, official Apple Watch Ultra and Series bands are seeing discounts up to 30% off. Prices start from $31, with specific models like the Alpine Loop and Milanese Loop hitting new lows. These are first-party accessories, not third-party alternatives.

These discounts arrive as M4 Mac mini deals also persist, with models up to $110 off. For consumers, it's a classic trade-off: save hundreds on last year's still-capable hardware or pay a premium for the newest silicon. The market is clearing M3 inventory ahead of the M4's full price normalization.
