They do not offer college discounts, they said they’d price match apple but you would have to pay full price first. If I were you I’d go through apple for the college discount it’s only a $100 difference but it’s better than nothing.

MacBook Air 15-inch
The MacBook Air with the M3 chip is, in my opinion, one of the best purchases a college student can make. Apple has really nailed the balance between performance, portability, and overall ease of use. Performance The M3 chip makes everything feel incredibly fast and seamless. Whether I’m browsing the web with multiple tabs open, writing papers, or editing videos for a project, the MacBook Air handles it all without any hiccups. Apps launch instantly, and multitasking feels smooth no matter how many things I have running in the background. Design and Portability One of the standout features for me is how thin and lightweight it is. It easily fits into my backpack, and I barely notice it’s there. The sleek design just feels premium, and the Liquid Retina display is stunning to look at – perfect for both work and entertainment. Battery Life The battery life is honestly a game changer. I can go the whole day attending lectures, working on assignments, and streaming music without needing to plug it in. For a busy college student constantly on the go, this reliability is invaluable. User Experience What I appreciate most is how intuitive and simple macOS is. Even if you’re not super tech-savvy, everything feels clean and easy to navigate. I think a lot of students would love how stress-free it is to use – it just works. Overall I’d highly recommend the M3 MacBook Air to any student. It’s a powerful yet lightweight device that makes studying, creating, and relaxing easier. If you’re in the market for a laptop that will last you through college and beyond, this is absolutely worth the investment.

Lighting fast speeds!!!
Im currently a CS student and my needs vary from assignment to assignment. I usually need 30 tabs plus to complete some projects and I thought 8gbs of RAM was not going to cut it. I stand corrected as the M3 silicon chip is the quickest and optimized pipeline processor I have seen at this price point. The battery life lasts all day on a single charge and the weight of the this laptop makes it easy for travel and work. In my opinion if you need something more powerful than this laptop youre better off buying a desktop and using this laptop to virtual machine to it because this MBA 3 is extremely capable!

Great for College and Beyond
I bought my 15-inch MacBook Air M3 in Starlight from Best Buy back in august, and it’s already the perfect laptop for college. The M3 chip makes everything feel smooth and fast, from juggling research tabs and video calls to editing presentations. The 15-inch display offers plenty of room for multitasking, and the battery life is impressive because I can use it all day without charging it. Plus, the slim, stylish design slips right into my bag, and Touch ID makes logging in and buying textbooks online hassle-free. Best Buy’s staff was helpful and made the entire purchase experience smooth. Overall, I definitely would recommend the Macbook Air M3 15 inch for any college student who needs a laptop!
