We may be well into the M3 generation of Mac laptops (and even M4 for iPad Pros), but if you’re on a budget the M2 MacBook Air is a great deal for $799 ($200 off) — available now at Best Buy and Amazon.
This is the base model of Apple’s laptop from 2022, which comes equipped with 8GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, two USB-C ports, a headphone jack, and a handy MagSafe charger. If 256GB is a little light on storage, the 512GB upgraded model is also on sale for $999 ($200 off) at Amazon and Best Buy.
A big part of what makes the MacBook Air so great is its excellent battery life and standby time. Combine that with its speedy performance and revised design from the M2 generation that adds MagSafe to free up one of its ports from charging duties and you’ve got an excellent all-rounder for productivity tasks (be it for work or school).
