Save $300 on Apple’s 15-inch M2 MacBook Air at $999 all-time low

Best Buy is now offering Apple’s 15-inch M2 MacBook Air for $999 shipped. If you’re not swayed by the newer M3 models, today’s offer is worth a closer look at $300 off the usual $1,299 price tag. This is a match of the all-time low for one of the first times and the lowest in over a month. We offer a taste of what to expect in our hands-on coverage, which is only made better by the savings today. Below the fold, we offer some extra insight on the offer, too.

This may be Apple’s previous-generation MacBook Air, but it still offers many of the same features – just for less. The biggest difference is the M2 chip, but otherwise you’re still looking at a 15-inch Liquid Retina display with 500 nits of brightness, P3 wide color, and the new aspect ratio, not to mention the same compact form-factor that comes in one of four colors. There’s 18 hours of battery life on a single charge, too.

We also put together a helpful guide to solve the dilemma of which model you should get, too. Our coverage breaks down the differences between the M2 MacBook Air and its newer M3 model. There isn’t all too much different between the generations aside from the expected performance gains. But here are the highlights:

• Faster and more capable M3 chip
• Support for up to 2 external displays (with MacBook Air lid closed)
• Faster wireless connectivty with Wi-Fi 6E
• New 3-mic array with Voice Isolation and Wide Spectrum microphone modes,
  and Enhanced voice clarity in audio and video calls
• New Anodization seal for the midnight finish to reduce fingerprints
