The M3 MacBook Air is here and is now on sale from $999, you can even score a wild deal on the M1 model at $649 as part of Walmart’s big summer sale, but now it’s time to split the difference. Apple’s now previous-generation M2 iPad Air still delivers a ton of value, slated to receive macOS Sequoia this fall and compatibility with Apple Intelligence thereafter, and we are now tracking a particularly notable price on it. Best Buy has the 13-inch M2 MacBook Air in all four colorways down at $799 shipped. This is an originally $1,199 Apple laptop that now carries a regular price at $999. It is currently on sale for $899 at Amazon (although we might very well see a price match there at anytime) and is now $30 under the best price we have tracked at Amazon. It, as mentioned above, is also now $200 under the lowest price you’ll find on the new M3 model.
You’re looking at a more than capable MacBook Air here, one generation back in terms of Apple silicon (the M4 is, thus far, only available on the iPad Pro). While some folks must have the latest and greatest, today’s deal on the M2 delivers some serious value for a machine that will remain relevant and compatible with the latest OS releases well into the future. It too is ready to support Apple Intelligence features when the time comes.
The model on sale here today delivers 8GB of RAM and a 256GB storage capacity alongside a Liquid Retina Display and P3 wide color support. It also features a 1080p FaceTime cam, Spatial Audio-enabled speakers, and the wonderful MagSafe charger connection.
