As many of you already know by now, Apple’s has upgraded all current generation Macs to start with 16GB of RAM (finally). However, this also carried back to the now previous-generation M2 MacBook Air models as well. While we are indeed now tracking extra savings on the current M3 models with the 16GB RAM bump, a more than notable offer on the M2 MacBook Air with 16GB of RAM and the 256GB SSD is now live on the silver, Space Gray, and Midnight models at $799 shipped. Details below.
M2 MacBook Air with 16GB RAM boost deals:
- M2 MacBook Air 16GB/256GB Silver $799 (Reg. $999)
- M2 MacBook Air 16GB/256GB Space Gray $799 (Reg. $999)
- M2 MacBook Air 16GB/256GB Midnight $799 (Reg. $999)
To put these deals into better perspective, the old base model M2 with 8GB of RAM and a 256GB debuted at $1,099 and the 16GB model we are featuring here today carried a $1,199 list price before the official RAM bump – today’s deal is $400 under that price. The newer M3 model that starts with the same 16GB of RAM now carries a list price at $1,099 and is now on sale for the first time at $1,049.
An 16GB M2 MacBook Air we are featuring here today now carries a list price at $999 straight from Apple and is currently $200 off at Amazon to deliver one of the lowest prices we have ever tracked.
There’s no denying that this is the previous M2 model, but for more casual users who don’t need the latest and greatest, you can indeed score yourself a perfectly capable machine with enough enough RAM and an Apple chip that supports the upcoming Apple Intelligence suite as well as plenty of macOS upgrades for years to come.
