Although the M2 MacBook Air is more affordable than the M3, Apple’s new M3 MacBook Air is still a highly desirable model.

Even if Apple’s superior M3 MacBook Air is currently on sale, you shouldn’t discount the older M2 MacBook Air—especially not while it’s on sale. Despite its age, the M2 remains one of the greatest laptops available, thanks to its lightning-fast processor and lightweight, thin design that enable it to be used almost anywhere.

Save big on the M2 MacBook Air

An M2 MacBook Air is currently available for $849, $250 less than its original price and $150 less than Apple’s charges. 

Additionally, the M2 MacBook Air price matches the lowest we’ve seen at Amazon, and the savings are valid across the entire spectrum of stunning colours. 

As an alternative for the M2 MacBook Air, Best Buy will save you the same $150, while B&H Photo matches the $849 pricing (but only on the silver model).

Maximising workspace with the M2 MacBook Air

The 13.6-inch screen on the M2 MacBook Air is significantly larger than the 13.3-inch screen on the M1 model, which gives you more workspace, one of the device’s many beautiful features. 

Moreover, the M2 MacBook Air has a stunning liquid retina display with a resolution of 2,560×1,664, making it ideal for both creative work and movie watching. Despite its portability, the M2 Chip within is powerful enough for many creatives to accomplish their work.

Because it doesn’t have any internal fans, Apple can make the M2 MacBook Air as thin as the motherboard and batteries inside, contributing significantly to its smaller size. 

The machine’s 8GB RAM, as opposed to the 16GB that most comparable priced Windows laptops have, is one of its drawbacks. Though the M2 MacBook Air is wise enough to use unified RAM, it’s still something to consider, so it’s not the end of the world. 

The 256GB of storage is likewise a bit small, but if you need additional space, you can use an external hard drive or cloud storage.
