My favourite MacBook is now $250/£100 cheaper in this Prime Big Deal Days offer
Apple's excellent MacBook Air with M2 processor can be yours for just £899/$749
If you’re looking for a new laptop, you’re probably weighing up performance against price. In the MacBook camp? The MacBook Air gets you a cheaper, lighter, and just as powerful machine. Over the past few months, you’ve been able to bag it for even less ($999) thanks to Apple releasing a newer model. And now, it’s down to an even lower price in this top deal.
Amazon UK will sell you a MacBook Air with M2 processor, 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage for £899 – that’s £100 less than the usual £999 asking price. At Amazon US, the same machine will set you back $749 – a $250 saving compared to the $999 retail price.
It’s my favourite MacBook release, and compares very well to the newer M3-powered version. That laptop is around 15% faster (and the only way you can get a 15-inch screen), but an M2’s power should be more than enough for the day-to-day jobs most MacBook Airs are tasked with.
While these machines have been discounted before, this seems to be about as low as you’ll pay for a factory fresh unit.
Apple’s lightest machine is known for its light and slim design, while packing plenty of power thanks to the M2 processor inside. The display is a Liquid Retina Display, which will show up to one billion colours. It can crank up to 500 nits of brightness, so you can view content in all lighting conditions.
Alongside the big display, you’ll find six dedicated speakers for superior sound. There are also two Thunderbolt ports, and MagSafe charging for top-level performance. On top of this, Apple reckons you’ll squeeze 18 hours of battery life out of the machine. Plus, it’s fanless, so shouldn’t hear a peep while tapping away. It scored an impressive five stars in our review, so you know the MacBook Air is a top choice.
