Did you miss out on Black Friday and find yourself feeling a bit of FOMO today? Well, there’s great news for you: Amazon is still rolling out record-low prices on nearly the entire Apple lineup (with the exception of iPads which are out of stock). This means that MacBook Air models are still available at massive discounts whether you’re looking for the version with the M2 chip or the newer M3 chip.
The 2022 MacBook Air laptop with M2 chip and 256GB storage is currently on sale at Amazon for $749, down from its original price of $999, which is a substantial 25% discount.
The 2024 MacBook Air M3 13″ with 256GB storage is also on sale post-Black Friday: Priced at $844 down from $1,099, it’s still $100 more than the M2 version (but it’s a record low price) so the choice is yours. This 2024 model features the newer M3 chip and improved performance that might not be immediately noticeable to the average user. But if you’re looking for the latest version, it’s a great deal too.
Why Choose The M2 Model?
The MacBook Air M2 boasts a great 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display with vibrant colors and sharp details. With a resolution of 2560-by-1664 pixels at 224 pixels per inch, this screen supports up to 1 billion colors so that everything from photos to videos looks incredibly lifelike. The display also features True Tone technology, which automatically adjusts the white balance to match the color temperature of your surroundings, providing a more natural viewing experience.
Under the hood, the M2 chip is a powerhouse of performance (and the M3 does even better): It features an 8-core CPU with 4 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores for seamless multitasking and smooth operation. The GPU delivers impressive graphics performance and makes this MacBook Air suitable for tasks ranging from photo editing to casual gaming.
The MacBook Air M2 doesn’t skimp on connectivity options: It features two Thunderbolt / USB 4 ports for charging, DisplayPort, Thunderbolt 3 and USB 3.1 Gen 2. There’s also a MagSafe 3 charging port and a 3.5 mm headphone jack. In terms of wireless connectivity, it supports Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3 for fast and stable connections.
For those who frequently engage in video calls, the MacBook Air M2 comes equipped with a 1080p FaceTime HD camera. This is a good upgrade from the previous 720p camera and it offers clearer and more detailed video quality. The camera works in tandem with an advanced image signal processor with computational video for a better image quality.
Battery life is another strong point of the MacBook Air M2 : Apple claims up to 18 hours of movie playback and up to 15 hours of wireless web browsing.
