My favourite MacBook is now $100 cheaper

The spanking new 15-inch MacBook Air with the M2 processor can be yours for just $999 with this deal – a fantastic saving.

Apple MacBook Air M2 review

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. And right now, you can bag it for even less thanks to Apple releasing a newer model.

You can score the 13-inch MacBook Air with the M2 processor for $999. That’s a $100 saving from the launch price of $1099. That gets you one of the model with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. It’s my favourite MacBook release from 2023, and one of the latest models you can buy. The newer M3 models are around 15% faster (and the only way you can get a 15-inch device), but the power from M2 should be more than enough for the day-to-day.

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.
