No longer will Apple’s MacBook lineup be called expensive because Amazon has discounted both the M2 MacBook Air and M3 MacBook Air. The previous-generation portable Mac is available for $699 and ships with 8GB of unified RAM and 256GB of internal storage. This is the lowest price that we have seen for the M2 MacBook Air, making it exude exceptional value for those who do not mind picking up a machine that is outfitted with a previous-generation Apple Silicon.
However, this particular model is not for everyone, and even though the M2 MacBook Air supports Apple Intelligence right off the bat, those owning the 8GB RAM and 256GB storage version will quickly be complaining about the lack of memory from both ends and will be forced to either close up programs, free up space or both. Thankfully, the online retailer has also discounted the high-end versions of the M3 MacBook Air, with the 16GB RAM and 512GB storage version getting a flat $200 discount and can be yours for $1,299.
In terms of performance, the M2 and M3 are not too far off when it comes to compute capabilities, but Apple’s M3 is the first custom silicon from the company to have hardware-accelerated ray tracing, meaning that it can deliver better performance in a few games. When it comes to battery life, both of these MacBook Air models can give you double-digit endurance, making it one of the top reasons why you would want to own one of these.
Of course, it is important to note that these discounts will not last for long, so it is imperative to take advantage of these deals. For students, we highly recommend making the M2 MacBook Air your daily driver, and as for the M3 MacBook Air, you have more freedom with what you do with this product thanks to the upgraded RAM and storage.
