Last month, Apple bumped the default memory configuration from 8GB to 16GB for all the base Mac models, including its most affordable M2 MacBook Air (13-inch) that Apple continues to sell alongside the M3 models. Now, you can get that laptop on sale for as low as $799 at either Best Buy or Amazon. That comes with 16GB of memory and 256GB of storage, and even better, that’s just $200 off the MSRP when you purchase it from Apple.
The MacBook Air with M2 was introduced in June 2022, and it marked a significant design departure from the traditional wedge-shaped design as it adopted an even thinner, uniform design that’s built around Apple Silicon. This MacBook Air has a 13.6-inch Liquid Retina Display that supports up to 1 billion colors. It also features MagSafe 3, two Thunderbolt / USB 4 ports, and a headphone jack that supports high-impedence headphones. Its built-in Magic Keyboard, Force Touch trackpad, 1080p front camera, dual speakers, and support for one external monitor, makes this laptop more versatile than ever.
Even though this machine doesn’t feature the latest generation of Apple Silicon, it is still a remarkable value for those who are looking to get into the Mac ecosystem or are finally upgrading from their Intel-based Macs. So get this machine while you can as part of their Cyber Monday promotion.
