Get the 13-Inch M2 MacBook Air for the Record Low Price of $699

by

Amazon and Best Buy are discounting Apple's 13-inch M2 MacBook Air with 16GB of RAM and 256GB SSD storage down to $699.00 in a few colors. This is a $300 discount on the previous generation M2 MacBook Air, and a new record low price for the computer.

Although this is a previous generation device, it will work great for anyone who doesn't need the performance gains introduced with the newer Apple silicon chips, especially at this discounted price. Apple just announced the new M4 MacBook Air, and anyone shopping for those models can get $50 off if you're a My Best Buy Plus/Total member.

Wow. Macs have never been this cheap for the customer. Or this profitable for Apple.
Switching to Apple Silicon was an epic win.

Doesn't meet my personal needs BUT I find it hard not to recommend this to the average user. I would recommend this to my family and friends.

256Gb is not enough for most people anymore on a computer. It's just sad.
I disagree. The 8GB was a much bigger issue than 256GB of storage. Unless they're storing all their photos on their computer 256GB is fine for most users. I think it should be 512GB though since it's so cheap.

Also 13” M3 Air for $799 and 15” M3 Air for $999. Those are pretty good deals too.
$999 for 15-inch M3 MacBook Air 16/256 from Amazon is not a good deal when you can get the same thing for $929 from Apple Refurb ('https://www.apple.com/shop/product/G1BT0LL/A/Refurbished-15-inch-MacBook-Air-Apple-M3-Chip-with-8%E2%80%91Core-CPU-and-10%E2%80%91Core-GPU-Starlight').

I suspect a 13-inch M3 MacBook Air 16/256 (none in stock at the moment) will be less than Amazon's $799 price too.

For $100 more than Amazon's M3 MacBook Air 16/256 prices, I'd take a new M4 MacBook Air 16/256 from Apple Education store.

It’s not good enough for me but it will do for my friends, family and the pet dog/cat. Their workload isn’t as demanding as mine (rebooting, scrolling menus and browsing macrumors in safari).

That's because the demand for them was so poor and they are now sitting on ton of inventory that needs to be unloaded.

Nothing perfect about the laptop. Ungainly design and a bad display that causes eye strain and headaches for many.
jesus, did a M2 air kill your dog or something? why all the hate? and why on earth do you keep comparing the cheapest iphone made prices/sales vs MBA prices/sales? 2 totally different things made totally differently ways (and numbers) for for totally different uses?

Exactly how many are they sitting on? How many is a "ton"? do you have some inside knowledge?

Who are these "many"? The color red causes eye strain and headaches for many.
