My Favorite Amazon Deal of the Day: The M2 MacBook Air (With Upgraded RAM)


Apple's laptops tend to stand the test of time, especially since they switched to their M-line chips, as Lifehacker's Senior Tech Editor Jake Peterson explained in his piece about how well the M1 and M2 Apple chips are chugging along, years after they were first introduced.

The 13.6-inch M2 MacBook Air in particular, is a powerful machine that will meet the needs of most every casual user—especially with an upgrade to 16GB of RAM (to again cite Jake, it could be "the last laptop you'll ever buy.") And right now, that 16GB model is down to its lowest price yet, according to price-checking tools: $799 (originally $999) on Amazon.

All four of the colors (Space Grey," Midnight, Silver, and Starlight) are discounted, making it an easy pick for my favorite Amazon deal for today.

The 8GB M2 MacBook Air dropped to $999 in April, shortly after the new M3 laptops were released. It was a great value for your money at that price. Then, October Prime Day brought yet another hefty discount, dropping the machine to $749, where it's still hanging around in the run up to Black Friday. Throughout that time, though, the 16GB version hand't received any significant discounts. Now it has.

What do you think so far?

As impressive as the price for the 8GB M2 may seem, paying just $50 more for double the RAM is an outstanding value. (If you already have an M1, here are the difference between the M1 and M2, to help you decide if the upgrade is worth it for you. If you're comparing the M2 and the M3, you can see our full breakdown here.)
