Apple M2 MacBook Air Hits Its All Time Low Price Again At Amazon

If you find yourself in need of a new laptop, we have good news—there are a whole bunch of models on sale right now (as is usually the case as of late), including an all-time low price for Apple’s M2 MacBook Air. Yes, it’s officially a last-gen product with the M3 roll out, but it’s still a powerful and efficient system. Not to fret, though, we also found some deals on M3 hardware too.

The answer is absolutely, depending on your needs. On one hand, this is 2024 and 8GB a paltry allotment, especially when factoring in the usable lifespan of a system. That’s something to consider if you plan on doing heavy lifting with your laptop, now or down the road. But on the other hand, if you’re looking for a general purpose system—web browsing, word processing, and basic productivity chores mostly—you’ll be just fine and can apply the money saved to apps, or put it towards a fund for a future upgrade. In fact, our resident Alan Velasco owns the 15-inch model with 8GB of RAM, and here’s what he had to say on the matter when we were discussing if 8GB is still enough on a Mac for basic computing.

“I currently daily drive a 15-inch M2 Macbook Air with 8GB of RAM. I have Firefox and the Brave browser open with 10-12 tabs each, Microsoft Word with whatever I’m writing, and Apple Music all open and running [simultaneously] fine. I’ve had it on for 3 weeks straight without restart and it’s running smooth. Screen is beautiful, keyboard and trackpad are great, Wi-Fi is plenty fast, and the camera and mics are great for videoconferencing stuff,” Velasco stated.

Internally, this Intel Evo Edition laptop hitches its wagon to Meteor Lake with a Core Ultra 7 155H processor (16C/22T, up to 4.8GHz, 24MB L3 cache). It also comes correct with 16GB of LPDDR5X-7467 RAM, a roomy 1TB PCIe 4.0 solid state drive (SSD), and a 75Whr battery that’s rated to deliver up to 15 hours of battery life.

This is a rather svelte system, too—it features an all-metal design with a thin 0.59-inch waistline, and is ultra-light at just 2.82 pounds.
