If you’re looking for Apple’s most portable and powerful laptop, look no further than the MacBook Air. Whether you want the classic M1 model or the redesigned M2, both are fantastic machines with powerful chips and long battery life, and both are on sale now: Amazon is selling the M1 MacBook Air for $800 and the M2 MacBook Air at $1,049, a savings of $200 and $150, respectively, and within a dollar of the best price we’ve seen for either model.
The M1 MacBook Air was updated in 2020 with Apple’s first M1 processor, but it’s still a fantastic machine with a great screen, keyboard and battery life. The M2 model received a complete overhaul earlier this year with a new chip, an updated screen and a MacBook Pro-inspired redesign.
We highly recommend any model and if you want to get it as a Christmas present, Amazon says it will arrive in time for you to put it under the tree.
