Wow this is actually a very good deal as I bought one a few months back and have no regrets but praise for the unit. It runs cool to the touch, the screen is beauriful, and the battery life is excellent!

Yep…. I’m not going to even look but I bet it’s 8GB memory model.

They only sell them to keep up appearances when they know no knowledge person is buying one especially a Pro model.l he se the sales only on these models.

I can live with the M2 at a discount, but not when it gets into the $1300 range with those specs.
 
Retailers really should push Apple to get rid of the undesirable configurations. Nobody is going to buy a new premium laptop with a 256gb SSD or 8GB of RAM.
The problem is people trust Apple telling them 8GB is plenty for their consumer use. When in reality, it’s not. The RAM is a far bigger problem than the SSD size. At least can connect an external SSD and be fine. Stuck with a non functioning MacBook when 8GB of RAM is no longer supported - maybe three years. It’s way too late for this whole thing.
 
One could say selling 256/8GB computers is a deliberate undermining of working towards a sustainable economy.

this is because of the heat apple is getting from tests disproving 8gb is adequate....

doesn't matter what storage size when you have 8gb RAM, I would be surprised if apple keeps an 8gb option in march.

Not necessarily. These kinds of discounts are not that unusual for Amazon. They have discounted the MacBook Air a number of times over the years, sometimes even more than $200. In November 2019, for example, they were offering $300 off (on sale for $799) the new/updated MacBook Air with True Tone display which had just been released a few months earlier.

Was that for Black Friday/Cyber Monday or a general sale? Right now this is just a general sale, hence my comment.

It was a BF/CM sale. A reason I had specifically mentioned that one was because it was an even greater discount ($300 off) than the current $200 off. However, my point was that Amazon has discounted the MacBook Air a number of times over the years (including $200 discounts like today) and has done so at various times of the year (i.e., "general sales", not necessarily just November/December holiday sales).

They need to raise it on all M3 models.
