Starting with the 256GB 13-inch M2 MacBook Air, you can get this model for $749.00 in three colors, down from $999.00. For more storage, Amazon has the 512GB model of the same computer for $949.00, down from $1,199.00.

13-inch M2 MacBook Air (256GB) for $749.00 ($250 OFF)​

Although Apple updated the MacBook Air back in March, it kept these 13-inch M2 models around as a low-cost option for customers. This means that the M2 MacBook Air should be perfect for anyone who doesn't care about owning newest generation notebook, but would rather save money while still getting a reliable computer.

Nothing about these seem like "great deals" to me

Getting down to where they honestly should be priced at this time and for these specs

Until there's a sale on the models with 16GB of RAM, there's no sale, it's just clearing out stock no one should buy.

M4 cometh.

Not a good deal at all. 8gb ram? Please.

I’m not sure if saying something just dropped to a record low price, if it’s been that price for many, many months.

Yes, technically the price continues to reach record lows each week by matching the previous week’s low, creating a consistent pattern of hitting the same record low repeatedly. That’s the way of MacRumors… it’s a living!

A good deal for late adopters. Is the best strategy for Apple Silicon to wait a year or two after release?

I always looked at macbook pro prices, but Macbook Air with 16GB Ram for $1300 is a pretty nice price

Of course - two year old tech, two years less updates.

I get what you're saying but we're pricing some PC laptops for our granddaughter's birthday and the performance/cooling to price profile of this Apple device leaves us hard pressed to find a comparable PC for $750.00 U.S.

My biggest gripe is the 256GB SSD speed as Apple fixed that issue with the M3 256GB SSD. The M3 model is on sale at Best Buy at $899 which is $50 more than its prior lowest price. The issue there is that with the M4 MBA not slated to arrive until 2025, the M3 MBA needs to be cheaper, but won’t be at least until Black Friday deals start showing up. I know most people won’t notice the slower SSD in the M2, but no ray tracing, no dual display mode, no WiFi 6E and no better anodization process make it hard to recommend the M2 unless price is the absolute most important consideration.

Though now it is over two years old, it is a good discount for a very capable MacBook.
