Amazon and Best Buy are discounting Apple's 13-inch M2 MacBook Air with 16GB of RAM and 256GB SSD storage down to $749.00 in a few colors. This is a $250 discount on the previous generation M2 MacBook Air, and a solid second-best price.

Amazon currently has this deal available only in Silver, while Best Buy has the computer at this price in Silver, Space Gray, Midnight, and Starlight. Each discount has been applied automatically and does not require any coupon codes or memberships in order to see the final deal price.



Although this is a previous generation device, it will work great for anyone who doesn't need the performance gains introduced with the newer Apple silicon chips, especially at this discounted price. Apple just announced the new M4 MacBook Air, and anyone shopping for those models can get up to $60 off a few configurations on Amazon.

These M2 16/256 13" MBAs are available for CA$899 / US$629 brand new in Canada from Costco.ca. (English keyboard sold out now, but French keyboard still available.) However, I'm waiting for the Back-To-School sale to get the M4 via the Education Store. It's CA$1249 edu, with hopefully a $200 gift card. If so, that would be CA$1049 / US$733 for the M4 MBA 16/256.

I haven't decided yet though if I'll get the 256 or 512 GB. It's for my wife and she's used roughly only half of her 256 GB storage, but we also tend to keep these Macs for a very, very long time. One of the main storage issues I've noticed is she tended to send large videos to people in Messages, and these would increase the Messages directory size pretty quickly, requiring me to empty it out of large files every so often, although I've recently trained her not to send 500+ MB video files through Messages. The other issue is sometimes macOS System Data gets bloated with unnecessarily large file directories. That's a problem with macOS since it shouldn't be doing that, but getting a larger SSD would mean not having to worry about that System Data junk so much.

Looks like a good deal, but I'd really like more than 16GB of unified memory and 256GB of storage.

For anyone who needs a 'laptop' to do email, web and photos - normal people stuff, this is a heck of a machine for the money. Unless compute needs change rapidly, this should last those sorts of users a decade or more.

As an added bonus it will run Sonoma and is therefore free of AI.

I have to admit it's tempting, but the M1 is still doing so well it's hard to justify. What would I do with the M1? To replace the stereo cabinet mini would require an external harddrive (which I have), an IR remote, power, and an HDMI output, so basically a dock.

Just a little too much complexity just to keep the functionality I have.
