Get the M2 MacBook Air for Just $649 During Best Buy's Black Friday Sale

[MacRumors]

Best Buy today is discounting the previous generation 13-inch M2 MacBook Air (256GB) to $649.00, down from $799.00. This sale is available in Starlight and Midnight, and Best Buy provides free two-day shipping or local pickup if your local Best Buy has stock.

Note: MacRumors is an affiliate partner with some of these vendors. When you click a link and make a purchase, we may receive a small payment, which helps us keep the site running.

The Silver option displays an even steeper discount, but we haven't seen this model in stock in weeks, so the current $150 discount offered for the other colors is your best bet. This is still a great low price on the M2 MacBook Air, which should be a perfect laptop for anyone looking to accomplish day-to-day tasks like checking email and streaming video.

I’d spend the extra $100 on Amazon for the M4 model at that point.

I can't imagine trying to manage on a 256gb laptop. On a phone? No problem, but a computer would be difficult.

I’ve had one of these since it was launched in late 2022 and am quite satisfied with it (I went for the biggest memory, 32 GB, and storage, 2TB, options to future proof it.)

But I don’t think this is a reasonable discount on a 3 year old processor with tiny storage.

I could easily manage everything except multimedia on a 256, and multimedia could easily be managed on an external drive.

A 13", 16/256, M4 is available at BestBuy for $749. I can't imagine saving $100 and losing two generations of chip.

the M4 at $749 is a much better deal especially if you have a best buy card, they are doing 24 months no interest ($31/month) - the m2 doesn't qualify for that.

It’s insane they even sell computers with that low of storage in 2025. Pretty sure my MacBook in 2005 had 512 at least.

100% agree. 1tb should be standard

 

[emulator]

I’d spend the extra $100 on Amazon for the M4 model at that point.

Exactly, even the M3 for a $100 less would be a bad idea to get at this point.

I can't imagine trying to manage on a 256gb laptop. On a phone? No problem, but a computer would be difficult.

Yeah, you don't need to, for that extra $200 you'd spend on a mere 256GB, you can go 2TB with a fast ssd and a small external case.

 

[MultiFinder17]

I was at my local Best Buy this afternoon to get a base M4 Air and saw that they had an open box M2 16GB/256GB for just under $600 and was mightily tempted.

I could easily manage everything except multimedia on a 256, and multimedia could easily be managed on an external drive.

External drives on a desktop are a no-brainer. On a notebook which you'd carry around, toss on park benches and keep on your lap -- not so much. Heck, even protruded pen drives could be a liability with some poor luck, in my experience.
