That record low price, which was the best we saw over Prime Day, is the first reason I think this is one of the best laptop deals of the summer so far. The next is that the laptop itself is one of Creative Bloq's favourites. We love it, and gave it a near-perfect 4.5 stars out of 5 when we reviewed it. We also think it's the absolute best choice if you're looking for a laptop specifically for using Photoshop.
The third reason that this is an unmissable deal is that although the M3-chipped Air is out, it was only a small jump in performance, but you'll still need to fork out $1,099 for it. So the M2 Air represents the best value for money of all the current Airs.
Overview: This is a record-low price on what remains a fantastic lightweight but powerful laptop. The M2 MacBook Air has a more modern feel than its predecessor, and somehow it's even lighter while having a bigger, brighter screen. The M2 chip offers a boost in power over the 2020 M1 model and the battery life is excellent.
Price history: The previous cheapest price we had seen on this MacBook Air was $899 during Black Friday in November 2023. Apple's own retail price is now $999 (down from $1,099). It's worth considering that the previous 2020 M1 MacBook Air didn't fall bellow $749.99 even three years after its release, so I think the current deal price will be hard to beat this year (at least until Black Friday 2024).
Review consensus: We gave this MacBook Air a 4.5-star review when we tested it, and found it had excellent performance and battery life. Our only real gripe was the price hike from the previous model, but this deal resolves that issue. Considering that the newer M3 model provides only a marginal boost in performance, we think this is the best buy for a MacBook Air today.
