Apple MacBook Air M2 (256GB):was £1,399now £1,249.97 at AmazonYou may want to hold out until Black Friday to pick up a pricey MacBook Air but this is the lowest price yet for the M2 model. This superb machine isn’tquiteas good value as its M1 predecessor but it’s a much more modern looking and slick machine. The bezels are thinner and the M2 chipset inside provides an impressive amount of power - enough that we’d happily recommend this one to all but the most demanding of professionals.
MacBook Air 13.6-inch, 8GB (M2):was £1,119 now£1,049 at John LewisApple’s latest 13.6-inch MacBook Air comes with a stylish redesign and boosted M2 processor. This model, with 8GB memory and 256GB SSD, gets a price cut, making it better value, and now just £60 more than what the older M1 model usually sells for.
MacBook Air (M1, 2020):was £999now£799 at AmazonThis is a great price for the previous generation MacBook Air M1 - although it is £50 away from the previous record-low. Even though there’s a newer M2 model available now, this is still a very powerful creative workstation that’ll suit most users. If you’ve had an eye on the device we called a ‘game-changer’ in ourMacBook Air M1 review, then now’s still a good time to buy as we don’t expect to see the cheapest ever price until this November for Black Friday
