The Apple M2 MacBook Air with 16GB of RAM is 25 percent off for Black Friday
Black Friday is finally here, even though the deals have been flowing for nearly a month at this point. Many of the best deals are ones we saw earlier this month, but that doesn’t make them any less enticing now. For instance, the M2 MacBook Air is available on Amazon for just $749. The regular price is $1,000, so this is a discount of 25 percent. This version even boasts 16GB of RAM, and it's just one of many Apple Black Friday deals available this year. This model easily made our list of the best MacBooks, even with the presence of the newer M3 MacBook Air. Here are the takeaways. This laptop, obviously, includes Apple’s proprietary M2 8-core CPU, which is more than fast enough for basic tasks and fine for even many advanced tasks, like music-making. We called it "Apple's near-perfect Mac" in our official review. This is not the bare-bones standard model, as it comes with 16GB of RAM. Most versions ship with 8GB of RAM. The multitasking bona-fides are strong with this one. The M2 MacBook Air also ships with a 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display with 500 nits of brightness and support for the P3 wide color gamut. It’s thin and light. It’s a MacBook Air. This thing weighs around 2.7 pounds. The battery life is solid, at around 18 hours of use per charge. The four-speaker sound system can get surprisingly loud, so headphones are not a requirement when watching random YouTube videos or listening to music. So what’s the downside? There isn’t one. Not really. This isn’t the M3 MacBook Air, so those looking for the latest and greatest model may be let down. The model does only ship with a 256GB solid state drive, but it’s easy enough to plug in an external.
