An upgraded Apple M2 13-inch 16GB MacBook Air is just $749 with this early Black Friday deal
If you’re looking for one of the best laptops on the market, Apple’s range should always be at the top of your shopping list. There’s no shortage of options for power users and road warriors alike, and the latest M3 MacBook Air is the best to ever bear the iconic name. However, the previous generation M2 MacBook Air is still a fantastic option for anyone looking for a budget-friendly upgrade. It’s fast, thin and light and it’s even better if you can get one at a discounted price too. That’s now the case thanks to Amazon’s early Black Friday deals, including one M2 13-inch MacBook Air for just $749 now. That would be a great price for the base model, but this laptop also features an upgrade to 16GB of RAM, double the standard 8GB.
This price is one of the lowest we’ve seen, but we can’t vouch for how long it will last. If you want to be absolutely sure that you get the best price available, we recommend that you place your order quickly.

One of the great things about the M2 MacBook Air is that it has a larger 13.6-inch screen than the 13.3-inch screen of its predecessor, giving you more space to work with. The beautiful Liquid Retina display has a resolution of 2,560 x 1,664 pixels, which is perfect for watching movies or doing creative work. The M2 chip is powerful enough for creatives to get their work done despite the portability of this machine.
The smaller size is due to the fact that it has no internal fans, meaning Apple can make it as thin as the motherboard and battery inside. The 256GB of storage may be a bit on the small side, but it’s more than enough for a lot of people, especially if you use the laptop for school or office tasks.
