Apple has just introduced the MacBook Air M3, but this deal represents an awesome opportunity to snag the 15-inch MacBook Air M2 for a bargain price.
Amazon is offering an Apple MacBook Air 15-inch with M2 for just £1,099. That’s £300 off the £1,399 RRP for the 256GB model.
Save £300 on the Apple MacBook Air M2 15-inch
The MacBook Air M2 with a large 15-inch display can now be bought at a huge discount on Amazon following the launch of the M3 option.
The consensus around the M3 models thus far is that, although Apple is promising some decent processing power and graphical upgrades, there’s still plenty of value in the M2 models.
That’s borne out with this deal on the MacBook Air 15-inch M2, which brings the price down to easily the lowest recorded on Amazon for a laptop that only went on sale last summer. You can see how steep the drop off is in the Keepa graph, which keeps tabs on price histories, below. There are a selection of colours to choose from, including silver, space grey, starlight and midnight.
