If you’ve always wanted to get a MacBook but found them to be too expensive, then you’ll love this Black Friday deal. Best Buy is selling the fantastic M2 MacBook Air for only $649 right now, an incredible savings of $350 on the original MSRP and $150 off its usual price, and the cheapest you’re going to find any model with Apple’s latest design.
This is Apple’s everyday laptop that’s perfect for just about every situation: Internet browsing, YouTube-watching, movie streaming combo, but it’s also great if you want to use it for work, allowing you to juggle plenty of apps at once. The M2 chip is a couple of generations behind the current chip, but it’s plenty powerful, while the 16GB of RAM is more than enough to run Apple Intelligence and multitask. It only has 256GB of storage space on board, so you should probably look into getting a portable SSD to supplement that storage since Apple upgrades continue to be fairly expensive.
When we reviewed the M2 MacBook Air, we gave it a near-perfect score of 4.5 stars and our Editors’ Choice award, as we praised the design, gorgeous display, and killer battery life, on top of the laptop’s outstanding performance. Our opinion hasn’t changed, and neither has the design or display—it’s practically identical to the current model.
For $649, the MacBook Air is a bit of an impulse buy, if we’re being honest, and we love this for this Black Friday season.
That’s only $649 for a MacBook!
