The M2 MacBook Air is one of a million products on sale for Black Friday this year. If you’re interested in the best tech on sale today, see our best Black Friday tech deals page for a broader view of all the best discounts you can get right now. Prices are accurate as of the time of writing, but you can expect them to fluctuate and inventory to sell out, so you may not want to hesitate if you see a sale that grabs you.

Apple makes some of the best laptops for the general public, and the MacBook Air series has consistently been one of its most popular. The 16 GB RAM version of the M2 MacBook Air is on sale or $749 for Black Friday (originally $999) on Amazon, the lowest price it has been according to price-tracking tools. It’s available in space gray, midnight, silver, and starlight colors.

This 16GB RAM version had dropped to $799 earlier this month and was an incredible value back then. Now with its current Black Friday deal, it drops another $50, making it the same price as the 8GB RAM version (before its $50 on-page coupon). Even with that $50 discount, having twice the RAM is a better deal and will make your laptop last much longer. Just earlier this year in April, the cost to double your RAM to 16GB was $200. As Tech Editor Jake Peterson explains, this could be the last laptop you ever buy.

The M2 MacBook Air came out in 2022, and judging from how Apple still backs up the M1, you can expect many years of support for the M2. The M2 comes with a 13.6-inch screen with 2560 by 1664 resolution screen and a battery life of about 17 hours, according to CNET’s review.
