Apple's 15-inch MacBook Air M2 falls to a new low of $999

If you've been holding out on buying a new MacBook, congrats, your delay has been rewarded. Apple's 15-inch MacBook Air has dropped to a new all-time low price of $999, down from $1,299. That's right, the 23 percent discount saves you $300, far from chump change. The deal is available for the 256GB 15-inch MacBook Air with an M2 chipset in either Midnight or Starlight. Keep in mind, though, that Amazon estimates these will ship in early to mid-January, so don't plan on picking one up as a last-minute Christmas gift

Apple's 15-inch MacBook Air with an M2 chip came on the scene in June of this year. It garnered a 96 in our review thanks to its ability to offer a large size and great performance without mirroring the Pro's exorbitant $2,000+ price tag. Despite being over a year old, the M2 chip functions great — in line with the 13-inch model. The battery life is also impressive, lasting over 18 hours on video playback alone and 12 hours during everyday use for work.

Its screen is also high-quality, with the extra two inches making a surprisingly significant difference. The 15.3-inch Liquid Retina display has a 2,880 x 1,864 resolution, 500 nits of brightness, a 60Hz refresh rate and support for the P3 wide color gamut. No, it doesn't measure up to the 14-inch or 16-inch MacBook Pro with an M3 chip in terms of display or performance quality, but it's hard to care that much for half the price.
