Shoppers should note that this is the older version of the 13-inch M2 MacBook Air with 8GB of RAM. This week, Apple updated the entire MacBook Air lineup and it now starts with 16GB of RAM. We haven't yet tracked discounts on the 16GB models, but today's discount is still a great deal if you think 8GB of RAM is enough for your needs.

Why don’t we ever gets these levels of discounts in the UK? I get the price difference based on exchange rates, sales tax, size of market. But we’re lucky ever to see more than £50 off an Apple device, and then it is fairly rare.

Not a bad price for what you get, but not an amazing sale either. IMO, M1 models should be 499 and M2 models should be 599 now that Apple has officially nixed 8GB models from their own sales. They're still very capable machines for consumers at that price point, and they would move a ton of inventory to demographics they don't typically attract, which helps get people in their ecosystem long-term (i.e. their fastest growing profit centers).

I was in the same boat in 2020 and upgrading from my beloved 2015 rMBP 13 with 8GB RAM and bought an early-2020 MBP 13 with 16GB RAM. Despite a five year difference, performance and battery life of the 2020 model didn't feel significant over my 2015 MBP. I was pretty disappointed at the "upgrade" but kept it. I had no idea M1 was going to drop in November. I grew to despise my 2020 Intel MBP and took the hit and traded it in towards an M1 MBA with 16GB and no regrets. Apple Silicon was a huge leap in performance and battery life, plus the fanless M1 Air was so much quieter than the 2020 Intel MBP.
At this point it's basically unusable. I had the same experience with the "iPad don't call it 3" that was replaced in almost exactly the same time frame by the iPad 4 which they continued to sell for four years.

But by now I've learned to read the tea leaves well enough. And I doubt another major leap like that is coming any time soon.
