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).

Net discount of $100 since Apple would have charged $200 for 16GB.

8 GB seems ridiculously underpowered now, but at $699 this is starting to enter "premium Chromebook" price levels... and a base-level M2 MacBook Air is definitely a better "cheap" on-the-go laptop than any Chromebook. :cool:
