If you’re in the market for a MacBook, there are a few good deals running alongside Amazon’s October Prime Day sale to check out. The most affordable MacBook on the market right now—the 13-inch M1 MacBook Air—is available at a 30% discount, and there are good deals on the M2 MacBook Air and the M2 MacBook Pro as well.
The best MacBook deal day is the MacBook Air M1 with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage, which is available for $749.99, down from the list price of $999. This is a great deal for a reliable laptop with excellent battery life. That said, if you need at least 16GB of RAM or a higher storage, you might not want to jump on this deal, since you can’t expand those items in the future. However, for most people who will use this MacBook for basic tasks such as writing, browsing the web, and messaging, the base M1 MacBook Air is good enough.
If you want improved performance and a bigger display, consider the 15-inch M2 MacBook Air with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage, marked down to $1,049 from its usual list price of $1,299. Its smaller counterpart—the 13-inch M2 MacBook Air—is also available at $1,049.
