It’s early August and that means the back-to-school season<\/a> is closing in on us fast. For those looking to invest in a new laptop for the upcoming semester, Amazon has a sale<\/a> on the latest 15-inch MacBook Air that brings many models down to their lowest price yet. At the time of writing this, every color of the 256GB MacBook Air M2<\/a> is $200 off and down to $1,099, and the 512GB model in starlight<\/a> is also $200 off and down to $1,299. Regardless of the size you get, the Air M2 is one of our favorite laptops<\/a> at the moment, and it’s even better when you can grab it on sale like this.<\/p>\n

The 15-inch MacBook Air<\/a> takes everything we loved about the 13-inch model and make it just a little bit bigger. Like it’s smaller sibling, the 15-inch laptop has impressive performance thanks to Apple’s M2 chipset, a comfortable keyboard and trackpad and a battery life that exceeded the 18 hours that the company promised in our video playback testing.<\/p>\n

The bigger screen has a 2,880 x 1,864 resolution, but it shares the same pixels per inch (224) as that of the 13-inch version. Although it’s not a mini LED display like you’ll find on the MacBook Pros, it’s still a lovely Liquid Retina panel with 500 nits of brightness and a 60Hz refresh rate. The extra screen space will definitely come in handy in a lot of different workflows, and since the 15-inch MacBook Air is nearly as thin and light as the 13-inch model, it’s remains quite portable.<\/p>\n

The biggest gripe with the 15-inch Air that we should call out, especially now, is that Apple’s M2 chipset is one year old at this point and there’s a possibility that we see new, M3-powered Macs<\/a> debut this fall. This time of year, it’s worth waiting to pick up a Mac<\/a> if you absolutely must have the latest and greatest. However, it’s likely that Apple will not retire the M2 MacBooks even if it launches M3 machines in the fall; the company currently sells the M1 MacBook Air<\/a> alongside the M2 laptops, so we expect the M2 machines to stick around for a while even after the latest devices come out.<\/p>\n
