The entry-level Apple MacBook Air 13-inch with an M2 SoC, 8 GB of RAM, and 256 GB of storage has now reached a new record-low price on Amazon. The price cut brings a $299 discount over the machine's usual MSRP of $999.

More than two years after its initial release, the 13-inch Apple MacBook Air M2 remains a solid laptop for everyday use. The laptop features almost everything that one might want from a modern notebook. This includes a high-quality chassis, pleasant inputs, fast performance, and a color-accurate display. As expected from a MacBook, the MacBook Air M2 also enjoys excellent battery life.

So, for folks who need a no-nonsense everyday machine, the MacBook Air M2 13-inch makes perfect sense, especially now that you can find it for much cheaper. The latest price cut has taken the entry-level MacBook Air M2 to a new all-time low of just $700 on Amazon. The total discount of $299 is achieved by applying a coupon code from the product page.

Apple MacBook Air M2 makes for a good daily driver

In our initial review of the MacBook Air M2 13-inch, we rated the laptop a “Very good” 92%. This high rating was mainly due to the laptop’s robust construction, good display, no system noise, solid performance, and long battery life.

Two years later, the 13-inch 2,560x1,664 resolution panel still holds up quite well, as it boasts 100% DCI-P3, a 1,400:1 contrast, 480 nits of average brightness, and good out-of-the-box calibration. So, whether it is work or a Netflix session, the panel on the MacBook Air M2 will not disappoint.

When it comes to performance, the Apple M2 SoC, while not a beast, is more than capable enough to handle day-to-day tasks. The performance is complemented by completely silent operation, since the MacBook Air lacks any active cooling.

Finally, the MacBook Air M2 also rocks a long endurance, as the notebook lasted for a noteworthy 15 hours in our Wi-Fi websurfing test.
