As a brief aside, the Apple Store's usual Black Friday gift card offer is now live through Dec. 2; M2 and M3 MacBooks come with free vouchers worth up to $200. That doesn't beat any of the dollars-off discounts available elsewhere, but it could be a practical option for those enmeshed in the Apple ecosystem.

The 2022 MacBook Air with the M2 chip is on sale for $749 just in time for Black Friday. This version even comes with 16GB of RAM.

At the core of the MacBook Air is Apple’s powerful M2 chip. This 2022 processor is engineered specifically for Macs and delivers impressive speed and efficiency. Whether you’re juggling multiple applications, editing videos or simply browsing the web, the M2 chip ensures great performance that can handle it all without breaking a sweat.
