Have you been eyeing the MacBook Air for a while but haven’t had to chance to nab one yet? Maybe it’s a bit out of your price range. If that’s the case, you might want to check out Best Buy’s website today and tomorrow, January 25 and 26. Best Buy is offering the MacBook Air at $200 less than its usual price and will ship it to your doorstep for free. We rarely see any Apple products discounted, so this is one sale that’s not to be missed if you’ve been on the MacBook Air fence.

You can choose from the 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB units in 11- or 13-inch form factors, with prices starting at $799. Apple sells its MacBook Airs for at least $999 brand new and roughly $850 refurbished. The MacBook Air is Apple’s extremely thin and lightweight, and highly portable laptop that is equipped with a solid-state drive and a high-resolution display. It doesn’t have a ton of ports or an optical drive, but if you’re always on the go and would rather have a laptop rather than a tablet, it might suit your needs. 

It’s not just the MacBook Air that you can get at a discount during Best Buy’s Winter Doorbuster sale, though. You can also get Otterbox cases at 30 percent off, $70 off of a 15.6-inch Samsung laptop, and a $20 gift card free with a 16GB iPod nano, along with special prices for a bunch of TVs, the Nikon Coolpix S9050 digital camera, and the Motorola Droid Razr M

5 laptops you should buy instead of the M2 MacBook Air
The keyboard of the MacBook Air.

The M3 MacBook Air is the latest and greatest version of Apple's entry-level laptop, but it's not the cheapest version the company currently sells. The M2 MacBook Air is still being sold, and at a discounted starting price of $999. Even more enticing, you can usually find it for as low as $850 at online retailers.

That sounds like a good price, but there are lots of really great laptops that sell for even cheaper. Before pulling the trigger on a shiny new M2 MacBook Air, I recommend you consider one of the following five options instead, which are all cheaper.

Now that Apple has started outfitting its laptops with its M3 generation of chips, it's time to take another look at which is the best MacBook to buy in 2024. That’s not always easy, though, as buying the newest MacBook isn’t always the right decision. Apple has several tiers of performance, as well as various sizes, which can further complicate the matter.

What’s more, you can also still get M1 and M2 MacBooks, some from Apple’s own website and some from third-party retailers. But are they still worth your money? Our guide should help you decide.

Apple’s MacBooks are excellent content-consumption machines, but even the roomiest 16-inch MacBook Pro can’t compare to viewing your favorite shows on a large TV. Whether you’re watching a movie or playing one of the best Mac games, it’s much better to enjoy it on a spacious TV than on a constrained MacBook display.
