Why you should buy the 13.6-inch Apple MacBook Air M2

Even with the release of the Apple MacBook Air M3 series, the Apple MacBook Air M2 remains on our list of the best MacBooks as “the MacBook for everyone.” Its lowered price, which is even cheaper with this offer from Best Buy, places it within reach for more people, with performance that will prove to be enough for most. This model has the excellent M2 chip combined with an eight-core CPU, a 10-core GPU, and 8GB of RAM. It also has a 256GB SSD, for ample storage space for all of your apps and files.

The 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display of the Apple MacBook Air M2 is simply beautiful, with vibrant colors and sharp details, and it’s small enough to maintain the laptop’s portability. The efficiency of the M2 chip not only allows the device to go fanless — so it’s completely silent while you’re using it — but it also enables a battery life of up to 18 hours, making it a reliable companion for your daily workload.

Best Buy’s offer for the 13.6-inch Apple MacBook Air M2 was the #1 trending deal on its website, and it’s easy to see why — it’s one of the most attractive Labor Day laptop deals across all retailers, with a $200 discount dropping the device’s price from $999 to just $799. We’re frankly surprised that the stocks that were up for sale during the holiday didn’t sell out, but we think that’s bound to happen at any moment. If you want to get the 13.6-inch Apple MacBook Air M2 for cheaper than usual, complete this transaction now as tomorrow may already be too late.

Subvocal’s glasses promise to let you talk to your computer in complete silence
Voice dictation is incredibly convenient, but talking to your computer in public can be embarrassing. Subvocal thinks it has a solution.
Subvocal smart glasses use radar to track your mouth movement and convert it to text using AI

Typing has always been a bottleneck between what we think and how quickly we can communicate it to a computer. AI-powered dictation tools like Wispr Flow have made things considerably better. You can practically ramble your way through an entire email, or even an article, and have it transcribed into text in seconds.

But there's a rather awkward problem with talking to your computer. Try doing it in a quiet office, a library, or even your favorite cafe, and more often than not, you tend to attract some attention or end up disturbing others. A startup called The Subvocal Company thinks it has found a solution to this issue. It has developed a pair of smart glasses that promise to turn silent mouth movements into text at over 200 words per minute.
