Macbook Air (2018) Review

The Christmas shopping season might be over for most, but some of the best deals on the most popular Apple products from 2018 have just started. Currently, as part of its Mega DealZone event, B&H is cutting up to $200 off the price of the MacBook Air and $500 off certain MacBook Pro models through December 28.

Following a round of similar deals from last week, the most interesting discount in this limited time sale happens to be on the 2018 MacBook Air. You can now grab multiple colors and variants of the latest MacBook Air for up to $200 off. The deal slashes the price of the model with 8GB RAM and a 128GB SSD down from $1,200 to $1,000. If you’re after more storage and multitasking power, B&H’s sale also covers 2018 MacBook Airs with 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD, or 16GB RAM and a 512GB SSD. That discount brings those prices down to $1,200, and $1,600, respectively.

As for the 2018 MacBook Pros, B&H is cutting prices off both the higher end 15-inch models and the basic 13-inch versions with the Touch Bar. Now $400 cheaper, you can grab a 13-inch space gray MacBook Pro with Touch Bar for $1,700, coming configured with a 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5 quad-core processor, 8GB of RAM, and a spacious 512GB SSD. For those with deeper pockets, the most powerful of the 15 inch MacBook Pro variants is now $500 off at $3,400. That model comes configured with a 2.9 GHz Intel Core i9 six-core processor, 32GB of RAM, the AMD Radeon Pro 560X GPU, and a 1TB SSD.

Elsewhere at B&H, the Mega DealZone event is cutting the price of the newest Mac Mini by up to $150. You can now get the Mac Mini with 3.6 GHz Intel Core i3 quad-core processor, 8GB of RAM, and 128GB SSD for $700, instead of $800. The more powerful Intel Core i5 six-core variant with 16GB RAM and 256GB SSD is discounted, too, now going for $1,150 instead of $1,300.

Several of the MacBook Air 2017 models, as well as older MacBook Pro models, are also being discounted as part of this event, but the 2018 Apple laptops are a better deal for their newer Intel processors and longer battery life. In our review of the new Mac Mini, we found that it offers all the desktop you need with its excellent processor performance. And with the 2018 MacBook Air, we liked its beautiful, thin, and light design, and excellent build quality.

If you buy one MacBook Air alternative, make it this one
The MacBook Air on a white table.

I see you. You're considering a flashy new MacBook Air -- perhaps one of the new M3 models or even the cheaper M2 configurations. I'm not going to sit here and pretend like that isn't a wise option to consider for your next laptop. These are excellent laptops, and that M2 model in particular is a solid value at a starting price of $999.

But let me make an appeal to you about a laptop that upends the value proposition of the MacBook Air in a number of ways. The laptop I'm talking about is the Asus Zenbook 14 OLED (Q425MA). This is a laptop we reviewed earlier this year, but it continues to be the king of value. No other laptop you can buy right now offers this much bang for your buck -- the MacBook Air included.

The biggest threat to the MacBook this year might come from Apple itself

MacBooks have held a dominant position in the laptop world for the past few years. Though there have been meaningful rivals from the Windows side of the aisle, the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro still feel like they hold an unshakeable lead at the moment.

But according to the latest reports, the most serious challenger to the MacBook's reign won't come from Windows -- it'll come from within Apple in the form of some very advanced new iPads.

The case for buying the M2 MacBook Air over the M3 model
The screen of the MacBook Air M2.

Apple's MacBook Air M2 recently stood at the top of our list of best laptops, and for good reason. It's incredibly well-built, exuding an elegance that few laptops can match. It's also plenty fast for productivity users, and its GPU is optimized for creators. Its keyboard, touchpad, and display are all top-notch.

Enter the MacBook Air M3, which (hint) took over the MacBook Air's place on that list. The upgraded chipset offers even faster performance, particularly in GPU-intensive apps, and the M3 model supports an additional external display (with the display closed). It's $100 more, but is that uptick in price justified? Let's dig in.
