Apple's MacBook Air M2 is $100 off right now

<p>Apple's MacBook Air M2 blends performance, battery life and a tiny size perhaps better than any previous model, but it's also more expensive. If you've been waiting for a deal, now is a good time to act: The silver 256GB model is <a data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Amazon;elmt:amazon;pdid:on sale at Amazon for $1,099;" href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B3CDZLTB/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=dealpost2022-20&amp;language=en_US&amp;uuid=Axvi771ssOrGr0jy1424&amp;th=1">on sale at Amazon for $1,099[/url], or $100 off the regular price — matching a deal (https://www.engadget.com/apples-m2-powered-macbook-air-is-100-off-at-amazon-123628810.html) we saw last month.&nbsp;</p><a class="athena-button" href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B3CDZLTB/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=dealpost2022-20&amp;language=en_US&amp;uuid=Axvi771ssOrGr0jy1424&amp;th=1" id="659c7081f3ab4b9c88f6709b160fc8c8" data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Amazon;elmt:amazon;pdid:MacBook Air M2">Buy MacBook Air M2 (256GB) at Amazon - $1,100[/url]<p>The MacBook Air hit one of the best Engadget review scores (https://www.engadget.com/macbook-air-m2-review-2022-130040098.html) ever for good reason. Apple went to a uniformly thin design with the MacBook Air M2, finally shedding the wedge shape that's existed since Steve Jobs pulled one out of an envelope (https://youtu.be/OIV6peKMj9M?t=219) back in 2008 (https://www.engadget.com/2008-01-17-airmail-the-manila-folder-macbook-air-sleeve-gets-real.html). That makes it more balanced, but also  thinner and lighter than ever at 11.3 millimeters and 2.7 pounds — less than an iPad Pro with its Smart Keyboard.&nbsp;</p><span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><p>Apple also managed to slightly increase the size of the 2,560 x 1,664 Liquid Retina screen to 13.6 inches by shrinking the size of the bezels, while nestling the webcam in a (slightly controversial) screen notch up top. It comes with improved speakers and a MagSafe power adapter, along with a pair of USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 ports with support for charging, displays, and data transfers up to 40Gb/s.</p><figure><img src="https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2022-09/86b7f740-35a6-11ed-be5f-40fa38ac327b" style="height:1224;width:2000;" alt="Apple's MacBook Air M2 is $100 off right now" data-uuid="c02b5e59-df13-3467-bca2-28333ce45cfb"><figcaption></figcaption><div class="photo-credit">Engadget</div></figure><p>The M2 processor significantly boosts performance over the Air M1, running nearly as quickly as the 13-inch MacBook Pro M2. It starts rapidly, loads apps quickly and offers snappy performance across the board. And you won't need to sweat if you're far from a power outlet, as it lasted up 16.5 hours in our testing — enough for a plane trip from LA to Sydney.&nbsp;</p><p>Follow @EngadgetDeals (https://twitter.com/EngadgetDeals) on Twitter and subscribe to the Engadget Deals newsletter (https://subscription.yahoo.net/Newsletter/Preference/sub?b=engadgetdeals&amp;src) for the latest tech deals and buying advice.</p>
