With the announcement of the 15-inch MacBook Air with M2, Apple did a little bit of adjustment to the pricing of the lineup.
Apple Slashes Price of 13-inch M2 MacBook Air by $100, Now Starts at Just $1,099 - M1 MacBook Air Still Selling for $999
Starting at $1,199, the M2 MacBook Air was a fairly good deal. But, the $999 M1 MacBook Air was an even nicer deal due to that $199 price difference. However, Apple made a change to the pricing of the lineup, making the M2 model worth getting.
Now, the 13-inch M2 MacBook Air starts at just $1,099 with the M2 15-inch MacBook Air starting at $1,299. The M1 MacBook Air still remains in the lineup with the starting price of $999.
The new price actually makes the 13-inch MacBook Air with M2 a far better deal compared to the M1 model. With a price difference of just $99, you're getting a far superior Mac in terms of pretty much everything - especially the display as it's brighter and falls more in line with the 13-inch M2 MacBook Pro with Touch Bar in terms of brightness. This is important for those who are planning to use this notebook in an outdoor setting more. Every single nit counts here.
If you can push your budget to the 15-inch MacBook Air, that's where things start to get spicy. You get a 10-core GPU instead of 8-core for the base model. You also get a higher resolution display - 2880x1864. And of course, you get a better speaker system. If you're into music, this is extremely important and the new 15-inch MacBook Air delivers.
For those who are on a very tight budget, the $999 MacBook Air with M1 still makes a lot of sense. It's the complete Mac experience but adding that $100 really does make things a lot better.
