M2 MacBook is perfect for college students

The 13-inch MacBook Air‘s slim and lightweight design makes it easy to carry around every day. This is backed by solid all-day battery life, so you can use the machine without worrying about running out of juice. Apple claims the M2 MacBook Air delivers a claimed 10 hours of battery life.

Don’t worry about running into performance hiccups. The M2 chip is a powerful beast that can easily handle browsing, note-taking, and light photo/video sessions. Apple claims the M2 chip is 18% faster than M1.

Even better, the fanless design of the MacBook Air means it will never get loud or too hot to use on your lap.

Get $150 off on the M2 MacBook Air

Apple reduced the price of the 13-inch MacBook Air by $100 to $1,099 after the introduction of the 15-inch MacBook Air.

If you are a student on a tight budget, you may still find this price steep. Best Buy is taking some load off your wallet by slashing the 13-inch Air’s price to $949 — a sweet $150 off its MSRP.

You can score a similar $150 off on the 512GB variant of the machine, which brings its price down to $1,249. Besides the additional storage, this configuration ships with a faster 10-core M2 chip, delivering slightly better performance.

Best Buy is bundling three months of Apple TV+ and iCloud+ subscriptions with the laptop to sweeten the deal further. But this offer is only applicable for new users. New and returning users will also get a free Apple Music subscription for four months.
