It's no lie to say that my old 13 inch Macbook Air (sadly no longer with us) was one of my favorite bits of tech and hands down my fav laptop I've ever owned. So light as be non existent in a bag, I used it constantly until it was obsolete and then, priced out of owning one by Apple's odd product choices, gazed on lovingly $1000+ machines. Now affordable (ish) Airbooks are back, and with $200 off this $599 deal on a 13 inch Macbook Air M2 I'm thinking it's time to rekindle an old love.

Let's take a look at the deal below in more detail, and if you're looking for anything else Apple shaped then check out these Cyber Monday iPad deals.

Save $200 - That's a great saving on a 13 inch, 2560 x 1664 Liquid Retina display, with an Apple M2 8-core, 16GB of RAM and 256GB SSD. It's a solid little work machine at a great price.

Should you buy the MacBook Air 13-inch Laptop?

Whether you should get this Macbook Air deal is entirely up to what your current laptop needs are. This is definitely a work and light internet duties machine over anything for gaming or other intensive needs, but if you just need a sturdy and dependable machine to get stuff done on, it's the sort of option you won't regret.

I mean it when I say I loved my old Macbook. I took it everywhere for work; its battery lasted ages, and it weighed so little I'd regulartly panic I'd lost it when I didn't immediately see it in my bag. It was such a dependable little workhorse I'm still sad about it becoming 'legacy' and no longer getting new oS updates.

Apple didn't have anything to replace it for a while in a price I was comfortable paying, but now it's back and $200 cheaper to boot. The only reason I'm literally not buying this myself right now is because I ended up replacing it with a similar sized Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 I got in last year's sales that almost equally love. Almost.

If you want something a little more beefy then there's always some Cyber Monday gaming laptop deals or Cyber Monday gaming PC deals.
