The MacBook Air is one of the best laptops you can buy. Apple is currently offering three models: the 2020 13-inch MacBook Air M1, the 2022 13-inch MacBook Air M2, and the 2023 15-inch MacBook Air M2. If you were to buy them from the Apple Store, the laptops would set you back $999, $1,099, and $1,299 respectively.

Fortunately, this is prime shopping season for laptops as we have plenty of last-minute back to school sales happening at the same time as early Labor Day sales. As a result, every MacBook Air is now on sale at its lowest price ever.
