If you want to take a look at some other modern Apple laptops – including the most recent MacBook Pro 14-inch (2021) and MacBook Pro 16-inch (2021) – these are covered and compared in our regular roundup of the best MacBook deals and MacBook Pro deals.

However, deals like this aren't likely until some of the bigger sales events later in the year.

There were some small savings during Black Friday so look out for discounts of around $200 / £200 to match the previous record lows. It may not be as good value-for-money considering it costs $1,199 / £1,249 / AU$1,899 for the standard model but it is a solid upgrade over the current version thanks to the larger and brighter new display, thinner design and upgraded M2 chip. The price cuts have been even greater now that the MacBook Air M2 is available to buy. Outside of this, it's regularly reduced by up to $100 / £100 / AU$200 in most stores. It has a starting price of $999 / £999 / AU$1,499, but we've already seen it fall to as low as $749 / £899 during large sales events. Now that the MacBook Air M1 (2020) is two years old we've seen some bigger and better discounts over the last few months.
