My favorite laptop ever – the MacBook Air M2 – just hit an all-time low price in this Black Friday deal

I really think that at under $700 / £700 there’s no better laptop you can buy, unless you really hate macOS. Now I’m a tad biased as I use the MacBook Air M2 myself, in fact I’m using it to write this very article, but this little machine hasn’t let me down; I paid its full launch price (some £1,600) in the UK, so at way south of $1,000 / £1,000 it’s a real bargain.

Heck, I even think the MacBook Air M2 is a solid little gaming machine these days. In fact, my problem is I think the MacBook Air M2 might be too good, to the extent that Apple has merely iterated upon it over the past two generations.

TechRadar’s best laptops list is full of really good portable computers that our experts have tested, reviewed and chewed over. But there’s a reason why MacBooks top the list: they are basically unbeatable. And at the prices above in the Black Friday deals, I think the M2 model is the front runner when it comes to getting a great bargain.
