Here's a juicy Amazon Prime Day deal: the 13-inch M2 MacBook Air has dropped to $799. That's a $200 discount as part of Prime Day deals , and the savings apply to all color options so you can score one in that beautiful Midnight finish. Unfortunately, that price doesn't include AppleCare+ (you'll have to spend just under $1,000 to get that included), but it remains a fantastic sale price on a stellar MacBook.

But if you'd like to save some cash and still have a very capable Apple laptop to carry around, the M2 variant is our choice for the best budget MacBook — this latest discount just makes it even easier to recommend .
