Best Buy currently offers the 1TB model MacBook Air 15 M2 for $1,499 among its Apple deals this week. Typically $1,899, that's $400 in savings and the lowest price I've seen for this configuration. It pairs Apple's powerful M2 Chip with 16GB RAM making it one of the best laptops for work, school and everything in between.

Best Buy continues to slash up to $400 off select MacBooks and the 15-inch MacBook Air M2 in this deal is a solid buy. Especially if you're looking for a capable, travel-friendly laptop with long battery life. This configuration is more than adequate for multitasking, video editing and gaming. Plus, the Magic Keyboard makes for a comfortable typing experience.

If you're on a smaller budget, consider the MacBook Air 13 M2 for $849 ($150 off). Featuring 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD, it's a wise choice if you're looking for something more portable.

Don't buy if: You want a laptop for basic tasks or a machine for competitive gaming. The 15-inch MacBook Air plays MacOS-optimized games like No Man’s Sky and Resident Evil Village smoothly with solid frame rates. However, non-optimized games can result in choppy performance.
