Buy it if: You need a lightweight, long-lasting MacBook that won't cost you an arm and a leg. While this laptop is ideal for students, it makes a fantastic choice for anyone who needs an all-around laptop that can make it a full workday on battery power.

Don't it buy if: You need a powerful gaming laptop. While the MacBook Air M2 can handle casual gaming, it won't compete with an RTX gaming laptop anytime soon. If you need a portable gaming powerhouse, we recommend the Razer Blade 14 (2023) instead.
