The 2022 MacBook Air laptop with M2 chip and 256GB storage is currently on sale at Amazon for $749, down from its original price of $999, which is a substantial 25% discount.

As a brief aside, the Apple Store's usual Black Friday gift card offer is now live through Dec. 2; M2 and M3 MacBooks come with free vouchers worth up to $200. That doesn't beat any of the dollars-off discounts available elsewhere, but it could be a practical option for those enmeshed in the Apple ecosystem.

Apple has updated RAM across its MacBooks, and if you don't pay attention, you may end up wasting hundreds of dollars.
