In June 2023 Apple introduced a new M2-powered 15-inch MacBook Air model, which arrived a year after the M2 13-inch MacBook Air with M2 chip. At the same time, Apple dropped the price of the 13-inch MacBook Air to $1,099/£1,149 (was $1,199/£1,249) and continues to sell the $999/£999 M1 MacBook Air from 2020.
If you’re hoping to get a discount on the MacBook Air, you’ve come to the right place. We follow all the Apple resellers all year round so we know the best prices resellers have sold Apple products for – and we know when they have a really good deal and not just an ok deal. Check out the best deals we are seeing right now below.
A couple of things to note first. Apple introduced the M3 chip at the end of October 2023. While not yet in the MacBook Air it probably won’t be long until Apple updates the M2 MacBook Air to take advantage of these new chips. Read about what’s next for the MacBook Air here: New M3 MacBook Air rumors.
If you aren’t sure whether to buy the MacBook Air or MacBook Pro we recommend that you read about the differences between the MacBook Air and Pro. We also have a MacBook buying guide to help you decide.

Where to buy the M2 MacBook Air
You can buy a MacBook Air directly from Apple in the US or at Apple UK, but the stocks may be low and Apple very rarely drops prices – see Where is the MacBook Air in stock. You may however find a MacBook Air in stock and discounted at one of these resellers. There are plenty of stores and Apple Premium Resellers around the world that offer discounts on new and old Macs, so it’s worth shopping around (read our Where to buy a Mac article for more advice).
One benefit of buying from Apple is you could trade in your old Mac and get money off. We have an article explaining How to get money off with Apple’s trade-in program.
We recommend the following resellers in the US and UK:

Best refurbished MacBook Air deals
The deals you will see above are from Apple resellers rather than Apple itself – Apple very rarely drops the prices of the Macs it sells. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t save money buying from Apple: if you want to get a discount on a Mac from Apple you can buy a refurbished Mac. It’s not only Apple that sells refurbished Macs, but Apple does offer some great incentives to buy from Apple’s Refurbished Store, so we do recommend taking a look there for great MacBook Air deals.
The Macs in Apple’s refurbished store may be ex-display stock, or they may have been returned to Apple due to a fault, but they are fully reconditioned now and come with a full year’s warranty. It’s not like buying secondhand. Read about buying a refurbished Mac.
In the U.S. you’ll find the following MacBook Air available in the refurbished store:
- 13-inch MacBook Air, M1, 7-core GPU
- 13-inch MacBook Air, M1, 8-core GPU
- 13-inch MacBook Air, M2, 8-core GPU
- 13-inch MacBook Air, M2, 10-core GPU
You can save as much as $210 off a MacBook Air with M2, compared to the original price.
In the U.K. you’ll find a slightly smaller selection of Mac laptops available from Apple’s refurbished store. Here’s what you can find:
- 13-inch MacBook Air, M1, 7-core GPU
- 13-inch MacBook Air, M1, 8-core GPU
- 13-inch MacBook Air, M2, 8-core GPU
- 13-inch MacBook Air, M2, 10-core GPU
There are savings of £220 off a MacBook Air with M2, compared to the original price.
You can get refurbished Macs from other suppliers too, including the following refurbished resellers listed below:
In the U.S.:
In the U.K.:
Amazon also has a certified refurbished store for Apple products, but we would advise against buying any products that are older than five years – most of the products we see on the Amazon refurbished store are very old. Another place to look is BackMarket US and BackMarket UK, which sells refurbished Macs and other Apple products. We also recommend Hoxton Macs in the U.K.
Other ways to save money
Students should check the Apple Education Store, where they will be able to pick up a discount (as long as they qualify for one). Read more: How to get a student discount from Apple. There is also Apple holds a “Back To Uni” event which runs in the US from June to September (and in the UK from July to October) and means you will get free AirPods with your purchase!
