Apple MacBook Air (M1, 2020, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD) — Budget Pick
Best Buy deal price: $750; street price: $950
What we like: Our former top MacBook pick is still a great option—it’s now our budget pick. Enough memory and storage for most day-to-day work. Approximate 14-hour battery life. Lightweight with solid construction, a comfy keyboard, and industry-leading customer support.
Other things to know: Apple’s proprietary M1 processor is still good enough for most people but not as fast as the M2. Specs include 8 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD, 13.3-inch Retina display, one 3.5 mm jack, and two Thunderbolt 3 ports.
