The best Amazon Prime Day MacBook deals

The 13-inch MacBook Air running on the M2 processor is down to $749 (25% off) from its launch price of $999. It's an older model, but it's more than enough for most people to browse the web and run popular apps seamlessly.

How to choose the right MacBook

Choosing the right MacBook will depend on your budget and specific priorities for portability, battery life, and built-in features, among other criteria.

From a portability standpoint, Apple's MacBook Air models are lighter, thinner, and more portable than MacBook Pro laptops at comparable display sizes. The MacBook Air, whatever size you prefer, is perfectly suited for the vast majority of people's needs. With that said, we'd recommend those who run several apps simultaneously or use a web browser heavily with over 25 open tabs to opt for the 16GB model. The base model comes with 8GB, which is low by today's standards.

Conversely, MacBook Pro models tend to have longer battery life and higher performance than comparably sized MacBook Air models, but they're heavier and larger. These are expensive MacBooks, and while anyone can enjoy their power and features, they're best suited for those with intensely heavy workloads, especially those doing visual-based work.
