Posting this as a seperate deal for those not able to take advantage of Costco's latest price drop for this at £1049.98.
Entry level M2 Macbook Air from Apple 2022 release available at this price in all colours.
Recent BT Shop deal at £1105.59 got to 613 degrees heat so guessing this is still a good deal for John Lewis preferred customers over Costco.

Details
Pretty. Powerful. Supercharged by the new M2 chip, Apple's 2022 MacBook Air balances a thin, lightweight design with first-class performance. The 13.6" Liquid Retina display brings superb visuals and colour on-screen, while the power-efficient battery keeps you going all day, and long into the night. An ultrafast, ultra-capable laptop that lets you work, play or create just about anything - anywhere.
Speedy. Silent. Streamlined.
This thing's fast. Like quicker than 99% of other laptops fast. Apple's next-generation M2 chip blasts through projects big and small, with even more of the speed and power efficiency that made the M1 an instant hit. And don't worry about any noisy fans distracting you either - there aren't any. It'll stay completely silent, no matter how intense the task.
A battery that just keeps going
Somehow, despite its impossibly thin design, the MacBook Air lasts up to 18 hours between charges. Pretty impressive, considering most of us struggle to even stay awake for that long. Oh, and just in case you need some juice quick, fast charging gives you up to 50% battery life in just 30 minutes.
To be clear, it's gorgeous
The 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display comes with 500 nits of peak brightness, along with P3 wide colour and True Tone technology. Not sure what that all means? Well, put in plain English, you get superb visuals on a clear, bright, movie-style screen. It's probably the prettiest thing you'll lay eyes on all day (yourself aside, obviously).
Look sharp. Sound great.
Kitted out with a 1080p camera and three-mic array, you'll come through loud and clear on video calls and voice recordings. Don't worry if there's background noise - Apple's clever algorithm detects and amplifies your voice, instead of the audio around you.
Let your fingers do the talking
Comfortable and quiet, the Magic Keyboard has a full‑height function key row for quick access to controls and shortcuts. Touch ID makes it easy to unlock, enter passwords and make secure purchases or payments — all at the touch of a finger. And with the larger Force Touch trackpad, there’s even more space to work with precision.
Make some powerful connections
The MagSafe power cable easily attaches - and detaches - with magnets, preventing any unintended flights. Two Thunderbolt ports let you connect and power high-speed accessories, and the headphone jack supports high‑impedance headphones. Did we mention each finish comes with its own matching charging cable too?
Simply compatible
All your go-to apps run lightning fast, including Microsoft 365, Zoom, plus many iPhone and iPad apps too.
Includes AppleCare warranty
Every Mac comes with a one-year limited warranty and up to ninety days of complimentary support. You can also choose to get optional AppleCare+ to extend your coverage (available separately).

sorted byIn terms of the rest of what you said, there's a few issues there. Firstly CPU, RAM and Storage are integrated in a way that makes full usage of bus pathway interconnects so the performance is fully optimised. Secondly price, people absolutely have software requirements for using macOS and this is the entry price for that. For example if you want to use Logic Audio you need macOS. Lastly the battery to performance ratio is superb. The caveats of this machine are longevity with having 8GB RAM and restricted bandwidth of the 256GB storage configuration.
2022 Apple MacBook Pro 13”, M2 Processor, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD at £1175
Any comments on which of the above two appreciated. Only use for word, internet and excel so erring towards the Air.
Replacing a 2017 MacBook Pro; but don’t think I’ve ever used this to its full capabilities. Much appreciated.
Tbh, I am quite surprise how this thing hold up in times and I really believe it would have needed to be replaced long time ago if it is some other brands, so in a long run its worth it, so I am thinking of buying a new one for her.
Sorry for the long boring story, just want to provide some context and I am not interest in MAC vs PC thing, I just purely want a good laptop that can last, so my question is, is there any other laptop brand out there that are really build to last?
I’m using one right now. I just use it for browsing HotUKDeals and 8GB RAM is fine… (edited)
With 8GB the swap memory writing to the SSD will also be significant. SSDs are robust but the extra wear and degradation is a factor to consider.
If Apple was charging a sensible amount of money for an 8GB upgrade - or even £100 - nobody would be arguing strongly for the sufficiency of 8GB.
The arguments about the different processing architecture are overcooked. The Macbook Air uses Von Neumann architecture. The same memory is used for programs and data. Data that can't be stored in RAM is written as a swap file.
Think about ports. Otherwise, a great machine. Apple silicon is next level. Machine is always cold, super energy efficient, quiet and great battery life.
