About this deal
This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:
All of the base model M2 MBAs got reduced by £100. I was surprised to see that the Refurbished store also got discounted models, and is cheaper than even the Education store.
All four colours are on there for £979. These come with the standard 1 year Apple Warranty as well, and my 14" MBP was pristine when I bought it from the Refurbished store.

sorted byI have the base model M2 MBA and I use it for occasional video editing with Final Cut Pro from a drone (hobby, not work related or time sensitive), and it can handle that with no issues; multiple streams of 4K footage, with music, effects and some title cards in the timeline without dropping a frame.
If you’re wanting pro level performance, there happens to be a device just for you, with Pro in the title. For most people? This device will do just fine. (edited)
The Air has the same chip but without the active cooling (fans). So after sustained loads for longer periods of time, it will throttle down to stop itself overheating, whereas the Pro’s fans will kick in to keep it cooler so it can go perform faster for longer. The plus side of the Air is that it is totally silent at all times.
but its basically brand new,
Jebus Price!
every single line in that overview is disgusting
priced up a 7700X with a 6700XT and 32 GB RAM, NVME 5000MB 2TB Hardrive on PC for less.
I guess we can all agree that Apple fans deserve this.
Also it's about time they got the price lowered; it was cheaper to buy brand new otherwise from retailers.
you can really tell you have never owned a macbook
Also find it funny how people defend 8GB RAM by not even calling RAM - it's 'unified memory.' If Apple have renamed it, it's apparently special (edited)
Had a Early 2015 Pro with 8GB Ram, runs perfectly fine today... upgraded to the M2 Air this year and its runs sublime, with just 8GB of Unified Memory.. and I paid less than £900 for it with Very 20% off (edited)
It's my first Mac. Only other apple device I've owned previously were iPads. After an unfortunate incident in an Egyptian Taxi I lost my iPad and windows laptop.
I decided to try and combine both iPad and laptop in one as replacement.
For my needs its been perfect. Absolutely amazing battery life, nearly as portable as the iPad it's replaced.
As a windows user I to was worried about only 8gb ram. It's turned out to be no issues for my use. Obviously you are not going to be playing games on this. (edited)
The customised configurations aren't on the website anymore, so either some people bought them all overnight or Apple only selling the stock configurations. NVM, they're on there now. (edited)
I appreciate the quality of Apple products but I hate when they rip off us and obviously they do it because people still buying it.
If people are thinking like I am - out of financial necessity - then the second hand and refurbished prices outside of the Apple Store are going to increase.
Now I think is the time to buy because new stock is prohibitively expensive for many people who a few years ago would have bought a new MacBook.
