About this deal
This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:
Retailers are extending their return policies for Christmas: Full List of Shops Extending Returns Policies for Christmas
A Further 5% Cashback from Argos purchases (£99.50) available via Topcashback which would make this effectively £1899.05 (tracks within a few hours)
1,999 Nectar points also available on purchase and 4 months Spotify premium (although I think its for new users only)
This is the upgraded 1TB SSD version now being sold for the same price as the standard 512gb on Argos own site (which is already one of the cheapest prices other than Costco)
Not many in store stock (there are a few) but seem to be lots for click 'n' collect from Sainsburies. Delivery available for £3.95 if required.
By far the cheapest I could find for this model with upgraded SSD even before the 5% cashback and a reputable seller to boot
And Yes... we all know Macs are expensive, but if you're in the market for this spec it seems like a hot deal!

sorted bySeems to be an increasing number of YouTube reviews questioning the real value of the M2 over the M1 silicon. Maybe in reality more of an incremental leap for most users that aren’t thrashing their systems chucking out 4k videos for YouTube that will use the hardware video encoders.
Apple hardware is very over priced and for those who need the Poser image.
Argos was selling it for £2299 until recently (edited)
£1999 for a laptop? Mine cost me £139 in Tescos 9 years ago. Just sayin'... (edited)
Never buying a windows one again! (edited)
sound familiar. hmm yeah. If you have money to throw away, Mac's are fantastic. People keep comparing mac to windows.... that's like comparing an grape with cauliflower. They both serve different purposes.. windows is an OS, mac is hardware (+ OS). To really compare you would say "I'm never buying a surface pro (with windows), or a Samsung laptop (with windows).
Hardware wise - all "windows" machines are much more powerful in the mac price bracket. Where mac excel however is older hardware with a slick lightweight OS designed to get the best out of the dated hardware. A bit like buying a 5 year old Merc and then getting a Brabus body kit and tuning the engine to perfection to squeeze every last bhp out of it. It will perform superbly (even though its old tech).

As you only need to register your credit card with AR and spend on it, the TCB cash back will track as well.
Currently running M1 Macbook Air 8GB / 256GB and absolutely love it. Wish I had more storage. Slickest bit of hardware I've ever owned, the M1 is the highlight with the low temp and battery that lasts forever.
BTW I use Unreal 5 / Adobe AE / Davinci Resolve and fully appreciate 64GB+ RAM /32 cores on the desktop, and yet for all the lighter jobs in between - web dev / coding / documents / getting info I'm on the laptop. Grabbing the 14" is a matter of getting at least 1TB, superior rendering speeds and that fantastic slim bezel XDR display upgrade. Note how I barely care about RAM. 8GB freaking kicks ass in OSX for what I use a laptop for. I don't do heavy motion graphics in Adobe AE on the M1 Air which is the only thing that would make it's 8GB break a sweat. (edited)

Those poo poo'ing the price and realising it is M1 generation and not M2 generation need to go and have a loook how much they could get the M2 for haha.
Will spring for a Apple Silicon model soon, waiting for the 15” Air to be launched before making a decision.
This deal is hot, buyers will get a great laptop that will last for years.
Doesn't hurt of you have friends or family who work there either 😝
A new i9 or the new m2 have twice the processing power using less energy.
A Core i3-12100 actually performa better in Cinebench R23 multicore according to cpu-monkey.com/en/…0hk
So no worth it
but for pc owners who are unsure, you can get chimera OS
which is basically a linux steamOS experience you can pop on a usb drive
chimeraos.org/dow…oad
try it. if you like it (you will, its linux) you should consider a steam deck and a notebook
cheaper than a mac, does more than a mac, doesnt have the terrible OS of a mac
