13-inch MacBook Air with M1 ($799.99, originally $999 at Amazon)
Whether you need a laptop fit for both work or play and even if you need a warhorse that can handle more intense tasks, you should consider the 13-inch MacBook Air. It might boast the same iconic wedged design as the original, but with the Apple-made M1 chip inside it truly is supercharged. This entry-level laptop from Apple can handle batch photo edits, long 4K video edits, gaming, and dozens of tabs open in Safari or Google Chrome.
At $200 off, it’s returned to the lowest price we’ve tracked and is an epic deal. With no fan or cooling system inside, it won’t sound like a leafblower, even under immense pressure.
14-inch MacBook Pro with M2 Pro ($1,749, originally $1,999 at Amazon)
Whether you need more ports, a buttery smooth display that can scale to 120Hz, or just need more power for creative tasks, the 14-inch MacBook Pro with M2 Pro is an excellent choice. It’s also a full 13% or $250 off at $1,749 for the entry-level model with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. The cooling system here and a more powerful M2 Pro chip containing a 10-Core CPU and 16-Core GPU are better suited for 3D modeling and intense creative tasks. The cooling system also lets the M2 Pro chip run longer for sustained workflows. It also comes with many ports, like three USB-C/Thunderbolt 4, an SD card slot, and an HDMI port.
