Best MacBook Air M2 Deals: Up to $150 Off at B&H Photo

Score rare savings on Apple’s latest sleek and powerful MacBook Air.

The latest model in Apple’s sleek MacBook Air lineup is here, and we’ve named it the overall best laptop on the market right now for most people. Equipped with the new cutting-edge M2 processor, it’s lightweight and powerful, though not the most affordable model out there with a starting price of $1,199. But while deals on the latest Apple devices aren’t exactly common, there are a few discounts available that can knock as much as $150 off the starting price.

The M2 chip inside allows for a performance bump of up to 40% and battery life as long as 18 hours, according to Apple. It also has a slightly larger display than the previous-gen model, up to 13.6 inches from 13.3 inches. 

All of those improvements do come at a cost, though, as the MacBook Air M2’s price starts at $100 more than its predecessor. For that reason, it’s well worth trying to score a MacBook Air M2 deal where possible. We’re keeping tabs on any and all M2 MacBook Air savings we see below. 

Best MacBook Air M2 deals

B&H is offering the best discount out there on the MacBook Air M2 at the moment, and has knocked $150 off the midnight color variant, dropping the starting price down to $1,049. The retailer also offers a neat way to save on sales tax, too, with its own-brand B&H Payboo credit card that gives you the tax back as cash. On a purchase as large as a MacBook Air, that could be a decent chunk of change.

Some configurations are currently sold out at Amazon, but if you’re looking for the space gray color variant, you can save $50 on the base 256GB model, or $80 on the 512GB model, dropping the prices down to $1,149 and $1,419.

Apple is renowned for not offering direct discounts, but its education store offers a $100 cheaper price, plus discounted AppleCare coverage. If you’re not a student, you can still save by trading in your old MacBook (or any Apple device) for credit against your new one, or by using your Apple Card to spread the cost of your purchase while getting 3% cash back.

In the past, we’ve seen Best Buy offer as much as $200 off the MacBook Air M2, but there aren’t any discounts available at the moment. The retailer does have tons of different configurations in stock and has its own trade-in program, where you can save hundreds in exchange for your old laptop from Apple, Microsoft, HP and other brands.

Adorama has offered direct discounts on the new MacBook Air M2 in the past, but doesn’t have any currently available. However, the retailer does have its Adorama Rewards program, which is free to sign up for and allows you to earn points to redeem as credit against future purchases.

Resident Evil Requiem Revealed, but Where’s Leon Kennedy?

The Resident Evil 9 trailer showed off a new character, but not the much-rumored return of Leon.

After a fake-out earlier in Summer Game Fest on Friday, Resident Evil Requiem, or Resident Evil 9, was shown for the first time. 

The new title is the first mainline entry since Capcom released Resident Evil Village in 2021, and is rumored to feature series stalwart Leon Kennedy. In the trailer, the only person we saw was a character named Grace Ashcroft, who works for the FBI and appears to have ties to Raccoon City.

For the most hardcore Resident Evil fans, the name Ashcroft will ring a bell. Alyssa Ashcroft was one of the survivors of the online-only title, Resident Evil Outbreak for the PS2. Alyssa was a journalist who was trapped in Raccoon City during the events of Resident Evil 2, and she, along with other survivors, had to escape the city before it was destroyed.

Grace is Alyssa’s daughter, and in the trailer, she is going to visit the Remwood Hotel, where Alyssa was murdered. Later in the trailer, images from what appears to be the remnants of a destroyed Raccoon City are shown — including the police department from RE2 — so it appears Resident Evil 9 will return to where the series started. 

Leon’s (rumored) return is a big deal for the series, which has made some of its best games with him in the starring role. He first showed up as a rookie cop in Resident Evil 2, which built on the original game’s success with more story and improved monsters and level design.

He showed up again in Resident Evil 4, which took the series in a new direction by introducing an over-the-shoulder perspective, instead of the usual static camera angles and tank controls. Leon was also one of several playable protagonists in Resident Evil 6, a game that seemed to forget about its survival horror roots. We mostly don’t talk about that one.

But the 2019 remake of Resident Evil 2 was an excellent return to form, bringing RE4’s gameplay and much better graphics to a fan-favorite entry. The RE4 remake was a similar success.

Resident Evil Requiem is set to drop Feb. 27, 2026, for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series consoles, but we’re hoping to get our hands on it this weekend. If you want to catch up on older Resident Evil games, Capcom is having a sale that includes basically all the games, including Village and the three remakes.
