Listen, where there are plenty of Apple Black Friday deals floating around this year, but what about the older Apple models that are even kinder on that Black Friday budget? The 2022 MacBook Air, powered by the epic M2 chip, is rocking a 25% discount down to $749 from $999. A MacBook Air with solid specs that will be seeing updates for the foreseeable future? That's a bargain.

The M2 chip is inspired by the M1 with its 8-core CPU, up to 10-core GPU, and dressed up with 16GB of unified memory. This beast will smash anything you throw at it, from streaming to editing photos, video, and music. Everyone uses cloud storage these days, but having a 256GB SSD for fast save and load times to keep your files locally is still lovely. It's also a great addition of entry point into the Apple ecosystem, syncing up with iPhone, AirPods, and more seamlessly.

If you're cool with a screen on the smaller side, 13.6 inches of Liquid Retina Display is waiting with its 500 nits brightness and support for over a billion colors. This means this deal is so good that it'll make you see literal rainbows. There's also a 1080p FaceTime HD front camera for solid video calls and conferences, which only adds to the value in this deal. What? Spatial Audio speakers too? MacBook Air is throwing sound around your head for programs and services supporting it.

Whether you need a holiday gift or a little "treat yourself" moment, you get Apple quality at a rare price. But don't dawdle — deals like this have a habit of disappearing faster than leftover pumpkin pie.

At $749, this Black Friday deal is a no-brainer. Considering the M2 model is two years old, there's so much on offer, but who cares when it does everything you need for far less than the latest model? Make a wise decision while enjoying that post-thanksgiving food coma.
