by

In the wake of the announcement of the new 15-inch MacBook Air, this week we've been tracking fresh all-time low prices on older models. Yesterday we saw the 2020 256GB M1 MacBook Air at $799.99 on Amazon, which is still available, and today B&H Photo has the 2022 256GB M2 MacBook Air at $999.00, down from $1,099.00.

This 13.6-inch MacBook Air has a new starting price of $1,099.00 thanks to the introduction of the 15-inch model. So while this is just a $100 discount now, it is the best price we've ever tracked on the model to date and a solid new entry price for the M2 models of the MacBook Air.

Love the launch-day price drops on still insanely capable Macs.

I’m always surprised at the people who like the wedge. I was never a fan. That’s not a bad idea, but Apple generally drops older designs to simplify manufacturing, i.e. The wedge probably won’t sell enough to justify its existence once the M3 is released When they can sell the newer design at a lesser price.
Actually Apple likes to reuse previous designs in other lines (iPhone SE using the 5s and now 8 design, Apple Watch SE I think using the AW3 and now AW5 design) and even keeping the 13" MBP design around for so long... so I think it is natural they may do the same with the iconic MBA design to create a MacBook SE line.

To me the most head-scratching decision Apple made this year is keeping the M1 Air and not lowering the M2 Air to $999. Perhaps they just still have a ton of M1 chips lying around and need to get rid of them. But it was obvious from the announcement that 13 inch M2 Airs were going to be on sale from third parties sooner rather than later. IMO, they should have lowered the M2 Air to $999 and the M1 Air to $899. The M1s would have sold quickly at that price.
I think the M1 MBA's are already selling quite well and they are making good margins so they didn't feel the need to cut any further especially with retailers already discounting them to $799 at times. I still think, or maybe just think it is a good idea, that when the M3 MBAs (13 and now 15) are released that they rebrand the former form factor MBA the MacBook SE and put a M2 in it. Maybe then drop it to $899.

Need some sales on more solid configs. My imac has a 512 ssd and 40 gigs of ram and ground to a hault this week as photoshop was somehow using like 200 gigs of the drive itself and i only had a few large documents open.
yeah i need more storage and ram than the 2004-era amounts on macbooks
