Every day, we head into the deal mines, digging for savings and discounts on the best electronics out there. And every day, there's one deal that stands above them all. This is that deal!

The latest MacBook Air offers the M2 chip, and a redesigned chassis with MagSafe 3 support. It is powerful and can handle pretty much any kind of work, and it comes in either 13.6-inch or 15.3-inch sizes.

The New Year is just around the corner, which means after-Christmas sales are already in full swing. It's not every day you can get your hands on a new MacBook for under $1,000 / £1,000, but Amazon, Best Buy, and, in the UK, Currys have you covered.

The odd little 13-inch MacBook Pro was refreshed with the M2 chip, but it became the only MacBook to retain the old design. In late 2023, Apple finally phased that out with its M3 MacBook Pro release in favor of a more affordable 14-inch MacBook Pro — the first in that design to feature a base M-series chip.

Asus' magnesium-alloy, Qualcomm-based Zenbook aims squarely at the MacBook Air, and I went hands on with it at CES 2025 to see how it might compare.

I knew I had found my favorite computer of CES 2025 early last December, long before I had a chance to see what most other PC makers were cooking up. It comes from ASUS and it’s the new Zenbook A14, a system that the company had joked about calling the Zenbook Air.

The new machine not only succeeds in emulating the look of the MacBook Air, but exceeds its specs in no fewer than five different ways – including being even lighter … Glance quickly at the machine and you could easily be forgiven for mistaking it for a new MacBook Air.

In case you don’t know, CES is going on right now, and we’ve seen some amazing announcements already. ASUS, hot off of announcing its Vivobook 14 and Vivobook 16, just announced a device that might make you reconsider picking up that Macbook Air.
