Rare Apple deal makes owning a new MacBook far more affordable but it ends soon

One of Apple’s popular laptops is now more affordable thanks to the Prime Day sale event from Amazon.

Treating yourself to a shiny new MacBook is never going to be cheap but Amazon has just announced a discount that certainly makes things feel a little more affordable. The rare deal is part of the online retailer’s Prime Day event which runs until July 17. As long as you have a Prime account you can currently bag the top-rated MacBook Air with M2 processor for just £849 – that’s a saving of £150 off Apple’s retail price.

For that money, you get a portable PC that features a stunning 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display and the impressive M2 chip that not only offers plenty of power but also very long 18-hour battery life.

There’s a 1080p FaceTime camera for your calls, 256GB of storage and keyboard that includes a Touch ID fingerprint scanner for easy unlocking of the display and a more secure way to pay for things online.

Other extras include MagSafe charging, a headphone port, a market-leading trackpad and decent speakers for a boost to your boxset binges.

Amazon’s price cut is available across the entire range including the Silver, Space Grey, Starlight and striking new Midnight colour.

Along with this MacBook deal, Amazon has also cut the price of the AirPods to a new low as part of Prime Day. That discount means you can now grab these buds for just £95.

If any of these discounts sounds enticing then you need to act fast as they won’t be around for long with Prime ending on July 17.
