A laptop upgrade never hurts, especially when you get it during Amazon's annual Prime Day sales event (the second day is up and running). This laptop in particular will stun you with its capabilities, and you can get it for an awe-inspiring price. But... there's a small catch.

As of Oct. 10, you can score the 15-inch MacBook Air (M2 chip, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD) for $300 off at Best Buy as a My Best Buy member and for $250 off if you aren't a member. That extra $50 off comes as a perk of the My Best Buy Plus or Total membership. The Plus will cost you $49.99 per year and the Total is a whopping $179.99 per year.

Since both plans offer the same markdown on this MacBook, we obviously recommend committing to the cheaper Plus. For pricing reference, we've only seen a price this good on the model back in September. Indeed, $999 is an all-time low for the 15-inch M2 MacBook Air: At Amazon, it has never sold for less than $1,049, which is its current non-member price at Best Buy.

This MacBook Air comes with the advantages of Apple's latest-and-greatest M2 processing chip, up to 18 hours of battery life, and that signature Liquid Retina display you have to see to believe. The laptop also boasts a snazzy Spacial Audio system and a 1080p FaceTime HD camera that will guarantee crisp resolution.
