The best Black Friday deal is already here: get the MacBook Air M2 for just $699

Epic deal alert, folks - just ahead of November's Black Friday deals event, the exceptional Apple MacBook Air M2 is down to just $699 (was $999) at Amazon today thanks to a surprise discount at the retailer.

Not only is this the lowest price yet for this exceptional MacBook, but it is also (in my opinion) easily the best laptop deal on the market right now. So good is this deal, in fact, that I'd say it'll be a contender for Black Friday laptop deal of the year.

While the MacBook Air M2 is a little older now, it's still an amazing laptop for most people. With an exceptionally lightweight 13.3-inch form factor and unbeatable battery life, it's a particularly good choice for those who value portability. Luckily, the M2 chipset inside is more than capable of speeding through most tasks, so it's a great choice for work or creative applications, too.

This surprise deal comes a full month before Black Friday's official date, so it's a great opportunity to snag a great machine before November. If you're looking for a great deal and don't want to rush, then now's your opportunity.
