Apple MacBook Air M2 prices drop as new M3 MacBooks launch in India

With the new M3 MacBook Air models now launched, older MacBook Air models have received some big price drops. The M2 MacBook Air models in particular, make for some pretty value-for-money MacBooks right now, especially for those who don’t necessarily want the latest processor.

Here’s a closer look at these Apple MacBook Air models, and how they differ from the new M3 MacBook Air laptops.

Apple MacBook Air M2: Features and specifications

The M2 MacBook Air comes with an eight-core CPU and eight-core GPU, along with 8GB unified memory, and 256GB SSD storage. This is accompanied by a 1080p webcam, MagSafe 3 charging, two Thunderbolt/USB 4 ports, and support for one external display. The laptops also come with Magic Keyboard and Touch ID for security.

In case you haven’t noticed, these specifications are very close to that of the new M3 MacBook Air. The only benefit you get with the newer Apple laptops are the updated M3 chip, which offers better graphic and neural engine performance, along with support for two external monitors instead of one.

If that is something that’s not very important, you can consider the older MacBook Air M2 models as well, which continue to be very powerful thin-and-light laptops.

Apple MacBook Air M2: Pricing

You can get the older M2 MacBook Air 256GB model for Rs 1,02,990 from croma.com, which is down from the original price of Rs 1,14,900. For the M2 MacBook Air 512GB storage model, you now only pay Rs 1,31,390 instead of Rs 1,44,900.

Meanwhile, if you must have all the perks of the new M3 MacBook Air, know that they are priced from Rs 1,14,900 in India, and will be available from March 8 this year.
