Where to buy the M2 MacBook Air
You can buy a MacBook Air directly from Apple in the US or Apple UK, but stocks can be low and Apple rarely drops prices – see Where’s a MacBook Air in stock. You may be able to find a MacBook Air in stock and at a discount at one of these resellers. There are many stores and Apple Premium Resellers around the world that offer discounts on new and used Macs, so it’s worth shopping around (read our Where to buy a Mac article for more advice).
One benefit of buying from Apple is that you can sell your old Mac and get cash. We have an article that explains How to get money using Apple’s trade-in program.
We recommend the following resellers in the US and UK:
US retailers
UK retailers
UK Apple Authorized Resellers
Best refurbished MacBook Air deals
The deals you see above are mostly from Apple resellers rather than Apple itself – Apple rarely drops the prices of the Macs it sells. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t save money by buying from Apple: if you want to get a discount on a Mac from Apple you can buy a refurbished Mac. Not only does Apple sell refurbished Macs, but Apple offers great incentives to buy from Apple’s Refurbished Store, so we recommend looking there for great MacBook Air deals. In the UK see this page and the US Refurb Store page is here.
Macs in Apple’s refurbished store may be ex-display stock, or they may have been returned by Apple due to a fault, but they are now fully refurbished and come with a full year warranty. Unlike buying second hand. Read about buying a refurbished Mac.
We see M1 MacBook Air models in Apple’s Refurbished Store from time to time. If nothing is available when you look we recommend you check back in a month or so, if you can wait that long.

In the UK:
Amazon also has a certified repair shop for Apple products, but we advise not to buy any products older than five years – most of the products we see in the Amazon repair shop very old. Another place to look is BackMarket US and BackMarket UK, which sell refurbished Macs and other Apple products.
Other ways to save money
Students should check out the Apple Education Store, where they can get a discount (provided they qualify for one). Read more: How to get a student discount from Apple. There’s also Apple holding a “Back To Uni” event that runs in the US from June to September (and in the UK from July to October) and means you get free AirPods with your purchase!
