For anyone wondering why the performance of the 256GB is worse on the M2 MacBook Air as compared to the M1 256GB and the 512GB on both the M1 & M2, it's because Apple used a pair of "drive" chips that the MacBook Air would write parts of the data to both at the same time making the bandwidth (data pipe) twice as big. On the new M2 256GB they are only using one "drive" chip and thus, the speed to access the drive is cut in half slowing it down and making the difference between the M1 and M2 MacBook Air the opposite of what you would expect with the M2 being slower than the M1. Crazy but true.

16GB RAM paired with mediocre performing 256GB SSD. The ideal combo of 16GB/512GB is MIA. Well played!

Looks like a good deal for an M2. Hopefully this is the new price! I get that the M1 is faster but I like the look of this MacBook.

That exact was the open box (if you can live with it) MBP 14 deal (1,407) at Best Buy around BF.
Reserved online 'satisfactory' condition, got excellent at pickup. 2 battery cycles

Quote from kyriostrife :
This started showing up at this price a few weeks ago. Pops up often on b&h. Just have to keep checking. Pretty much normal price there now. All of these configurations have been available on the website from previous deals that were posted. Kind of think this is a repost actually. Could merge this with the existing ones.
Which ones exactly??? Can you post a link to a similar deal here on SD? Are you sure you are not confusing with deals on M1? I searched SD before posting, the only thing remotely close is 16GB/256GB for $20 more (https://slickdeals.net/f/16276165-apple-macbook-air-mid-2022-13-6-apple-m2-8-core-cpu-16gb-unified-memory-256gb-ssd-1269) and nothing below $1k on M2.

I think for most people the 256GB will be fine. The only thing that brought this to light is the benchmarking crowd who test the entirety of the machine's performance metrics. The real issue is the fact that they reduced performance from the M1 Air. I think that did more damage to the M2 Model than the actual speed difference.

Yeah I grabbed the $1599 M1 Pro at Best Buy a while back. The M2 Air would be a contender if this deal had the 512GB for $1299. But that's just crazy thinkin'. Stick Out Tongue

8GB is that unhappy medium for casual netsurfers and word processing. They would be better service with a much cheaper windows netbook, but need the status symbol.
This "netbook" point is true for a Windows machine, but not for an M-series Mac. (Look up the benchmarks on M1 series.) My college student uses the 8GB M1 for video editing on school projects and it is fine.

I'm going to wager that people who are considering an air won't be able to perceive a difference.
