"Every model" of 13.3" MacBook Air except those with 16GB of RAM. So, actually, only half of the models are on sale.

Matches the Apple refurb site pricing. If considering purchasing just remember that these include the much slower, single-NAND chip SSDs...

Define much slower because I have one and it’s plenty fast for every day use. Don’t let the whole NAND thing dissuade you from buying this notebook folks. For $849, it’s a great deal. FYI, Costco also has it on sale for the same price and they offer a 90 day return policy.

If it wasn't a major issue of contention Apple wouldn't have reverted back to using dual chips in the M3 model so...

And by much slower I mean literally HALF the performance.

Which is what, milliseconds? Apple went back to the single Nand because of all the techie nerds in the world that said it was bad. It was getting bad press for them. The reality is, half as slow is still blazing fast. Go out to alil the major retailers that sell the M2 air and read the reviews. You will rarely find anyone who says their computer is slow. That’s because we’re all regular people who don’t care what the techie influencers say. My M2 MacBook Air is blazing fast and does everything I need it to do. $849 is a steal for what you’re getting!

For 850 that would dissuade me

To make a fair comparison, I would look at the M2 MBA on sale for $849 vs the M3 MBA on sale for $999. Most people will not notice the difference in performance between the chips or the NAND. Two external monitors might be a thing for some people, but probably not for a huge portion of the base configuration MBA crowd. MacOS updates are the bigger issue. The M3 will get at least one additional update....maybe two. If that is important to you, then get the M3. If not, get the M2.

If only it was 16GB.

I regret getting 8GB with my M1 MBA. For my use it always bounces between yellow and red for memory pressure.

Sometimes it stutters so bad when the pressure turns red. Also at times it locks up the system and causes me to force restart it.

Good price. No particular reason to buy M3 version. M2 Air is a very good laptop.
