Over the years, I’ve often described Apple’s\u00a0 MacBook Air<\/a><\/span> as the most universally useful laptop you can get (or in this case, give). The latest version, now with Apple’s new M2 chip inside, hits the fresh button in a lot of ways: new colors, new design, better camera, slightly bigger screen. That means it can be either a major upgrade if you’re replacing an older Air or a big step up if it’s someone’s first laptop or first “premium” laptop.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Why it’s a great gift:<\/strong>\u00a0Anyone on your list would appreciate the Air. It’s a great college<\/a><\/span> or high school laptop<\/a><\/span>, especially because it’s tough enough to last all four years. But it’s just as at home with novelists in coffee shops and startup founders in airport lounges. Why has the MacBook Air remained so popular for so many years? I think it’s a just-right combination of design, power, durability, ease of use and price.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What you’ll pay: <\/strong>This year’s model would be a gift of slightly more significance than usual, because Apple’s starting price for the M2 MacBook Air has jumped to $1,199 from the traditional $999. Fortunately, the M1 MacBook Air with an older design and M1 chip is still available for $999. <\/p>\n
