We rank the MacBook Air M2 as the best laptop on the market right now. And it’s easy to see why when the device performed so well in our MacBook Air M2 review.

We used GeekBench 5.4 to test the MacBook Air M2’s CPU performance, where it scored 1,932 for single-core and 8,919 for multi-core. The MacBook beat competing Windows laptops like the Asus Zenbook S 13 OLED (7,606) and Lenovo Yoga 9i Gen 7 (7,140). And in practice, the MacBook Air M2 felt great to use — we were able to open multiple applications and programs, stream video and more with ease. There was one moment that the MacBook Air M2 stuttered, but that was when we had over 100 tabs open in Chrome across multiple windows.

We love the MacBook Air M2’s 13.6-inch (2560 x 1664) display. We measured a peak brightness of 495 nits, and 107% coverage of the sRGB color gamut. In short, this laptop has a bright, vibrant display that’s great for watching movies, and editing photos and video.

The MacBook Air M2 also has stellar battery life. We got 14 hours and 6 minutes of life out of our unit, which is enough to get just about anybody through a whole day. The Macbook Air M2 also boasts a comfortable keyboard and touchpad that are great for productivity, and an improved 1080p webcam.

We think the MacBook Air M2 is the best laptop for most people, and it’s a great time to pick one up thanks to this big discount at Best Buy. For more options, check out our laptop deals coverage. Plus, this 65-inch Samsung OLED TV is a huge $1,400 off right now.
