The 2022 MacBook Air has a nice discount at Amazon today

The screen of the MacBook Air on a table.

Always a great place to check for laptop deals, Amazon has a great one on the Apple MacBook Air with M2 chip right now. Usually costing $999, you can buy the popular laptop for just $829 right now so you’re saving a huge $170. The discount is highly unlikely to stick around given it’s a limited time deal, so if you’re keen to learn more about it, take a quick read below before you miss out.

Why you should buy the Apple MacBook Air M2
When we reviewed the Apple MacBook Air M2, we described it as “what Apple has always wanted”. It’s incredibly thin, has great battery life, all while performing admirably. At its heart is its M2 chip along with 8GB of memory and 256GB of SSD storage. We’d like to have seen more storage but memory wise, this may not sound as good as the best laptops but Apple knows how to use its hardware well.

Save $200 on this Polk MagniFi Max soundbar and subwoofer today

Polk Audio MagniFi Max AX SR soundbar.

No great home theater setup is complete without a solid soundbar, especially if you already have an excellent TV; even if it's not the best TV on the market, a soundbar upgrade makes a lot more sense. That said, even if you aren't grabbing the best soundbar, they can be expensive, which is why this Memorial Day deal on the high-end Polk MagniFi Max AX is worth checking out. While they usually go for $799, you can grab them now from Amazon for just $599, which is a substantial $200 discount.

Why you should buy the Polk MagniFi Max AX 5.1.2 soundbar and subwoofer
There is a lot to love about the Polk MagniFi Max AX, and while it may not be a brand name that you hear often, it does have a lot of great features under the hood. For example, you get both Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, which means better audio quality and easier adjustment to get the audio just right to fit the area you put it in. That also helps with creating a more immersive surround sound experience, especially since the soundbar has two upward-firing speakers that can help with enveloping you with sound.
