This laptop’s most student-friendly feature is its size. At just .44-inches thick and 2.7 pounds, it’ll fit inside any backpack without much bulk. Impressively, Apple fit a lot of power inside of the laptop, including its latest chip. In our tests, the MacBook Air could edit 4K video and high-resolution photos without breaking a sweat. It’s equipped with a high-resolution screen, full-sized keyboard, 8GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, an HD webcam, and a Touch-ID fingerprint reader. Apple’s M3 series of chips are also capable of working with Apple Intelligence, Apple’s slate of AI features, which will be rolling out over the course of the next year. Whether you’re headed off to high school, college, or need a new ultra-thin laptop that’ll get you through the next several years, don’t miss this back-to-school deal.
