Apple silicon means it's very fast and snappy for opening applications, multitasking, and doing lighter graphics-intensive work. It's also very efficient so has tremendous all-day battery life for when you're traveling or just fancy a change of scenery in the local coffee shop. This is back down to within $20 of the lowest price we saw on this model over Black Friday, so one not to be missed this time around. What's more, it'll make the perfect gift for the holiday season, especially for students and teenagers at school and college.
