This MacBook Air may be two years old but it’s still no slouch, and very recommendable for £849, particularly when Apple still sells it for £999. It has a sleek design and is powered by the Apple M2 chipset, which is extremely powerful and ekes incredible battery life out of the system.

It’s so good that Express.co.uk technology editor Dave Snelling gave it five stars when he reviewed it. “With its striking new design and M2-fuelled performance boost, this lean machine feels almost as mighty as a MacBook Pro,” he said at the time. This Mac will get updates for several more years and is more than enough laptop for most people.
