Are you in need of a new laptop? If you don't need a lot of power, a good Chromebooks like the one from Asus is an affordable option. The convertible is even cheaper now that it is at its best price in a year. The Chromebooks is on sale at Amazon with a MediaTek 8183 processor, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of eMMC storage.

The CM3 has a dual-folding kickstand that allows it to stand up like a laptop or fold vertically. It has a magnetic cover, a built-in USI stylus, and an excellent battery that should last you 13 hours. It's fine for browsing, but it's not particularly powerful and can be slow when you use Gmail. A 3.5mm audio jack is only one of the two ports you get. We recommend you to read our review.

There are rumors that Apple may release an M2 powered MacBook Pro as early as October, but the company is not likely to introduce new MacBook models during today's event. If you want a more affordable MacBook Air, you can purchase it from Amazon or B&H Photo, where you can pick it up for less than the retail price.

We think the new M2 powered MacBook Air is the best laptop for most people since it does a good job of offering everything the general user may need and it also features a high definition camera. Many of the same features as the MacBook Air, such as MagSafe and all-day battery life, are retained. Like all laptops, there are some drawbacks, including a relatively limited port selection. If you buy the base model, you should keep in mind that copying large files and other tasks may take some time since it is stored on a single chip. We recommend you to read our review.

The new MacBook Air is powered by Apple's newest chip. Features like long battery life and MagSafe charging are retained in the M2 model.
