While this laptop is ideal for students, it makes a fantastic choice for anyone who needs an all-around laptop that can make it a full workday on battery power. Don't it buy if: You need a powerful gaming laptop. While the MacBook Air M2 can handle casual gaming, it won't compete with an RTX gaming laptop anytime soon. If you need a portable gaming powerhouse, we recommend the <a href="https://www.laptopmag.com/laptops/gaming-laptops-pcs/my-favorite-gaming-laptop-ever-is-dollar1000-off-during-prime-day">Razer Blade 14 (2023) instead.
