Best Buy has no discounts currently available for the M2 version, however, if you fancy getting the M3 it's down by $300 in various configurations and colors in a limited-time deal. This is due to end in the next 24 hours, so act fast.
Walmart's M2 15-inch MacBook Air stock is extremely low right now, with almost no models available. The only way to get one is via an open-box, which doesn't save you much compared to a new one. Hopefully new stock will arrive soon.

Amazon launches second batch of Kuiper internet satellites, taking on Elon Musk's Starlink
Amazon's second batch of Kuiper internet satellites reached low Earth orbit on Monday, adding to its plans for a massive constellation and ramping up competition with SpaceX's Starlink. A United Launch Alliance rocket carrying 27 Kuiper satellites lifted off from a launchpad at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida at 6:54 a.m. ET, according to a livestream. "We have ignition and lift off of United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket carrying satellites for Amazon's Project Kuiper internet constellation, continuing a new chapter in low Earth orbit satellite connectivity," Ben Chilton, an ordnance engineer at ULA, said on the livestream following the launch. Monday's mission was rescheduled twice, owing to inclement weather and a problem with the rocket booster. Six years ago, Amazon unveiled its plans to build a constellation of internet-beaming satellites in low Earth orbit, called Project Kuiper. The service will compete directly with Elon Musk's Starlink, which currently dominates the market and has 8,000 satellites in orbit. Amazon in April successfully sent up 27 Kuiper internet satellites into low Earth orbit, a region of space that's within 1,200 miles of the Earth's surface. The 54 craft currently in orbit are the start of Amazon's planned constellation of 3,236 satellites. The company has to meet a Federal Communications Commission deadline to launch half of its total constellation, or 1,618 satellites, by July 2026. The company has booked more than 80 launches with several providers, including rival SpaceX, to deliver Kuiper its satellites into orbit.

Blue Origin delays launch of human spaceflight from Texas: When could liftoff happen now?
The six people selected for Blue Origin's next human spaceflight will have to wait a little longer before they can board a spacecraft that will take them more than 60 miles high. The spaceflight company founded by billionaire Jeff Bezos opted to postpone its June 21, 2025, launch of a mission known as NS-33. The mission, named for Blue Origin's New Shepard spacecraft, is preparing to make its 33rd trip to the edge of space from the company's rural launch facility in West Texas. Of those missions, 12 so far have had people on board, including some well-known public figures and celebrities. When the next group of passengers makes their brief voyage above Earth's atmosphere, they will join more than 60 others who have made the trip since Bezos himself flew on the maiden crewed flight in 2021. Here's what to know about Blue Origin's next human spaceflight, including when it could take place following the delay. Blue Origin's spaceflights on the New Shepard vehicle take up to six people on 11-minute voyages above the Kármán Line – the 62-mile-high internationally recognized boundary of space. Blue Origin's next crewed launch was due to get off the ground Saturday, June 21. The company first opted to delay the mission to Sunday, June 22 due to "persistent high winds" before announcing at 5:48 a.m. CT that mission operators were once again postponing the launch "due to weather." As of Monday, June 23, a new target launch date has not been announced. "We're assessing our next launch opportunity," Blue Origin said. Billionaire Jeff Bezos, best known for founding Amazon, is the founder of the private space technology company Blue Origin. Bezos himself boarded Blue Origin's New Shepard for its maiden crewed voyage in July 2021, which came after the spacecraft flew on 15 flight tests beginning in 2012. For nearly four years since its first crewed mission, the New Shepard spacecraft has served as a powerful symbol of Blue Origin's commercial spaceflight ambitions amid a growing space tourism industry. In addition to sending space tourists on brief joy rides to the edge of space, Blue Origin has also increasingly sought to compete with Elon Musk's SpaceX. Blue Origin's massive New Glenn rocket, which flew on its inaugural flight test in January 2025, is also being developed for future spaceflights. At 320 feet tall, the spacecraft rivals SpaceX's 400-foot Starship in size. Blue Origin New Shepard rocket launches take place in Texas at the company's private ranch facility known as Launch Site One. The facility is located 30 miles north of the town of Van Horn in Culberson County – more than 140 miles east of El Paso near the U.S.-Mexico border. The passengers on the next mission, whose names Blue Origin announced on Friday, June 13, are a group of mostly conservationists and business leaders. When the New Shepard gets off the ground again, the six people selected to board it will join 64 others who have flown on the spacecraft across 12 previous human spaceflights. Here's a look at the passengers: Allie Kuehner, an environmentalist who serves on the board of Nature is Nonpartisan, a nonprofit organization advocating for bipartisan solutions to environmental issues Carl Kuehner, who chairs Building and Land Technology, a real estate development, investment and property management firm Leland Larson, a philanthropist and former CEO of School Bus Services and Larson Transportation Services – both family-owned public transportation businesses based in Oregon Freddie Rescigno, Jr., CEO of Commodity Cables, an electrical company he founded in 2001 Owolabi Salis, an attorney and a financial consultant Jim Sitkin, a retired lawyer from California Eric Lagatta is the Space Connect reporter for the USA TODAY Network.

Watch Live: ULA tries for 2nd launch of year on mission for Amazon
United Launch Alliance took a week to reset, but will try again to send up its second launch of the year, another mission for Amazon's effort to compete with SpaceX's Starlink internet constellation. An Atlas V rocket on the Kuiper-2 mission with 27 internet satellites is targeting a 6:54 a.m. liftoff from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station's Space Launch Complex 41 during a 30-minute window. The launch attempt comes one week since ULA scrubbed because of bad temperature readings on the rocket related to a gaseous nitrogen purge line. 'Sorted the issue,' said ULA President and CEO Tory Bruno calling it an unintentional wet dress rehearsal. While ULA is only making its second launch of the year, SpaceX earlier Monday morning launched its 50th mission from the Space Coast. A Falcon 9 lifted off from Canaveral's nearby Space Launch Complex 40 at 1:58 a.m. with 27 Starlink satellites. The first-stage booster flew for the 25th time landing on the droneship A Shortfall of Gravitas. SpaceX has now launched more than 9,000 Starlink satellites since 2019. For ULA, the Atlas V is one of only 14 left in ULA's stable, seven of which are set aside for Amazon as the company looks to get more than 3,200 of its Project Kuiper satellites into orbit by 2028. ULA's first launch of the year in April was also for Amazon sending up the constellation's first 27 operational satellites. The company also purchased an additional 38 launches on ULA's new Vulcan rocket as well as missions on Blue Origin, Arianespace and even SpaceX. In total, Amazon has lined up more than 80 flights as it tries to play catchup to SpaceX, which has launched close to 9,000 of its Starlink satellites since 2019. While the satellites are manufactured in Washington, Amazon has built a $120 million satellite processing facility at a nearly 80-acre site at the Kennedy Space Center's former Shuttle Landing Facility where they will get the final preparations for launch such as fueling. For now, ULA is the only company proliferating the constellation, and Vulcan has the lion's share of contracted missions. ULA has only flown its Vulcan rocket twice so far, both in 2024, but is expecting to fly it a third time as early as July on a national security mission for the Space Force. ULA President and CEO Tory Bruno said that after that mission, Vulcan would fly its first Project Kuiper flight, one during which Vulcan would have six solid rocket boosters in its most powerful configuration. After that, Amazon missions will jump back and forth between Vulcan and remaining six contracted Atlas V rockets. Vulcan rockets have a larger capacity than Atlas V and would be able to carry 45 Project Kuiper satellites per launch. Amazon has a goal of getting more than half of the planned constellation into orbit before July 2026 as part of requirements put forth by its Federal Communications Commission license. To increase launch cadence, ULA has been building out a second vertical integration facility in Cape Canaveral so it can prepare two rockets for launch at the same time. Its goal is to ramp up to at least two launches per month on the Space Coast. It also has launch capability from California. ULA had only five launches total in 2024 including the final Delta IV Heavy launch from Space Launch Complex 37. SpaceX under the direction of the Space Force demolished the launch tower at SLC-37 last week in preparation to build out new launch facilities to support its in-development Starship and Super Heavy rockets. While SpaceX will continue launches from SLC-40 and Kennedy Space Center, ULA will focus its Space Coast operations entirely from SLC-41. ULA still has seven other Atlas V rockets set aside for other customers. One is for communications company ViaSat and six are assigned to Boeing Starliner launches, so the final flight for Atlas V may not come until as late as 2030. ULA has a backlog of more than 70 missions including 24 for national security. Its Vulcan rocket was only certified for those launches this spring after years of the delays in the rocket's development. Bruno has said ULA would like to ramp up to at least 24 launches per year by the end of 2026. The company formed as a partnership between Boeing and Lockheed Martin in 2006 and had been the primary launch provider for national security missions until SpaceX joined the competition. The most missions the company has flown in a single year has been 16 in 2009.
