Started sales of MacBook Air with M2 chip. How to buy the Russians?

Apple has opened up the ability to buy the MacBook Air M2 worldwide. This is reported by Gizmochina and MacRumors.

According to sources, the start of sales of the new MacBook Air M2 occurred on July 15, 2022. Pre-orders have already been launched earlier, and the first buyers have begun to receive their ultrabooks. Air M2 starts at $1199

Recall that the MacBook Air 2022 for the first time in the history of the model received a completely new design. This is the first model of the “air” ultrabook, which does not have a wedge-shaped case – until now it has been the “calling card” of Air. In addition, a new Apple Silicon M2 chip with 8 or 10 graphics cores is working at the “heart” of the device.

In Russia, the new MacBook Air, most likely, will not arrive officially. However, the Russians can still buy it. The easiest option is to wait until the laptop is brought to the Russian Federation by “serovozy”, but their prices will most likely be considerable.

Another way: combine a vacation in the near abroad with the purchase of a brand new Air. For example, on the Apple website, you can order a device to Turkey and pay 25,999 lira for it, which at the current exchange rate is about 90,000 rubles.

A very attractive price tag if you still planned to get to Turkey this summer and own a foreign bank card. And if there is no such card, then it will be possible to buy a laptop in offline stores in the country. Please note that when you return home to Russia, you will be able to receive TAX Refund at the border – you, as a foreigner, will be given 10 to 18 percent of the cost of the laptop.

Naturally, it remains possible to purchase the device in Europe or in the United States, if you have the opportunity to get there in the current circumstances.
