  • Deception (50%)
    The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the title claims that the MacBook Airs have never been cheaper when in fact they were cheaper before this sale at B&H and Amazon. Secondly, the author states that this deal only applies to two finishes but fails to mention all four available colors are on sale at both retailers. Lastly, while it is true that these models use Apple's M3 chip which has a faster SSD than its predecessor, the article does not provide any evidence or context for why this makes them better deals.
