Apple’s new M4 chips are undoubtedly a one-way ticket to enhanced performance across the board on MacBook devices, especially the rumored M4 MacBook Air reportedly slated for 2025 - but Amazon’s Black Friday sale has introduced some major discounts for M3 MacBooks, and I have to admit, they’ve piqued my interest.

So what are the best Black Friday MacBook deals so far? For me, it's the MacBook Air M2 for $749 on Amazon, which is $150 off. Meanwhile, the brand-new MacBook Pro 14-inch with the M4 chip is $125 off.

Apple Inc. is reportedly preparing for a major update to its MacBook Air lineup, with new models featuring M4 chips set to launch in early 2025. The Verge reports that the updated MacBook Air models are expected to be announced between January and March of the upcoming year.

Amazon is currently offering an incredible Black Friday deal on the latest MacBook Air M3 models that cater to these needs perfectly: the 2024 MacBook Air 256GB 13-inch is priced at $844 after a 23% discount from its original price of $1,099, while the 2024 MacBook Air 15-inch 256GB is available for $1,044, dowm from its list price of $1,299.

Following a few all-time low prices on the MacBook Air this morning, Amazon is now discounting multiple M4 MacBook Pro models to new low prices

Early Black Friday Cyber Monday deals are starting to drop, and several new Apple MacBooks —including ones that hit the shelves only a few weeks ago—are available for hundreds less. Translation? Now is hands-down the most opportune time to upgrade to a new laptop.

Apple laptops routinely get high marks for battery life and ease of use, but walk into the Apple Store, and you’ll get sticker shock with the thousand-dollar starting price. That’s why this amazing MacBook Air deal — just $599 (down from $699) — at Walmart is so exciting.
