Black Friday deals are already coming in hot with some excellent discounts on MacBooks. Key among them is a sale on the M3 MacBook Air, the machine we consider to be the best laptop for most people and the best laptop for college students.

The big day is nearly here: Black Friday is the biggest shopping event of the year and if you are looking for a deal on a new MacBook Air or MacBook Pro you have come to the right place.

Amazon has it on sale for just $749 ahead of Black Friday, or $250 off its $999 MSRP. That's a 25% savings and a new record-low, matching the cheapest price the 8GB version saw. (The same deal was live at Best Buy for the paid tiers of its membership program on Thursday, Nov. 14; it'll be open to everyone there on Friday, Nov. 15.)

The 13-inch Apple MacBook Air with M2 chip is part of Best Buy’s Black Friday Doorbusters. As of Nov. 15, you can save $200 while supplies last.

Apple’s early Black Friday sales are live with major savings on top tech. The M3 MacBook Air (16GB RAM, 256GB storage) is down to $899—a $200 discount and the lowest price to date. The M2 MacBook Air is also available for $749, a 25% markdown, featuring 16GB RAM and an ultra-lightweight design.

SAVE $200: As of Nov. 12, the 2024 MacBook Air with M3 chip is $200 off at Amazon, bringing the price down to $899 (regularly $1,099). Grab this early Black Friday deal on Apple’s latest tech.

The 16GB MacBook Air with M2 chip is on sale for $749 at Amazon, down from the usual price of $999. That's a 25% discount.

Right now at Amazon, you can score the 13-inch MacBook Air M2 with 16GB of RAM for just $749 (originally $999), an instant $250 or 25% discount. That's not just the all-time low for this configuration, but it's the biggest discount yet on the new entry-level model.

Now it's even better value too, as UK retailer John Lewis has knocked a mighty £100 off the usual retail price in its Black Friday sales. Now just £899.97, the 256GB Starlight model is a true bargain for one of Apple's latest notebooks.

This MacBook Air is a triumph,” says one reviewer. “Apple has knocked it out of the park with the M3 chip and refined design.”

That's a great price for TechRadar's pick for the best MacBook you can buy right now as it excels as a school or work laptop. The $200 discount on the model with 16GB of memory actually makes it cheaper than models with more storage,
