Amazon and Best Buy are battling for the lowest price on Apple's best-selling M3 MacBook Air with 512GB of storage.

SAVE $255: As of Nov. 28, Apple’s 2024 MacBook Air (15-inch) with M3 chip is $1,044 at Amazon as part of Black Friday deals. That’s a $255 discount from its $1,299 list price.

Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales mark one of the best times to do so. Apple’s M3 MacBook Air is one of your best options in a thin, super portable form that’ll handle anything you need thanks to its powerful M3 chip.

Apple Black Friday deals are heating up on the brand-new M4 14-inch MacBook Pro, with the upgraded 1TB model with 24GB RAM dropping to $1,799.

SAVE $100: As of Nov. 26, the Apple MacBook Air 13.3-inch is on sale for $599 in Walmart's Black Friday sale. That's a 14% saving on the list price.

The 2022 MacBook Air features a modern and premium design with a 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display which provides stunning visuals (with a resolution of 2560 x 1664 pixels). It is powered by Apple’s M2 chip which includes an 8-core CPU and an 8-core GPU for smooth performance whether you’re browsing the web, gaming or streaming videos.

The new M4 MacBook Pro laptops can be bought with hundreds of dollars off the list price ahead of Black Friday... just not from Apple.

Every year Apple holds a shopping event from Black Friday (November 29 in 2024) to Cyber Monday (December 2). However, since Apple rarely discounts its products, the event consists of gift card offers rather than actual savings. The newest products are excluded, so don’t expect any offers on the iPhone 16 or new MacBooks.

Walmart is now discounting the 13-inch MacBook Air with M1 even further, allowing you to get this Apple Intelligence-ready laptop for just $599.99 (originally $699.99). This is a crazy discount on an already discounted laptop and the lowest price we've tracked. When my colleague Lance Ullanoff wrote about it in March, it was only $699.99.

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.
