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.

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

A solid Apple deal is rarer than finding a lightning port in the wild right now, but thanks to the Amazon Black Friday sale, the 2024 Macbook Air (13-Inch) is $255 off. That's the latest and sleekest-looking Macbook, down from $1,099 to a classy $844, so this is the time to bite on a solid upgrade powered by the powerhouse M3 chip.

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.

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.

The best early Black Friday laptop deals include sizable discounts on the M4 Apple MacBook Pro, the Microsoft Surface Laptop 7, and the Lenovo Legion 7i Gen 9.

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.

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.

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.

If you’re in the market for inexpensive wireless earbuds with solid audio performance and upscale features, the Sony WF-C510 should be right up your alley.
