Black Friday MacBook deals 2023: all the best deals live right now

MacBook Air (M1): was $999.99 now $749.99 at Best Buy
Record low price: The 2020 Apple MacBook Air with an M1 chip is a little old now but it's still one of the best laptops ever made - and Best Buy now has it for its best-ever price right now. Our MacBook Air M1 review awarded the device 4.5 stars out of five, where we particularly praised Apple's premium device for its speed, responsiveness, beautiful design and long-lasting battery life. Overall, this is a deal we've seen before on rare occasion but this laptop is a great buy at $749.

MacBook Air (M2, 2022): was $1,099 now $949 at Best Buy
If you'd prefer to get the latest Apple device, Best Buy has the recent MacBook Air M2 for a saving of $150 (though it was at $899 last week). We concluded that this is the best laptop you can buy in our MacBook Air M2 review, thanks to the stylish design, clear display, impressive performance, and long battery life. For those needing a premium powerhouse for creative apps such as photo editing, video editing, and more intense workloads, this is worth the extra investment. The M1 is still up to those jobs too, so you'll still be fine with the cheaper option if your budget is smaller.

MacBook Air 15-inch, 8GB (M2): was $1,299 now $1,049 at Amazon
It may essentially be just a larger version of the MacBook Air 13-inch, but if that's what you want then that's what you get – and it's now reduced to a new lowest-ever price at Amazon. Our MacBook Air 15-inch review praised the display, performance, design and speaker array, although we did think the jump in size hurt one of the MacBook Air's key selling points - its portability. Nevertheless, the is still an impressive laptop at a good price following this new $250 discount.

MacBook Air 15-inch, 8GB (M2): was $1,499 now $1,249 at Best Buy
Best Buy has cut the price of the 15-inch MacBook Air with M2 chip with 8GB of memory and 512GB SSD. This remains a brilliant thin and light laptop, and the $200 cut makes it certainly better value than when it launched only a few months ago. The boost to storage space in this model gives you more leeway when working with large files.

MacBook Air 15-inch, 16GB (M2): was $1,699 now $1,449 at Best Buy
If you don't think 8GB of RAM is quite enough for you then Best Buy currently has a great deal on the 16GB model. This is the lowest price we've seen for this configuration, cutting $250 off the usual price. 

MacBook Pro 13-inch (M2, 2022): was $1,299 now $1,099 at Best Buy
The latest 13-inch MacBook Pro with the powerful M2 chip is available for close to its lowest price ever. It's a tough sell at full ask as it's not a revolutionary upgrade over the previous model and the newest MacBook Air M2 is actually better value for money in our opinion at just $50 more. Still, we loved this premium Apple laptop in our MacBook Pro 13-inch M2 review for its high performance in creative tasks such as photo and video editing, as well as the impressive battery life of around 15 hours.

MacBook Pro 13-inch (M2, 2022): was $1,499 now $1,299 at Best Buy
This model of the MacBook Pro 13-inch with M2 chip features a larger 512GB SSD than the base model, and it's got a $200 price cut for Black Friday. The added storage space is certainly welcome for people who want to use the smallest MacBook Pro for work, but the 256GB version is a further $200 cheaper than this model at the moment. If you can cope with a smaller SSD, that's much better value.

NEW MacBook Pro 14-inch (M3, 2023): was $1,599 now $1,449 at B&H
The new base model of the 14-inch MacBook Pro has got a $150 price cut already. This is for the model with M3 chip with 8-core CPU and 10-core GPU, plus 8GB memory and 512GB SSD. This is a nice discount for a new MacBook, but it's not the most powerful model out there.

NEW MacBook Pro 14-inch (M3 Pro, 2023): was $1,999 now $1,799 at B&H
Yep, only a few weeks after it was launched, B&H is knocking $200 off the brand new 14-inch MacBook Pro. It comes with the 11-core CPU, 14-core GPU, 18GB memory and 512GB SSD, giving you a great opportunity to get the cutting-edge MacBook Pro for less. However, if you want more SSD space or memory, it's worth looking at older models below.

MacBook Pro 14-inch (M1 Pro, 2021): was $2,799 now $2,499 at Adorama
Adorama has cut a big $300 off the first generation of the MacBook Pro 14-inch, which comes with the powerful M1 Pro chip, with a 10-core CPU and 14-core GPU, along with 32GB of memory and large 1TB SSD. It's only two years old, which means that while it's not the most recent model, it's still very good - especially at this lower price.

MacBook Pro 16-inch (M1 Pro, 2021): was $2,899 now $1,999 at Adorama
This brilliant MacBook Pro deal proves that good things come to those who wait. This is the first generation MacBook Pro 16-inch, which has the older M1 Pro chip - but it's still incredibly powerful, and it's only two years old. Best of all, you get a huge $900 saving ahead of Black Friday! It comes with a 10-core CPU, 16-core GPU, 32GB memory and 512GB SSD.

NEW MacBook Pro 16-inch (M3 Pro, 2023): was $2,499 now $2,299 at B&H
The new larger model of the MacBook Pro has got a surprise $200 from B&H. You get an M3 Pro chip with 12-core chip, 18-core GPU, 18GB memory and 512GB SSD in a MacBook that is only a few weeks old! Again, if you want more memory or SSD space, it's worth considering some of the older MacBook Pros below.

MacBook Pro 16-inch (M1 Max, 2021): was $3,299 now $2,999 at Adorama
This $300 price cut brings the 2021 model of the 16-inch MacBook Pro with some still-excellent specs. You get what was once the most powerful chip Apple made when it launched (the M1 Max with a 10-core CPU and 24-core GPU), 32GB of memory and huge 1TB storage space. It's still expensive, but it's certainly cheaper than the M2 Max and new M3 Max models.

MacBook Pro 16-inch (M2 Max, 2023): was $3,899 now $3,699 at Adorama
We're starting to see price cuts for the M2 generation of MacBook Pros now that the M3 generation is here. This incredibly powerful model was only released earlier this year, but it's got a $200 price cut ahead of Black Friday. It features the M2 Max chip with 12-core CPU, 38-core GPU, 64GB memory and 1TB SSD.

MacBook Air (M1, 2020): was £999 now £799 at Amazon
This is a great price for the previous generation MacBook Air M1 - although it is £50 away from the previous record-low. Even though there's a newer M2 model available now, this is still a very powerful creative workstation that'll suit most users. If you've had an eye on the device we called a 'game-changer' in our MacBook Air M1 review, then now's still a good time to buy.

MacBook Air 13-inch, 8GB (M2): was £1,119 now £1,049 at John Lewis
Apple's latest 13.6-inch MacBook Air comes with a stylish redesign and boosted M2 processor. This model, with 8GB memory and 256GB SSD, gets a price cut, making it better value, and now just £60 more than what the older M1 model usually sells for.

Apple MacBook Air (15-inch, M2, 8GB, 256GB): was £1,399 now £1,254.99 at Amazon
You may want to hold out until Black Friday to pick up a pricey MacBook Air but this is the lowest price yet for the M2 model. This superb machine isn't quite as good value as its M1 predecessor but it's a much more modern looking and slick machine. The bezels are thinner and the M2 chipset inside provides an impressive amount of power - enough that we'd happily recommend this one to all but the most demanding of professionals.

MacBook Pro 13-inch (M1, 2020): was £1,298 now £899.97 at Laptops Direct
The first generation MacBook Pro 13-inch with Apple's own silicon has plummeted in price ahead of Black Friday, and has a massive £399 price cut, putting it at a similar level as the M1 MacBook Air, but with a bit more flexibility thanks to its better thermal performance, so it can work harder for longer. With 8GB of memory and 256GB SSD storage, this is a brilliant deal for a laptop that remains an excellent performer.

Apple MacBook Pro 14-inch (M1 Pro, 2021): was £2,232.97 now £1,649.97 at Laptops Direct
It's an older MacBook, sir, but it checks out. Yes, this M1 Pro version of the MacBook Pro is a whopping £583 off at Laptops Direct for Black Friday, and it's not the base configuration either - you get a large 1TB SSD and 16GB of RAM in addition to Apple's high-res display with 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio. Unlike the MacBook Air, this laptop also features an HDMI output for easily connecting a second display.

NEW MacBook Pro 14-inch (M3, 2023): was £1,699 now £1,569.97 at Amazon
Amazon has cut £130 from the very latest MacBook Pro 14-inch model, mere weeks after it launched. You've got to love Black Friday! This is the least powerful model, with the base M3 chip, so if you want more power (especially in the memory department), then look at some of the slightly older models below.

Apple MacBook Pro 14-inch (M3 Pro, 2023): was £2,098.97 now £1,949.97 at Laptops Direct
It's only been a few weeks since Apple dropped its shiny new MacBook Pro models - equipped with the mighty M3 Pro and M3 Max processor - at a spooky October event. But Laptops Direct still has this model, which sports a 14-inch display, the M3 Pro chip, and 18GB of unified RAM, at a healthy £150 off for Black Friday. Snap this one up now, folks - we probably won't see a better deal on it until next year.
