Missed out on a MacBook this Cyber Monday? Have no fear: I've got all the last-minute deals still live right here

Welcome to our guide to the best MacBook Black Friday deals! Above you'll find our picks of the hottest deals we've found so far from retailers across the internet, and in this section I'll be giving you live buying advice and highlighting any deals that I find during my search for the Best MacBook Black Friday Deal of All Time^TM.

If you're in the UK and want the cheapest MacBook Black Friday deal, then this is the one to get:

Apple MacBook Air (M2, 8GB, 256GB): was £799 now £749

It's for the older M2 model with 8GB of RAM, but for this price, it's a great choice if you simply want an affordable MacBook that you can use for day-to-day tasks. I've personally told lots of people in real life to grab this deal.

If you're in the US and want an absolute rock-bottom price for any MacBook, then how about this one:

Apple MacBook Air M1: was $699 now $599 at Walmart

The MacBook Air M1 is a few years old by this point, but it is still a a great laptop, especially for one as light and portable as it is (and quiet too, thanks to its fanless cooling).

This model, sold by Walmart, features the 8-core version of the Apple M1 chip, 8GB unified memory, a 256GB PCIe SSD, and a 13.3-inch Retina display. The Rose Gold colorway is sold out, but you can still get it in Silver and Space Gray, all for the lowest price I've ever seen for an M1 MacBook Air.

Should you buy a MacBook Air?

So, let's talk MacBook Air. The latest model comes with an M3 chip, 16GB of unified memory and 256GB SSD to start. This is available in two sizes: 13-inch and 15-inch. The M3 chip is an excellent performer that can easily handle most tasks, including video editing and document creation.

Apple also continues to sell the MacBook Air with M2 chip, again in 13-inch and 15-inch sizes. This older model is cheaper than the M3 version, and while the hardware isn't quite as cutting edge, the M2 remains an excellent performer for day-to-day tasks.

Apple has made a tweak to the base models of both the M2 and M3 versions, and they now come with 16GB of unified memory rather than 8GB - so you get a hefty upgrade for the same price, though some retailers are also selling the 8GB model with an extra discount.

If you want a thin and light laptop but with a large screen to work on comfortably, then you should check out the MacBook Air 15-inch with M3 chip, which is down to nearly $1,000, a decent $150 drop from its original price.

MacBook Air 15-inch (M3): was $1,299 now $1,044 at Amazon

It's not as compact as the 13-inch model, but it's far what you'd call big and bulky, with a gorgeous screen and excellent speaker system as well.

Want some Apple MacBook Pro Black Friday deals? , we've got you covered with this Apple MacBook Pro 14-inch with 8-core CPU/10-core GPU M3 chip, 8GB memory, and 512GB SSD in Space Black for $200 at Best Buy.

Apple MacBook Pro 14-inch (M3, 8GB, 512GB, Space Black): was $1,399 now $1,199 at Best Buy

For those in the UK, you can get an incredible deal on a 14-inch MacBook Pro with M3 Pro chip, 18GB memory, and 512GB SSD in Silver for £250 off during Currys Black Friday sales event, happening right now.

Apple MacBook Pro 14-inch (M3 Pro, 18GB, 512GB, Silver): was £1,949 now £1,699 at Currys

This M2 MacBook Air charmed us plenty when it was released, and it is Apple Intelligence-ready as well, so you'll get all of Apple's AI goodies when they properly launch. In this Amazon Black Friday deal, the 13.6-inch MacBook Air has a newly-introduced 16GB of memory and an M2 Apple silicon processor, as well as 256GB of SSD storage.

It also has a backlit keyboard and a 1080p FaceTime HD camera. It'll work especially well with iPhones and iPads so you can transfer files and information, as well as make calls and exchange messages (among many other features), thanks to Apple's software ecosystem.

The highlight of the MacBook Air is its signature light weight and slim design. It weighs just 1.24 kg and has a battery life of up to 18 hours. In this deal, you get all these features and £150 off, now £849, which is one of the best prices we've seen for this laptop and we'll probably see for the rest of the year.

Apple MacBook Air 13-inch (2024, M2): was £999 now £849 at Amazon

While we wait for the pretty-much-inevitable M4 MacBook Air launch early next year, the M3 13-inch MacBook Air is currently on sale at its lowest price.

While it can be tempting to wait for the newer MacBook Air, this might be the biggest discount you'll see for a while on the M3 MacBook Air.

Apple M3 MacBook Air 13-inch Amazon US: was $1,099 now $844

Apple M3 MacBook Air 13-inch Amazon UK: was £1,099 now £949

If you're looking for a the M2 MacBook Air with 16GB RAM, this is a pretty good deal and probably one of the lowest prices (if not the lowest price we'll see) of the year. It has, of course, an M2 Apple silicon processor and 256GB of SSD storage.

It also has Apple's signature Liquid Retina display and a battery life of up to 18 hours. This version is the Starlight colour version, and it has a backlit Magic Keyboard and a 1080p FaceTime HD camera.

Apple MacBook Air 13-inch (2022, M2): was £999 now £849 at Currys

This Best Buy Black Friday sale brings a solid last-gen build to under $2,000. The recent arrival of the M4 series may be all the craze (and for good reason), but the M3 Pro is still a very performant chip, especially when you pair it with 18GB of unified memory and a speedy SSD like this model does.

It also features the MacBook Liquid Retina display you know and love and comes in either Space Black or Silver colorways. If you want to bump the memory up to 36GB, you're looking at another $400 on the price tag, so I think 18GB is the sweet spot here.

You won't see this under $2,000 for long, so get on over to Best Buy now!

Apple MacBook Pro 16-inch (2023, M3 Pro): was $2,399 now $1,999 at Best Buy

This is a slightly different version of the Apple M2 MacBook Air, equipped with an M2 Apple silicon processor, 8GB of RAM, and 512GB of SSD storage. This means you'll be able to use Apple Intelligence as more features involving it are introduced.

It has a ton of Apple signature design features, first and foremost its light weight and thin chassis, a Liquid Retina display, and a battery life of up to 18 hours. It also has a Backlit Magic Keyboard for that satisfying Apple typing experience.

You can get this Apple M2 MacBook Air deal in three colours, including Space Grey, Starlight, and Silver (which is the model we link here).

Apple MacBook Air 13-inch (2022, M2): was £1,145 now £849 at Currys

15-inch MacBook Air (M2). Under $1,000. Need I say more? I shall for your perusing pleasure: Best Buy is throwing Mac deals at us like they get charged per laptop left over at the end of the day.

You get 15 inches of screen real estate with this model, and while the latest MacBook Air laptops feature the M3 chip, the M2 inside of the Air in particular is nothing to scoff at. With 8GB of unified memory and a 256GB SSD, this isn't the most powerful of Apple's repertoire.

But you wouldn't want a MacBook Air for that anyways - this is a laptop that knows its made for easy travel, snappy performance on work tasks, and media enjoyment with its eye-catching screen.

And it delivers on all fronts.

Apple MacBook Air 15-inch (2023, M2): was $1,299 now $999 at Best Buy

The Apple MacBook Pro 14-inch with M4 chip is less than a month old, but already we're seeing sale pricing on these latest models, like this Best Buy Black Friday deal on a 14-inch MacBook Pro with M4 Pro chip, 24GB memory, and a 1TB SSD in Space Black.

Apple MacBook Pro 14-inch (2024, M4 Pro): was $2,399 now $2,099 at Best Buy

Need some serious Apple horsepower for development or creativity work? Look no further than the big, sleek, and powerful 16-inch MacBook Pro M4 Pro.

Without beating around the bush, the price tag isn't easy to swallow. At an original price of $2,499, Apple knows you get what you pay for. This Black Friday deal eases the sting with a $300 discount, though, which drops this MacBook Pro down $2,199 for the time being.

The trade-off for that asking price is some fantastic hardware in the M4 Pro chip, 24GB of unified memory, a 512GB SSD for storage, and a gorgeous 16.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR display. A terrific investment that will last you years of Apple enjoyment, the 16-inch MacBook Pro M4 Pro won't be at this price for very long.

Hey Black Friday shoppers - Marcus here, TechRadar's Computing Reviews and Buying Guides Editor.

When you hear "MacBook," I almost guarantee the next word you think of isn't "gaming." Historically, Macs just haven't been able to stand up to the graphical prowess of custom Windows machines.

That's changing right before our eyes.

I'm not saying I'd reach for a MacBook before an RTX 4090, but I am saying that if you, like me, have been sucked into the sea of Roguelikes and Lites out there (looking at you, Balatro, Dome Keeper, and a special shout out to Dave the Diver) you can absolutely rely on a modern Mac to help fill your downtime.

And it doesn't even have to be the biggest, most expensive MacBook you can find, either. You can absolutely get away with indie gaming on an M3 MacBook Air - I'd reach for the 512GB storage version so you have enough room for all of your games and personal files, but there's no need for an M4 Max if you want to play a little Hades.

Good thing you can score a MacBook Air M3 for $250 off this Black Friday.

If you have the capital for it, the 16-inch MacBook Pro M4 Max is the Mac-num opus (sorry) of Apple laptops. It features the most processing power the Cupertino-based giant can produce without compromising on the unique features and feel that define the MacBook lineup.

Photo and video editing, working with large AI projects, disappearing into thousands of lines of code...this MacBook will help you do it all without as much as a hiccup.

And how could you say no to that 16-inch Liquid Retina display? I simply can't take my eyes off it.

The only thing holding the M4 Max back is its asking price. This is a $3,000+ laptop (typically $3,499 for this model) that isn't for everyone, but is absolutely perfect for those aiming for peak performance. Thankfully, Best Buy is running some fantastic Black Friday deals, and you can shave $400 off of your total here while the sale lasts!
