I've always been a MacBook hater, but these Black Friday MacBook Air deals might get me to switch sides
With MacBook Air Black Friday deals like these, I might not even care that they don't come in purple
With Black Friday deals officially here, the various MacBook Air models have always been some of the best Black Friday laptop deals going, and that's even more true this year. Whether you're looking for a 13-inch MacBook Air or a larger 15-inch device, or whether you want the latest M4 chip or you're happy to settle for an M1 chip if the price is right, there are deals at every major retailer in the US and UK to get you the best MacBook Air for your needs and budget at a fantastic price.
Take this entry-level MacBook Air 13-inch with M4 chip, 16GB memory, and 256GB SSD for just $749 at Best Buy, a $250 savings. If you're in the UK, this same MacBook Air 13-inch is on sale for just £699.97 at Laptops Direct, a massive £300 discount.
Last-gen models are even cheaper if you're willing to sacrifice a little bit of performance, but even the M1-series MacBook Air models from 2020 make for fantastic student laptops with enough performance to make it through a 4-year program.
Whatever your needs, I've pulled together the very best offers in the US and UK to make it as easy to find the laptop you want as possible.
