Black Friday had some great deals for us this year, but all good things must come to an end. Or so I thought until I checked Amazon to see Cyber Monday deals ready and waiting, like the 13-inch MacBook Air (M4) for $738.04 (was $999). $261 off is $11 cheaper than it was for Black Friday! So you're still getting the best deal I've ever seen on a brand new MacBook. You an also score the MacBook Air M4 for £849 at Amazon UK (was £999).

Today's best 13-inch MacBook Air Cyber Monday deal

If you missed Black Friday, you still have a chance to get the latest MacBook Air at over 25% off thanks to Cyber Monday. This is my favorite MacBook model because it offers the same lightweight portability of the previous Air entries in the lineup but with unmatched performance from the impressive M4 processor. If you're a college student or remote worker looking for something portable, powerful, and premium, the M4 MacBook Air is my number one recommendation.

The 13-inch Apple MacBook Air (M4) earned a well-deserved 4.5 out of 5 stars in our review. It's easily one of the best laptops I've had the pleasure of using, and at this Cyber Monday price tag it's an unbeatable value.

Apple's M4 chip is incredibly performant, so much so that the latest MacBooks feature fanless designs because their thermal efficiency is so good there's no reason to have any. That leads to a silent operation that I found very satisfying; no more noisy fans whirring to life when you boot up or jump into Photoshop.

Speaking of the M4 chip's impressive performance, this MacBook can handle just about anything you throw at it from video editing to light Mac gaming.

It's an amazing value at under $750/£850 and a deal you definitely shouldn't pass up if you've been thinking about an upgrade. Usually Apple deals just come with a gift card on top of a full price purchase, so a 26% discount is as rare as it is enticing.

The sweet spot model I've highlighted here comes with 16GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD, which is perfectly sufficient for school work, hobbies, and everyday browsing, but you can also upgrade to 512GB of storage for an extra $200.

Apple's latest 14-inch MacBook Pro is down to the lowest price I've ever seen it at, thanks to Cyber Monday. If you already have an excellent M4 MacBook, you don't have a major reason to upgrade to the M5. But, if you're still rocking an M2, or even an Intel-based MacBook, this is an excellent opportunity to get a much-needed performance boost at a very reasonable price. This configuration comes with 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD, but you can double the storage to 1TB for an extra $200.
