Best Holiday Mac and iPad deals
MacBook Air 13-inch (M1): was $999.99 now $749.99 on Amazon
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 the record-low price. 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.
MacBook Air 15-inch (M2): was $1,299 now $1,099 on 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 near its lowest price yet. 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, this is still an impressive laptop at a good price following this $200 discount.
NEW MacBook Pro 14-inch (M3, 2023): was $1,599 now $1,449 on Amazon
The new base model of the 14-inch MacBook Pro got a $150 price cut already. This is for the model with an M3 chip, an 8-core CPU, and a 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 16-inch (M3 Pro, 2023): was $2,499 now $2,299 on Amazon
The new and larger MacBook Pro model has a surprise $200 cut from Amazon. You get an M3 Pro chip with a 12-core chip, 18-core GPU, 18GB memory, and 512GB SSD in a MacBook model that's essentially brand new! It's not the strongest one but the M3 Pro chip packs quite the punch.
5th-Gen Apple iPad Air (64GB): was $599 now $499.99 on Amazon
This iPad Air comes with the excellent M1 chip making it ideal for streaming and light work, as well as a 10.9-inch liquid retina display, 64GB of storage, a 12MP front/12MP back camera, and an all-day battery life. It even comes in several colors including Blue, Pink, Purple, Space Grey, and Starlight.
Apple 2023 Mac Mini (256GB): was $599 now $499 on Amazon
This is the baseline Mac Mini, which features the still excellent M2 chip, making it an absolute productivity machine. It has an 8-core CPU and 10-core GPU and comes with 8GB of unified memory (RAM) and 256GB of storage, which all sounds like very little except that this computer runs more efficiently than most Windows-based PCs but at an incredible price.
