MacBook deals: Which one is right for you?

There's a lot on offer here with these MacBook deals and you may be wondering which one will best suit your needs. We'll quickly break down what we think you need to know right now, comparing these excellent Macbook deals. 

Our first featured Apple sale - on the excellent 2019 MacBook Air is our call on the best deal for most users. While you're sacrificing the 256GB SSD featured on the 2020 model, you're getting a speedier processor and that same beautiful 13-inch Retina Display. That little extra speed (and the same amount of RAM) will give you the slight edge when it comes to those intensive applications - perfect if you're looking for a working from home machine. Thanks to Apple's excellent software updates, you'll also still have access to all the latest iOS features for a long, long time. 

The 2020 MacBook Air that we've also featured this week is another great deal that will serve most users well. While it's a little weaker in the processor department (featuring a Core i3 vs Core i5) it's got a much larger capacity solid-state drive. While it's subjective, based on whether you value raw speed or drive space, we'd recommend this one for those of you who plan to store loads of high-definition movies and shows in your MacBook.

The last of our featured Apple deals is on a powerful 2019 MacBook Pro 13. We'd recommend this for the power users - those of you who are going to be working from home or using intensive design applications. Even with a $100 saving, this is a big purchase for most users. If you're planning on just using your MacBook for just streaming or browsing, you may be better suited with our other Apple deals. If you need that extra horsepower though, or money's no object - then this Macbook Pro deal will serve you well.

If you'd like to see the whole range, then head on over to our best MacBook deals page, where we're searching high and low to compare all the best retailers near you. If Apple's not your thing, then we can also recommend our best laptop deals page - where we check out all the best windows alternatives and look to save you some cash.
