There's never been a better time to upgrade to one of Apple's popular laptops, as some of the best MacBook deals I've ever seen are available right now. There are record-low prices available on almost every model – from the newest MacBook Air models to the older (and still fantastic) M1-powered machines. Check out all of today's lowest prices I've found below.

It's clear after we got some serious hands-on time for our MacBook Air (M4) review that it continues the trend of the previous versions and remains one of the best laptops and best MacBooks you can buy – even if the upgrades are minimal compared to the M2 and M3 models.

Remember to also check if you're eligible for extra savings thanks to the Apple student discount that's live now as we head into the back-to-school sales season.

This MacBook Air with the M4 chip is the latest version of Apple's popular laptop and it's now available at a record-low price on Amazon. You get a great-looking 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display, while the boost to 16GB of RAM keeps all your programs running smoothly. It's just a shame Apple still insists on only 256GB of storage as standard, which feels a little miserly in 2025. Nevertheless, this is still one of the best laptops you can buy if you need a performance powerhouse for productivity and creative tasks – especially after this largest-ever $200 discount.

This upgraded version of the older MacBook Air M2 with 16GB of RAM is down to a new low price at Best Buy. This version with the M2 chip remains an excellent all-rounder, especially for day-to-day tasks such as browsing the internet and word processing, and it also has the power for more demanding creative and productivity tasks. Ultimately, you'll struggle to find a better value laptop than this right now.

Processor - Apple M1
RAM - 8GB
Storage - 256GB

It blows my mind that Walmart still has stock of the MacBook Air M1 after dropping its price to a new all-time low of $599. Newer M2, M3 and M4 models are available – but this is still excellent value for money for a powerful all-around laptop. Our MacBook Air M1 review awarded the device 4.5 stars out of five, praising Apple's premium device for its speed, responsiveness, beautiful design and long-lasting battery life.

It may essentially be just a larger version of the 13-inch MacBook Air, but if that's what you want, then that's what you get – and it's now available at its lowest-ever price on Amazon. 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 and well-rated laptop.

Display - 14 inches
Processor - Apple M4
RAM - 16GB
Storage - 512GB

Apple's powerful MacBook Pro with the latest M4 chip and a decent 512GB of storage is down to a record-low price on Amazon. Boasting a powerful M4 chip, a gorgeous liquid retina display and an impressive 18 hours of battery life, this is a complete creative workstation. We awarded this model 4.5 stars out of five in our MacBook Pro 14-inch (M4) review, praising the overall performance, elegant design and long-lasting battery. A version with 1TB storage is also available for $200 more.

How to find the best MacBook deals

MacBook deals are fairly regular, but Apple doesn't tend to discount these machines by a whole lot as they are premium devices that are built to last. That means Apple usually waits a long time to slash the price of its older MacBook models following the launch of a new generation. Even still, picking up an older but still capable MacBook is often the way to get the best deal.

As for when is the best time to buy, the good news is that MacBook sales are fairly common around certain times of the year. There are small price cuts every so often and after new releases, but the major discounts are held back until the biggest shopping events of the year such as Black Friday and the back-to-school sales. With that in mind, it's best to keep an eye out for superior MacBook deals in July and November.

Is a MacBook worth it?

Sure, it's a hefty initial investment, but buying a MacBook can be worth it in the long run. Apple's laptops are built with longevity in mind, so they offer excellent value over other devices that you may need to replace every couple of years.

It's also worth checking out the Best Buy discounts and Apple promo codes currently available for other ways to save on your purchase.
