MacBooks are some of my favorite laptops. The M-series chips are incredibly performant, the build quality is unmistakably Apple, and I love using macOS for my daily browsing.

However, one thing that typically holds back MacBooks is the price tag. Thankfully, Amazon Prime Big Deal Days sales are here to help - you can save $200/£150 on just about every one of the newest MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models while the sale lasts.

And if you need a little more power, the MacBook Pro M4 starts at $1,399 (£1,499), which is a great deal for the laptop on offer. If you've been meaning to upgrade, now's your chance!
