Look, we're not saying you have get a new MacBook, but if your laptop sounds like it's about to blast off every time you open more than one tab, it's at least worth looking into what else is out there.

And with Black Friday only a few days away, there's no better time to snag a MacBook for a few hundred bucks off. Amazon and Best Buy have been dropping great deals all November long (we don't recommend going straight to Apple if you're actually trying to save some money). Earlier this month, we saw the M1 Air hit its lowest price ever, and the M1 Pro MacBooks have also taken some historic $500 price drops, too.

Please note: All newly added deals have been marked with a , and all Macs with a are down to their lowest prices ever. Anything with a strikeout was either sold out or no longer available at the sale price as of this writing, but check back often — we're updating this page constantly.

Why we like it

Check out our full review of the M2 MacBook Air.

We'll cut to the chase — this is the only M2 MacBook Air that's $200 off as of the time of writing. In fact, it's the only M2 MacBook at that much of a discount. Beyond the power and speed you'll get with this processor, the 2022 Air also comes with a screen that's slightly bigger at 13.6 inches (when compared to the standard 13.3 inches). The updated Air ditches the tapered design of its predecessors, giving the perfect work-from-anywhere laptop an all-over sleek feel. And it has a 1080p webcam and no butterfly keyboard.

It's not without its issues — our reviewer wasn't a huge fan of the refresh rate or available port selection — but for anyone looking to upgrade from an older model, this is a solid pick at a very solid price. Grab it on sale in all four of its available colorways.

Why we like it

Chances are if you're looking at the powerhouse that is the M1 Pro MacBook Pro, you're going to be doing some form of creative work on it. In that case, the 16-inch Liquid Retina XDR display can really come in handy. As you're working, you might also notice yourself having to reach for the charger way less, thanks to the 21 hours of battery life (full disclosure, I use a 14-inch M1 Pro MacBook for work every single day and the battery life might be my favorite part). Finishing out this top-notch laptop is the three Thunderbolt 4 ports, an HDMI port, an SDXC card slot, a headphone jack, and a MagSafe 3 port for charging.

The M1 Pro laptops have been at $400 off pretty regularly the past year, so a $500 off deal is definitely worth noting. Plus, this particular deal puts the 16-inch Pro at the 14-inch Pro starting price.
