Black Friday is gone but Cyber Monday MacBook deals are here. Actually, they're the same deal in most cases, but the good news is that they're are genuinely impressive. I've been tracking MacBook prices during sales for over five years, and I've never seen deals quite so good. You have to be realistic: you're never going to save a lot more than $200 on a recent MacBook, but this year is that there are solid savings on some very new models: Amazon even has up to $200 off the M3 MacBook Pros, which were only released two weeks ago.
Most of the best MacBook deals started early last weekweek, but they're still going strong. I'll be updating this page regularly all the way through Cyber Monday, so you'll always find a link to the best deals on MacBook Pros and Airs. These are all laptops that we've tested and reviewed here at Creative Bloq.
For bargains on Apple products in general, check our general guide to Apple Black Friday 2023, where we're tracking the best deals on iPads, AirPods and Apple Watch as well as MacBooks. We also have a live blog reporting all the latest on MacBook Cyber Monday deals in particular.

Save $249.01: Apple laptops don't get cheaper than this! Amazon's run this deal on the already reduced 2020 MacBook Air before, but, with 25% off, it's still the cheapest price we've seen on any MacBook. It's three years old and isn't a laptop for the most demanding video editing, but many of us at Creative Bloq still use it for general work, browsing and entertainment.

Save $200: For all the power, the newest iteration of Apple's biggest laptop is the way to go. It was only released on 7 November and is so new, we haven't finished our review yet, but our initial experience is that it's as incredible as we hoped. If you need even better performance, there's also $200 off the 32GB configuration of this, the larger 16-inch Pro.

Save $150: Amazon and B&H Photo also have $150 off the smaller vanilla-spec M3 MacBook Pro 14. This is the first time a 14-inch MacBook Pro has come with the standard M chip, normally reserved for the 13-incher. Some will be concerned that this base model has only 8GB RAM, but 8GB seems to go further on Apple laptops.

Save $250: We quickly fell in love with the newest MacBook Air when it was released in July, awarding it 4.5 stars in our <a href="https://www.creativebloq.com/reviews/macbook-air-15-2023" data-link-merchant="creativebloq.com"" data-link-merchant="Amazon US"">review. It introduces a larger 15-inch screen, brilliant for creatives who want a light, fast laptop with more space to work. Amazon has been offering this 19% saving for a couple of weeks, but we don't expect to see a bigger Black Friday discount on such a new laptop in this price range.

Save $170: B&H Photo has the best deal on the more recent 13-inch MacBook Air, but this was even cheaper last week (a record low price of $899), so you might want to wait to see if it falls back to that price. However, anything under $1,000 is a decent deal for a laptop that's become the device of choice for many of Creative Bloq's own team (see our <a href="https://www.creativebloq.com/reviews/macbook-air-m2-2022" data-link-merchant="creativebloq.com"" data-link-merchant="bhphotovideo.com"">review).

Save $200: B&H Photo also has $200 off the smallest and cheapest MacBook Pro, the M2-chipped 13-incher from last year. to be honest, it's fairly hard to distinguish this from the 2022 M2 MacBook Air we mentioned above. It's slightly bulkier and heavier because it has a fan. That does mean that it keeps cooler when faced with more demanding uses like graphics and video, but I'd be more tempted to go for either the Air or the new M3 MacBook Pro 14.

MacBook Black Friday: What you need to know
When will MacBook Black Friday deals end?
Black Friday itself falls on 24 November and most deals usually last until the Monday afterwards (Cyber Monday), which this year falls on 27 November. Many of the deals listed above actually started in advance of Black Friday, in some cases several weeks in advance. There's always a chance that some of them may continue after Cyber Monday, but I wouldn't bank on it. If there's a deal you like the look of, it's a good idea to buy before the end of Black Friday weekend.
Does Apple have Black Friday MacBook sales?
Apple doesn't have direct Black Friday Macbook deals, but it is offering free Apple Black Friday gift cards with qualifying MacBook Air purchases. The gift cards are worth up to $200 in the US and £160 in the UK, but these are savings against future purchases at Apple. Considering that most MacBooks have at least $200 / £150 off at third-party retailers, it's not such a great deal.
If you want cash discounts, you'll need to look to third-party retailers like Amazon, B&H Photo, Best Buy and Walmart. We will be covering all those deals on this page, no matter who the retailer is.
Which retailers have the best MacBook Black Friday deals?
Most of the major electronics and tech retailers offer Black Friday and Cyber Monday MacBook deals. Good bets in the US include Amazon, Adorama and B&H Photo. Walmart and Best Buy also often have a couple of big headline deals. Over in the UK, Amazon, Currys, John Lewis, Laptops Direct, Very and AO.com are all contenders.
One place where you won't find a MacBook Black Friday deal is directly from Apple. Instead of discounting stock, Apple offers gift cards for savings on future purchases. That's great if you know you'll want to buy something from Apple in the future, which to be honest, you probably will, but it's not the same as a cash discount.
Fortunately, our price tracking technology makes it easy for you to find the best MacBook Black Friday deals without having to do the legwork and search a load of retailers yourself. We'll be linking directly to the best prices here on this page, which we'll be updating throughout the sale – you can even look below right now to find the best current MacBook Pro and Air prices.
Is Black Friday a good time to buy a MacBook?
Absolutely; Black Friday is one of the best times to buy a MacBook. We tend to see the lowest prices on MacBooks during the sales event, and this year we're seeing decent discounts even on the newest MacBooks, the M3 MacBook Pro and M2 MacBook Air 15.
There are of course limits. We don't normally see more than $200 to $250 off MacBooks that have been out for less than a year. Older models do come in for bigger savings at times, but usually only on high-spec configurations - for example, we sometimes see up to $400 of the MacBook Pro 16 with a large SSD. Savings on M1 Max and M2 Max Pros can be even higher, but that amount of power is beyond most people's needs.
How do I know if a MacBook Black Friday deal is good?
There are so many MacBook Black Friday deals around, it's easy to wonder whether what you're seeing is really a good deal or not. Some retailers do have a habit of inflating the 'before' price a couple of days before the deals, in order to make a deal seem much better than it actually is. There are also a lot of renewed MacBook deals that sometimes aren't much cheaper than a brand new device.
On this page, we're tracking MacBook deals as they come and go in both the US and UK, and we'll be comparing the sale price against the real genuine retail price from Apple. We'll also be checking the prices against other retailers to ensure that we're definitely linking to the very best MacBook Black Friday deal available.
