Today's Presidents' Day sale in the US is the last major date for discounts until Memorial Day, so if you're looking for a new MacBook, now might be the time to buy. Presidents' Day proper has begun and we've seen a few MacBook deals that take our fancy.

MacBook Air (M1, 2020): $999 $799 at Best Buy
Save $200: This was superseded by a new M2 model last year, but Apple's still selling the 2020 M1, and it's the best value MacBook out there. It's even cheaper right not at Best Buy in a deal that matches the record low price we saw at Amazon during Black Friday in November. This remains the laptop that we most use at Creative Bloq, and we're still quite in love with it (see our five-star review). LIMITED TIME DEAL FOR 20 FEBRUARY

Save $300: Until January, the 2021 MacBook Pro 16 was the ultimate MacBook, offering dazzling performance with its M1 Pro or M1 Pro Max chip. And it still offers dazzling performance now. Some will be prepared to pay for the new model, but if you're looking to save, this 2021 device is a stunning laptop that will set you back almost $500 less. See our full MacBook Pro 16 2021 review for more details.

Save $499.03: Amazon has Presidents' Day MacBook deals on several configurations of the 14-inch M1 Pro MacBook too. This deal on the 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD setup is a joint record saving, matching the deal that we saw during Black Friday last year. The specs are the same as the larger 16-inch device above, making this a nice deal if you want outstanding performance in a smaller device.

MacBook Pro (M2, 2022): from $1,299 $1,099 at Best Buy
Save $200: This is the newest generation of Apple's smaller and more economical 13-inch MacBook, now with M2 silicon. Although this is M2, it isn't a highly optimised for demanding video processing as the M1 Pro MacBook Pros above and it starts at just 8GB RAM, but it's a lot cheaper, and more portable too. There's $200 off on several configurations. LIMITED TIME DEAL FOR 20 FEBRUARY
