Wondering how to choose an MacBook this sales season. Then you're in the right place. We've tested and reviewed almost every laptop that Apple has made, and we also track prices throughout the year in order to find the best deals on MacBooks and range of other tech products, so we're well acquainted with the ins and outs of choosing a device.

Prime Day in October runs on October 8-9. Black Friday is technically on 29 November, but deals tend to run through the entire month. That means it's a good idea to start keeping watch on prices throughout October and November. And knowing in advance which MacBook to choose for your needs can give you a good headstart.
