It's almost Amazon Prime Day 2024 – yes again! For a third year, Amazon will run an additional Prime Day in October, and it could be a good time to find MacBook deals across Apple's laptop range.

Officially named Prime Big Deal Days, the Prime Day October sale will take place on Tuesday 8 October and Wednesday 9 October. But do you need to wait? We've started tracking prices already, and there are already some record low MacBook prices about.

The Air is the most popular of the MacBooks, and we think it's the most suitable for the majority of users. It doesn't have the power for pro video editing or 3D work, but it can handle most other things, and it's fantastically compact and portable. This isn't the best price by about $100 but worth mentioning nonetheless.

If you prefer to save a bit more by going for the previous version of the MacBook Air 13, this might be one to hold out for. We saw this on offer for as low as $799 during the first Prime Day of 2024 back in July. The current best price of $849 has been around pretty much since this year's replacement model was released, so I would hope to see that $799 deal appear again soon.

MacBook Pro 14 (M3, 2023): $1,599 $1,299 at AmazonSave $300:

Save $300: It's not even Prime Day yet, but this is the lowest price we've ever seen on the entry-level M3-chipped MacBook Pro 14. Representing a saving of 19%, it beats the price from the last Prime Day in July by $100. This price is for the 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD model, but if you need more memory or storage, there's also $300 of the 16GB and 1TB configurations.

MacBook Pro 14 (M3 Pro, 2023): $1,999 $1,649 at AmazonSave $350:

MacBook Pro 14 (M3 Pro, 2023): $1,999 $1,649 at Amazon
Save $350: If you need more power, this discount on the M3 Pro configuration of the 14-inch MacBook Pro is also a record deal, beating the previous best price by $50. This is the option I'd go for if you want to do video editing on the device.

MacBook Pro 16 (M3 Max): $3,499 $2,999 at Amazon Save $500:

MacBook Pro 16 (M3 Max): $3,499 $2,999 at Amazon Save $500: This is a huge deal on the top-of-the-range M3 Max MacBook Pro 16. It's still expensive and it provides much more power than most users will ever need, but if you're a pro video editor or 3D modeller and you need this much power, it's a good opportunity for a saving.
