Prime Day 2024 is on the horizon (again) and we're on the hunt for the best MacBook deals across Apple's extensive laptop range. This is the third year that Amazon has run an additional Prime Day in October – a perfect opportunity to upgrade your creative kit (or start thinking about early Christmas presents).

The October sale, officially named Prime Big Deal Days takes place from Tuesday 8 October to Wednesday 9 October. While there's likely to be some record lows coming your way, we've already spied some great deals on Apple's coveted MacBooks.

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 is a great deal saving you $200 off the regular price, we don't expect it to dip much lower this Prime Big Deal Days.

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.

Save $200: If you need more power, this discount on the M3 Pro configuration of the 14-inch MacBook Pro is a great steal. 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.
