Amongst the sea of MacBook deals, there are only a couple I think are worth your attention, so I've listed them here. The standout deal is this shock price drop on the MacBook Air M2, bringing it down to $749.99 at Amazon. I can't believe this zippy laptop has become quite so affordable, as I really don't think much separates it from the new M3 version – hence why it's my pick for the best MacBook deal of Prime Day.

The other is this record saving on the MacBook Pro M3 – now down $300 to just $1,200 at Amazon. Both of those have been in contention for our best laptops for graphic design guide for different reasons. The Air because it's so portable and light (while packing a punch), and the Pro because of that incredible screen and powerful performance. Though the Pro discounted here won't let you do heavy 3D work, most heavy(ish) creative workflows will sing.

Overview: This is a record-low price on what remains a fantastic lightweight but powerful laptop. The M2 MacBook Air has a more modern feel than its predecessor, and somehow it's even lighter while having a bigger, brighter screen. The M2 chip offers a boost in power over the 2021 M1 model and battery life is excellent.
