I'm expecting record-low prices on MacBooks this Black Friday

Quick Menu

It's not long now until official Black Friday week descends upon us, and then the official Black Friday weekend, and of course, there's the official Black Friday. The truth is, the mega retail event pretty much dominate the whole month of November for several years now, and that's why I've put together this list of the current best Black Friday MacBook deals now. The deals are already coming in!

MacBook Pro 16-inch (M3 Max, 2023): $3,999 $3,499 at AmazonSave $500:

MacBook Pro 16-inch (M3 Max, 2023): $3,999 $3,499 at Amazon
Save $500: If you're using very demanding software, for example for 3D rendering, and you want the most power you can get from an Apple laptop, Amazon currently has 13% off the highest-spec MacBook Pro configuration it sells. This setup packs the M3 Max chip with a massive 48GB of unified memory and 1TB SSD, and the price equals the record saving that we saw during Prime Day in July.

MacBook Pro 16-inch (M2 Pro 2023): $2,499 $1,869.95 at AmazonSave $629.05:

Save $629.05: For an even bigger saving on a slightly less high-end option, you might turn to the previous iteration of the MacBook Pro 16, which is hardly 'old'. Apple released two generations last year: M2 Pro/Max-chipped models in January and then the M3 models in November. It's worth remembering that when Apple boasts about M3 series performance, it compares it against the M1, not the M2. This is a saving of 25%, which is something we rarely see even during Prime Day.

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

Save $300: If you don't need that amount of power, Amazon also has a record low price on the entry-level M3-chipped configuration of the latest 14-inch laptop. This only comes with 8GB of memory, so it's the least 'pro' Pro and may struggle with more demanding tasks like heavy video editing and 3D work, but it's great value for anyone who needs a device for graphic design, photo editing or general use.

MacBook Air 15 (M2, 2023):  $1,299 $899.55 at AmazonSave $399.45:

Finally, the MacBook Air isn't that far behind the performance of the base configuration of the MacBook Pro 14, and this 15-inch model is a great option for people who prefer a slightly larger screen to work on. This model has since been superseded by this year's M3 MacBook Air 15, but it was only released last year, and this is close to the cheapest price we've seen to date.

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

MacBook Pro 14 (M3, 2023): $1,599 $1,299 at Amazon
Save $300: Amazon has $300 off the smaller vanilla-spec M3 MacBook Pro 14. This is the first time a 14-inch MacBook Pro has come with the standard M chip, normally reserved for the 13-incher. Some will be concerned that this base model has only 8GB RAM, but 8GB seems to go further on Apple laptops.

Price check: Apple $1,599 | B&H Photo $1,499

MacBook Pro 16 (M3 Pro, 18GB RAM): £2,599Save £260

MacBook Pro 16 (M3 Pro, 18GB RAM): £2,599 £2,339 at Amazon
Save £260: Prefer a larger screen? This matches the lowest price we've seen in the UK on the 16-inch big boi from Apple. Even this long before Black Friday 2024, it's already cheaper than last Black Friday...

Price check: Apple $2,599

MacBook Air 13 (M1, 2020): £999Save £120:

MacBook Air 13 (M1, 2020): £999 £879 at Amazon
Save £120: This is good value for a solid lightweight compact laptop for working on the go. The cheapest price on record was £777.99 but that only lasted two days back in July during Amazon's Prime Day 2023.

MacBook Air 13 (M2, 2022): £1,199 £1,049 at AmazonSave £150:

MacBook Air 13 (M2, 2022): £1,199 £1,049 at Amazon
Save £150: This is the lowest price we've seen in the UK on the newer M2 MacBook Air 13. When we reviewed it, we found that this 2022 laptop offered a notable boost in performance, plus improvements in the design and display. Whether those are worth the extra money compared to the M1 model above depends on your needs. If you're working on content creation or editing photos, I'd go for this newer device.

Price check: Very £999
