Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales mark one of the best times to do so. Apple’s M3 MacBook Air is one of your best options in a thin, super portable form that’ll handle anything you need thanks to its powerful M3 chip.

SAVE $100: As of Nov. 26, the Apple MacBook Air 13.3-inch is on sale for $599 in Walmart's Black Friday sale. That's a 14% saving on the list price.

Early Black Friday Cyber Monday deals are starting to drop, and several new Apple MacBooks —including ones that hit the shelves only a few weeks ago—are available for hundreds less. Translation? Now is hands-down the most opportune time to upgrade to a new laptop.

The ultra-portable, 'super-fast workhorse' is great for students, travelers and everyday tasks, and it's $250 off.

Walmart is now discounting the 13-inch MacBook Air with M1 even further, allowing you to get this Apple Intelligence-ready laptop for just $599.99 (originally $699.99). This is a crazy discount on an already discounted laptop and the lowest price we've tracked. When my colleague Lance Ullanoff wrote about it in March, it was only $699.99.

But the latest deal that's caught our eye is on the Apple MacBook Air 2024. As of Nov. 21, both the 15-inch and 13-inch models have been reduced to their lowest-ever prices at Amazon. Currently, the 13-inch 2024 MacBook Air is priced at $849. The 15-inch 2024 MacBook Air is priced at $1234 for Black Friday.

This MacBook Air is a shocking $300 off, marking the lowest price we've ever seen on this model. Apple recently upgraded the Air to come with 16GB of RAM by default, so the 8GB version is in limited supply. Translation? Once it's gone, it's gone.

Apple’s new M4 chips are undoubtedly a one-way ticket to enhanced performance across the board on MacBook devices, especially the rumored M4 MacBook Air reportedly slated for 2025 - but Amazon’s Black Friday sale has introduced some major discounts for M3 MacBooks, and I have to admit, they’ve piqued my interest.
