Amazon and Best Buy are battling for the lowest price on Apple's best-selling M3 MacBook Air with 512GB of storage.

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 $255: As of Nov. 28, Apple’s 2024 MacBook Air (15-inch) with M3 chip is $1,044 at Amazon as part of Black Friday deals. That’s a $255 discount from its $1,299 list price.

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.

So what are the best Black Friday MacBook deals so far? For me, it's the MacBook Air M2 for $749 on Amazon, which is $150 off. Meanwhile, the brand-new MacBook Pro 14-inch with the M4 chip is $125 off.

A solid Apple deal is rarer than finding a lightning port in the wild right now, but thanks to the Amazon Black Friday sale, the 2024 Macbook Air (13-Inch) is $255 off. That's the latest and sleekest-looking Macbook, down from $1,099 to a classy $844, so this is the time to bite on a solid upgrade powered by the powerhouse M3 chip.

If you need a cheap, portable Mac, then check out Amazon's deal on the 13-inch MacBook Air with M3, offered at $255 off the retail price.

While the latest M3 model is great, last year's 15-inch MacBook Air with an M2 chip remains an excellent laptop choice, especially with this deal.
