It’s officially Black Friday season. Best Buy has unleashed its second wave of Doorbuster deals — including a tempting $200 discount on Apple’s 13-inch MacBook Air with the M2 chip. Priced at $1,099 (down from $1,299), this deal is a head-turner for anyone in the market for a premium laptop that delivers both style and performance.

Black Friday deals are already coming in hot with some excellent discounts on MacBooks. Key among them is a sale on the M3 MacBook Air, the machine we consider to be the best laptop for most people and the best laptop for college students.

Holiday Apple deals are ramping up on Amazon, and this loaded M3 MacBook Air makes one excellent gift at the lowest price on record.

SAVE $250: The MacBook Air laptop, 13-inch (M2, 16GB RAM, 256SSD) is on sale at Amazon for just $749, down from the usual price of $999. That's a 25% discount and the lowest price we've ever seen for these specs.

The big day is nearly here: Black Friday is the biggest shopping event of the year and if you are looking for a deal on a new MacBook Air or MacBook Pro you have come to the right place.

This MacBook Air is a triumph,” says one reviewer. “Apple has knocked it out of the park with the M3 chip and refined design.”
