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.

Our pick for the best laptop for most people is on sale. A 13-inch MacBook Air with an M3 chip, 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage is $200 off at $899.

Now it's even better value too, as UK retailer John Lewis has knocked a mighty £100 off the usual retail price in its Black Friday sales. Now just £899.97, the 256GB Starlight model is a true bargain for one of Apple's latest notebooks.

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.

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

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