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.

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.

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 best Amazon deals on Nov. 14 include the M2 MacBook Air, Sony WH-CH720N headphones, M2 iPad Air, and SodaStream E-Terra.

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

Amazon has it on sale for just $749 ahead of Black Friday, or $250 off its $999 MSRP. That's a 25% savings and a new record-low, matching the cheapest price the 8GB version saw. (The same deal was live at Best Buy for the paid tiers of its membership program on Thursday, Nov. 14; it'll be open to everyone there on Friday, Nov. 15.)

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