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.

The 16GB RAM version of the M2 MacBook Air laptop is the most powerful M2 you can get, and it's hitting its lowest price ever at the moment, ahead of Black Friday. You can get it for $749 (originally $999) on Amazon right now.

Last Black Friday, the biggest saving we saw was on the Apple MacBook Pro 14-inch (2023), which had a £447 discount, taking the price from £2,699 to £2,221.60. Other stand out MacBook Black Friday 2023 deals included the £200 saving on the Apple MacBook Pro 16-inch and Apple iMac 4.5K (2021).

The Apple 2024 MacBook Pro 14-inch with M4 chip, 512GB SSD, and 16GB Unified Memory is currently 8% off for $1,474. Need more power? Then check out the 2024 MacBook Pro 16-inch wi

The M4's single-core performance is between 14 and 21 percent faster than the M3s in our tests, and tests that use all the CPU cores are usually 20 or 30 percent faster. The GPU is occasionally as much as 33 percent faster than the M3 in our tests, though more often, the improvements are in the single or low double digits.

It's true that if you're shopping straight from the Apple Store, you won't see any special deals: For starters, you will likely have to wait until Nov. 29 (the actual day of Black Friday) for its annual gift card promotion, which gives customers gift cards for future use alongside their purchase of an iPhone, MacBook, or iPad at full price.

Apple's latest MacBook Pro is a powerhouse of a laptop for professionals and prosumers. But if you're just looking for something to browse the web and stream Netflix, stick with the MacBook Air.
