Best MacBook Pro deal

Why we like it

Read Mashable's full review of the M4 Apple MacBook Pro.

The newest MacBook Pro is here, and it's already on sale. The M4-chip-equipped workhorse outperformed Qualcomm-based laptops and lasted more than 16 hours per charge in our testing. You can save $200 on the base configuration at Amazon and Best Buy this Black Friday. (It has 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage.) If you've been waiting to splurge, now is your moment.

Best MacBook Air deal

Why we like it

Read Mashable's full review of the M3 Apple MacBook Air.

The current-gen MacBook Air (which has a previous-gen M3 chip) is our favorite MacBook for most people because of its solid everyday power, awesome keyboard, and support for two external displays. Amazon has a new record-low Black Friday price on the base configuration, which just got upgraded from 8GB to 16GB of memory, and Best Buy hasn't managed to match it yet. It's less than $100 more than the older M2 version, so this is kind of a no-brainer.
