Laptop Deals

The Apple MacBook Air is down to its best price ahead of Black Friday, which means it's the right time to get one of these added to your cart. In our review of the MacBook Air, our expert Brian Westover gave it a rare "Outstanding" rating and our Editors' Choice award. He named this new model "Apple's best ultraportable laptop yet," praising the slim design, large display, and the performance boost delivered by the M2 chip.

Now available for $200 off ahead of Black Friday, the M3 MacBook Pro is one of the best deals we've ever seen for an Apple laptop. When we reviewed this model, we gave it an "Excellent" rating and noted that it delivers a respectable productivity power and actual gaming chops. "All told, the entry-level M3 MacBook Pro may not flaunt the raw power of some other laptops, but for the most performance you can get on battery and a color-rich display with plenty of brightness, it remains unbeatable," says our expert Joe Osborne.
