At the core of the MacBook Air is Apple’s powerful M2 chip. This 2022 processor is engineered specifically for Macs and delivers impressive speed and efficiency. Whether you’re juggling multiple applications, editing videos or simply browsing the web, the M2 chip ensures great performance that can handle it all without breaking a sweat.

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.

Early Black Friday Cyber Monday deals are starting to drop, and several new Apple MacBooks —including ones that hit the shelves only a few weeks ago—are available for hundreds less. Translation? Now is hands-down the most opportune time to upgrade to a new laptop.
