Our pick for the best laptop for most people is on sale. A 13-inch MacBook Air with an M3 chip, 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage is down to a record low.

It's true that if you're shopping straight from the Apple Store, you won't see any special deals ahead of Nov. 29. On Black Friday proper, Apple is giving out gift cards up to $200 on eligible purchases of iPhones, MacBooks, AirPods, and more.

Amazon and Best Buy are battling for the lowest price on Apple's best-selling M3 MacBook Air with 512GB of storage.

Amazon is currently offering an incredible Black Friday deal on the latest MacBook Air M3 models that cater to these needs perfectly: the 2024 MacBook Air 256GB 13-inch is priced at $844 after a 23% discount from its original price of $1,099, while the 2024 MacBook Air 15-inch 256GB is available for $1,044, dowm from its list price of $1,299.

Black Friday is practically here and Apple has brought every new MacBook down to their lowest prices! I've been covering MacBooks for over 20 years — including at Laptop Mag and Tom's Guide — so trust me when I say now is the time to buy!

Walmart is now discounting the 13-inch MacBook Air with M1 even further, allowing you to get this Apple Intelligence-ready laptop for just $599.99 (originally $699.99). This is a crazy discount on an already discounted laptop and the lowest price we've tracked. When my colleague Lance Ullanoff wrote about it in March, it was only $699.99.

Here are the best Black Friday laptop deals we could find, including discounts on Apple MacBooks, gaming laptops, Windows machines and Chromebooks.

Right now Amazon has a pretty awesome deal on the 2024 model of the Microsoft Surface Laptop that brings it down to its all-time low price for Black
