Best early Black Friday MacBook deals at a glance
We’re T-minus one week away from Black Friday, but retailers aren’t waiting to mark down MacBooks. In fact, we don’t expect prices to get any lower on the core 2025 models — all of which are on sale right now.
In fact, some retailers, including Amazon and Best Buy, have already officially kicked off their Black Friday sales, and their deals on Apple laptops reflect that. Some standouts include a refurbished M3 MacBook Air for just $570 (a steal over the $599 M1 MacBook Air deal from Walmart) and the M4 MacBook Air down to $749.
Everything to know about Black Friday 2025: Best early deals, sale dates, price matching, and more
These deals beat out what you’re going to find at the Apple Store. As usual, the brand will be hosting its Black Friday gift card promo, which gives you a small sum back to use on Apple products after you’ve made your purchase. (Womp, womp.)

Why we like it
In Mashable’s analysis of the best MacBooks, the 13-inch M4 MacBook Air earns the top spot as the best option for students. It’s lightweight and thin which makes for ultimate portability. Noting it’s sale price of $749.99, Mashable’s resident laptop expert Haley Henschel wrote, “I seriously doubt it’ll get any cheaper on Black Friday proper. That’s a bargain.”
