We’re rounding up everything we predict for this year’s Black Friday MacBook deals, with all the discounts we expect to see and everything you need to know about this year’s sale.
Black Friday MacBook deals can bring some of the biggest savings of the year to Apple’s premium ultrabook range, and those discounts are very much welcome considering their lofty starting prices. In 2021, we’ll be looking at both last year’s M1 models and, potentially, new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros for some savings, though we’ll likely see the best offers on the older, cheaper models. That’s because by the time Black Friday 2021 rolls around ( November 26 for those who aren’t counting down the days yet), the first wave of M1 MacBooks would have had a whole year on the shelves. That’s a long time in the world of Apple hardware, and considering we’re likely receiving a new design upgrade from two new MacBook Pros, we may be in for some significant discounts this year. That might mean that the best Black Friday MacBook deals will sit on the M1 MacBook Pro, a device that offered some excellent early discounts last year but has since started trickling even further down the price ladder. We’ve already seen up to $200 / £170 off the entry level configuration in 2021, with Amazon offering prices as low as $1,099 / £1,129 over the last few months. Not only do big savings make sense in terms of Apple’s release timeline, but Black Friday’s discounts themselves are getting better and better every year. Adobe reports that savings from the start of Thanksgiving week onward averaged between 25 and 30% last year, whereas previous Black Friday averages were sitting between 15 and 20%. Those after a new computer were enjoying some of the largest savings last year as well, and Apple was, understandably, among the top sellers in this category. With these trends and new models likely leading us into some hefty savings on older releases, we’re optimistic for some high value MacBook deals this year. That’s why we’re rounding up everything you need to know about 2021’s offers right here.
