We’re scouring the web for the best cheap MacBook sales and deals so you can pick up a luxury laptop for less.
MacBook deals are still underwhelming as we reach mid-October, but with Black Friday 2021 just around the corner things could start picking up soon. Perhaps that will usher in a return to the best-ever prices we saw over previous months? Whatever happens, we’ll be on hand to bring you the very best offers on Apple’s premium laptops in both the US and the UK. What if you want to buy one today? Well, let’s start with that MacBook Air model. It’s back to having a small discount on the standard $999 / £999 price. Sadly, the extra $100 discount we saw to bring it down to its lowest price is no longer available at Amazon. We’re fully expecting it to make a return over the coming weeks, though. Offers on the MacBook Pro aren’t faring much better, but this is definitely one to keep an eye on now that the new MacBook Pro 14-inch (2021) and MacBook Pro 16-inch (2021) are due for release later this month. If you’re interested in either of them, here’s where you can place a new MacBook Pro pre-order or follow the latest Black Friday MacBook Pro deals. As for current deals, a record-low $1,099 / £1,099 price was widely available on the entry-level model. It’s now jumped up by around $100 / £100, so you’ll have to pay a little extra if you want additional power in your speakers, as well as that all-important touchbar. It might be best to hold off to see what this year’s Black Friday MacBook deals bring. As soon as anything changes, we’ll bring you all the latest cheap MacBook deals right here, so you can pick up a luxury laptop without breaking the bank. If you’re after a performance boost, but still need that lightweight form factor, the new MacBook Air M1 might be your best bet. Don’t worry though, there’s a serious performance boost in this model but you’re not paying as much for it as you may think. In fact, we even saw some early discounts over Black Friday 2020, so Apple certainly isn’t afraid to introduce MacBook deals on this model every now and then. The new M1 chip gives Intel a serious run for its money, and battery life doesn’t even suffer for it. Plus, you’re getting it all for the same price as the previous model which makes this the go-to for a 2020 release right now. The original 2020 MacBook Air doesn’t look quite so good now that the M1 version is out in the wild. However, as prices start to fall on the early-2020 model, you may well find some significant MacBook deals up for grabs here. You’ll find Intel 10th generation processors with up to quad-core CPUs available here. Plus, this model was the first to offer 256GB of storage space at entry level, with up to 16GB RAM on offer as well. Like the M1 model, the entry level 2020 MacBook Air also starts at a lower sub-$1,000 / £1,000 price. The new M1 MacBook Pro is now available, which means you’ll want to decide whether you go for a potentially cheaper price point with the previous generation or what looks like a stark performance upgrade with Apple’s own chip.
