Black Friday has brought record-low prices in both the US and UK
I track the best deals on Apple’s stunning MacBooks all year round, so trust me when I say this week is a superb time to buy. Thanks to the ongoing Black Friday sales, we’re seeing record-low prices across the board in both the US and UK.
For example, you can get the latest MacBook Air M3 with 16GB of RAM for just $849 (was $1,099) at Amazon right now, which is an incredible deal. We’ve seen the baseline 8GB configuration hit $799 before, but this 16GB model is the one that we always recommend to people since it gives you more headroom in terms of performance and longevity.
Over in the UK, you can get yourself the still-excellent MacBook Air M2 for just £749 (was £999) at Currys, which is easily a new record-low price. Generally speaking, UK retailers tend to be a little more stingy when it comes to Black Friday MacBook deals, but this particular listing bucks that trend. It gets full marks from me for value, for sure.
As TechRadar’s Deals Editor, I’ve rounded up more of today’s best prices just down below. If you’re interested in even more recommendations, then you can head on over to our main Black Friday deals hub.Black Friday MacBook deals in the US

Top US pick: The 2024 MacBook Air is TechRadar’s pick for the best overall Apple laptop and this is the first discount we’ve spotted on the new version with 16GB of RAM for improved performance. It also houses the super-powerful M3 processor, which is strong enough to support Apple Intelligence and the majority of advanced computing jobs you can throw at it, including video editing, photo editing, and coding. As part of the Air family, it measures only half an inch thick, with battery life that can reportedly last up to 18 hours. If you want a build with more storage, you can upgrade to the 512GB model for an extra $200.

While we’ve seen the Air M1 go for as little as $699 previously, Walmart has beaten that already excellent discount by a whole $50.
