The Cyber Monday frenzy is here, and there huge MacBook deals that you must buy before the clock strikes midnight (December 2nd). These days, most of the best Cyber Monday laptop deals , and we expect this year to follow suit.

As someone who covers laptops professionally, I’ve identified the standout MacBook deals still available. The highlights include the MacBook Air M3 discounted to just $899, and the just-released MacBook Pro M4 for $1,399 at Amazon ($200 off). These are the lowest prices yet on some of the year’s top laptops, making now the perfect time to tick your MacBook off the shopping list.

All MacBooks with an M1 or newer chip support Apple Intelligence, but newer models offer improved performance, battery life, and added features. For instance, when comparing the MacBook Air M3 vs. Air M2, the Air M3 boasts faster Wi-Fi 6E and dual-monitor support. That said, M1 chips remain impressive—my own MacBook Pro M1 Max still runs as seamlessly as it did the day I bought it.

Here are all the best Cyber Monday MacBook deals!

As much as you might expect us to always recommend the latest (and therefore most expensive) MacBook, that's definitely not the case.

However, for some people and use cases, the extra power makes the investment in the newest Apple laptops make sense, but that doesn't mean you can't still protect your bank balance.

The MacBook Pro 14 (M4) comes from the latest crop of Apple devices, so has the top compatibility and hardware, but this model is currently down it's lowest ever price right now at Amazon.

So for just under $1,400 you get Apple's fastest chip to date, access to iPhone apps directly on your desktop, and with the latest edition of macOS, iPhone mirroring, allowing you to control your phone right from your MacBook.

Apple MacBook Air M1 (late 2020) review

Yep, we're still talking about the M1 MacBook Air. You may chuckle that I'm bringing up a 4 year old laptop, but this leapfrog system is still pretty damn good to this day.

The M1 chip is more than enough for the vast majority of your casual productivity needs, and that 14 hours of battery life is still mightily impressive. Sure, there are newer options that are faster and last longer, but if you want a dirt cheap MacBook, this is the one to get.

The cost of upgrading your MacBook's internal storage can rack up quick. For example, 2TB of storage costs $400! Why waste your money when you could get an external SSD like the impressively small SanDisk Extreme 2TB for way cheaper.

The keyboard on a MacBook is great and all, but the best typing experience at home is always going to be a mechanical board.

And the excellent Keychron K2 mechanical keyboard (with Gateron G Pro Brown switches) is still at its lowest price!
