Apple MacBook Air drops to its lowest price this Black Friday, plus more MacBook deals
Another Apple Black Friday offer has entered the ring, this time on MacBooks.
We're just over one week away to Black Friday (Friday 29th November), and the deals are still pouring in. This time, we've seen fantastic savings on the Apple MacBook devices.
Each month, the Technology team find the best laptop deals on a range of brands, including Apple, so when it comes to huge sales events such as Black Friday, we can truthfully tell you whether you're making a genuine saving or not. For example, in October, we saw the Apple MacBook Air (M2, 2022) drop in price from £1,149 to £899, and the Apple MacBook Air (M3, 2024) take a £20 price reduction from £1,099 to £1,079.
Last Black Friday, the biggest saving we saw was on the Apple MacBook Pro 14-inch (2023), which had a £447 discount, taking the price from £2,699 to £2,221.60. Other stand out MacBook Black Friday 2023 deals included the £200 saving on the Apple MacBook Pro 16-inch and Apple iMac 4.5K (2021).
As we've already mentioned in our Does Apple do Black Friday? guide, it's unlikely Apple will run discounts on its own products this Black Friday. So, we've searched other reputable UK retailers like Currys, Very, JD Williams, and John Lewis. This year, we've tracked down a whole host of fantastic deals from these stores, like the best AirPods Black Friday deals and iPad Black Friday deals.
Now, we've turned our attention to the Apple MacBook, with Amazon boasting its lowest ever price for the MacBook Air at £919 (for the 13-inch) and £1,099 (for the 15-inch). Let's take a look.
