Best MacBook Deals: Save Hundreds on These Apple MacBook Air and Pro Laptops
We've found all the best prices on various MacBook laptops, including the latest models of the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro.
Many believe that Apple makes some of the best laptops on the market, and they are well suited for everyone from design pros to students. With some of the latest models, it's hard to argue against that claim, though these devices do come with a hefty price tag to match their prowess. But whether you're ready to get the recently released M3 MacBook Air or you're looking for a new M2 model, excellent deals are on offer right now. We've searched through what's available and have highlighted the best ones below.
Some of these offers are better than others, but we'll be regularly updating this list to help you snag a great bargain when it appears. If you don't see a deal that's right for you just yet, check back later. Prices on the latest models can shift at any time, and those older laptops could fall out of stock as well, so keep that in mind when you're planning your purchase.
US pricing for Apple MacBooks
While Amazon and B&H Photo have the best prices at the moment, one benefit to paying full price and buying from Apple is that you can customize the machine, adding more RAM or a higher-capacity solid-state drive. The models sold by Amazon and other retailers have fixed configurations.
Want to go the refurbished route? You can find refurbished MacBooks on Apple's Certified Refurbished Mac page. Refurb inventory changes rapidly, so you might not always see the latest MacBook Air or Pro. It's worth keeping an eye out because you can lock in substantial savings.
It's also worth noting that the Apple Store offers students an educational discount, which can trim hundreds of dollars from the price of a new laptop or tablet.

Best MacBook deals
You can now pick up the base-model M2 MacBook Air for just $939, which isn't the lowest price we've seen, but it's still cheaper than the updated M3 model.
This MacBook Air features a 15.3-inch display powered by Apple's M2 chip and 8GB of RAM. It also has a Touch ID sensor, two USB-C/Thunderbolt ports, a MagSafe charger and 18 hours of battery life. You can grab it from Best Buy for $999.
The latest M3 MacBook Air was reviewed last month by CNET's Joshua Goldman, who noted the graphics performance has a significant upgrade over previous M2 MacBook Airs. Discounts are hard to find on this just-released series, but right now Amazon will sell you one for $999.
Similar to the deal on the 13-inch model, you can get the 15-inch M3 MacBook Air for $100 less than the list price, although only for certain colors.
The 14-inch MacBook Pro normally costs $2,499, but you can get yours for just $2,099 today. The laptop features Apple's M2 Pro processor (10-core CPU and 16-core GPU), 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD.
The baseline model of the new 16-inch MacBook Pro features Apple's powerful M2 Pro processor (12-core CPU and 19-core GPU), 16GB of RAM and a 512GB solid-state drive. B&H currently has this harder-to-find model at a discount of $400, but only on the space gray model.
The long-awaited M3 MacBook Pro is here, and you can pick one up with a reasonable discount, albeit not the best that we've seen to date. The prices of these machines fluctuate wildly right now, but this is the best available at the time of publishing.
You can pick up the basic 512GB model of the M3 Pro 16-inch MacBook Pro in silver with a massive $200 saving.
