Apple’s new M4 chips are undoubtedly a one-way ticket to enhanced performance across the board on MacBook devices, especially the rumored M4 MacBook Air reportedly slated for 2025 - but Amazon’s Black Friday sale has introduced some major discounts for M3 MacBooks, and I have to admit, they’ve piqued my interest.

Apple Inc. is reportedly preparing for a major update to its MacBook Air lineup, with new models featuring M4 chips set to launch in early 2025. The Verge reports that the updated MacBook Air models are expected to be announced between January and March of the upcoming year.

Amazon is currently offering an incredible Black Friday deal on the latest MacBook Air M3 models that cater to these needs perfectly: the 2024 MacBook Air 256GB 13-inch is priced at $844 after a 23% discount from its original price of $1,099, while the 2024 MacBook Air 15-inch 256GB is available for $1,044, dowm from its list price of $1,299.

While the Apple MacBook Pro M4 launched under a week ago, you can already get a $125 discount on it. Should you get one?

If you’ve waited all year to splurge on an Apple device, Black Friday is a good time to buy that Apple Watch or iPad at a discount.

Early Black Friday Cyber Monday deals are starting to drop, and several new Apple MacBooks —including ones that hit the shelves only a few weeks ago—are available for hundreds less. Translation? Now is hands-down the most opportune time to upgrade to a new laptop.

The more time I spend with the M4 MacBook Pro, the more I think it’s one of Apple’s most interesting updates in years. That’s saying a lot for an update that—on the surface—looks mostly like a spec bump.

They were launched less than two months ago, they are outstanding products, and yet Amazon is offering substantial discounts on them.

The same also holds true for the internals – with no noteworthy changes over the M3 models. iFixit shared their M4 Pro MacBook Pro teardown on YouTube yesterday, stating that the “insides of the device look very familiar.

A trio of retailers are fighting for your money, by offering the 1TB 14-inch MacBook Pro with an upgraded M4 Pro chip at $300 off the list price.
