Top MacBook Cyber Monday deals: Save up to $500 on MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, and Mac accessories

If you have a backpack with a laptop sleeve already built into it, buying a separate laptop sleeve may feel like overkill. But when a MacBook usually costs well over $1,000, I think the extra protection is worth it. It’ll have extra cushioning if you drop your backpack and an extra layer between any accidentally spilled liquids in your bag.

I like the look of Mosiso’s cloth gray laptop sleeve for just $13 at Amazon, but the brand also has different colors and materials to choose from. My second pick would be this lavender leather-like sleeve for $14.

Extend your MacBook display

MacBooks have gorgeous displays, but there's only so much you can get done easily on a single screen. Adding LG's Gram +View portable monitor for just $271 to your laptop setup will make working much easier.

This portable 16-inch monitor features a 16:10 aspect ratio, 2560 x 1600-pixel resolution, and a 60Hz refresh rate. Whether you're using it to watch a YouTube video while you're working or using it to multitask among open tabs, this extra monitor will no doubt come in handy.

Make your MacBook typing experience even better

MacBook keyboards are widely praised for being better than most laptops, but they’re not better than a good mechanical keyboard. One of the best mechanical keyboards you can pair with your MacBook is Logitech’s MX Mechanical Mini for Mac, and lucky for you, it’s on sale.

Snag your own MX Mechanical Mini keyboard for just $82 at Amazon — that’s $68 off! It comes with Tactile Quiet switches, smart backlighting, and a battery life of up to 15 days when using the backlight. You can connect with up to three different Macs or iPads at once and easily switch between them while working.

If you need a MacBook that's backed up by a serious amount of power, then Apple's M Pro-powered MacBook Pros may be what you're looking for.

One regular downside to these models is the price. Thankfully, Cyber Monday brings deals to Apple's MacBook's indiscriminately, and even the powerful M-series Pro models are getting some sizeable discounts.

• Apple MacBook Pro 14 (M4 Pro 12-Core, 16-Core GPU, 24GB RAM, 512GB storage): Was $1,999, now $1,749 @ B&H
• Apple MacBook Pro 14 (M3 Pro 11-Core, 14-Core GPU, 18GB RAM, 512GB storage): Was $1,999, now $1,699 @ B&H

If you've already purchased a MacBook, Cyber Monday still offers plenty, including a range of Mac-friendly accessories and peripherals.

However, you may also want to consider current discounts on Incase MacBook cases (which are also featured on Apple's official accessories store).

Incase's protective hardshell laptop cases offer form-fitting protection for Apple laptops while also ensuring your device is well-ventilated and all of your ports remain easily accessible.

Right now, you can save between 27% and 50% on selected Incase protective cases at the Incase store on Amazon.

Not sure if you need the portability of a MacBook, stay in the Mac family with an iMac — and when you see the Cyber Monday price of this all-in-one desktop, it might have you convinced it's a better buy over a MacBook.

On Amazon, the Apple 2024 iMac All-in-One is only $1,149.That's $150 in total savings for a powerful M4 desktop. Just be sure to apply the coupon on the item's page before checking out.

This configuration features 16GB of RAM, 256GB of SSD storage, Apple's M4 chip with an 8-core CPU and an 8-core GPU, and a 24-inch, 4480 x 2520-pixel display. It also comes with a Magic Keyboard and Magic Mouse to help you get started right away.

If you're shopping for a new MacBook or looking for gifts for a Mac user, I've got you covered. Best Buy and Amazon have some great deals on MacBook accessories to pair with your Apple laptop.

For example, you can simplify your charging setup with this Anker 112W 6-port charging station for just $33 at Amazon, 27% off its original price.

If you commute with your MacBook or carry it to school, a reliable case is always a good idea. Right now you can pick up a Speck Transfer MacBook case for just $23 at Best Buy, which is a bargain for this top-notch brand.

A lot of people use their MacBooks for creative tasks like photo and video editing, which can take up a ton of storage (speaking from experience). A great external drive can really come in handy. The LaCie Rugged 2TB external drive is on sale for just $89 at Best Buy right now. This drive is perfect for Mac users since it's designed to be Mac-compatible and uses USB-C rather than old-school USB-A.

Lastly, an external mouse is a must-have accessory, so I'm excited to share this deal I found on the Logitech MX Anywhere 3S, down to just $67 at Best Buy. This is Laptop Mag's top mouse for MacBooks and an easy gift idea.

The trackpads on MacBooks are wonderfully smooth, but nothing truly compares to using an external mouse, especially an ergonomic mouse. Pick up a Logitech MX Master 3S mouse in pale gray for just $84 and watch your productivity soar.

I use the MX Master 3S every day with my MacBook Pro and this mouse works beautifully on any surface, no mousepad required, and features an 8000 DPI sensor that you can customize. You can connect to up to three devices, handy if you also use an iPad or have a work and persona laptop. You can also personalize buttons to perform custom actions and keep your wrist ergonomically angled while working.

MacBooks have ridiculously long battery life, but that doesn't mean you'll never run into a situation where you're unable to charge your laptop when you need juice. Whether you plan to travel for the holidays or forget your laptop's at 20% before you leave to work at the library, having a portable laptop charger on deck can be super helpful.

In this Amazon Black Friday deal, you can snag a well-rated Baseus laptop power bank for just $37. To get the full discount, you must use the 17% off on-page coupon and the coupon code F4JY9GPG, taking another 20% off at checkout.

If you're looking for a device for work, school, creative tasks, or entertainment, a MacBook might be the first thing that comes to mind. But is it the right device for you?

Don't get me wrong. I love MacBooks. They're some of the best laptops you can buy. The iPad is great, too, though, and sometimes a better fit depending on what you want to do.

For instance, I always reach for my iPad first when I need to get creative work done on Procreate or Canva. iPads can also be more affordable and great for students, especially when it comes to notetaking with the Apple Pencil.

So, whether you're shopping for yourself or looking for a great Apple gift, take a minute to see how the MacBook and iPad compare. If an iPad sounds like the right choice for you, check out these top iPad Cyber Monday deals:

• iPad Pro M4 11-inch 256GB: $899 @ Amazon
• iPad Air M2 11-inch 128GB: $499 @ Best Buy
• iPad 10 256GB: $429 @ Amazon

Give your MacBook an ergonomic upgrade

Logitech knows how to make the best MacBook accessories, combining sleek style with exceptional functionality. For Cyber Monday, you can pick up Logitech’s Casa Pop Up Desk Kit for only $149 in pink, green/black, and tan/purple colorways.

This helpful kit functions as a laptop stand, which raises your laptop display to an ergonomic height. Nestled perfectly inside are a wireless keyboard and touchpad, both of which use USB-C charging. When you’re done working, everything packs away neatly.

Amazon and Best Buy aren't the only places to find great discounts on MacBooks for Cyber Monday, especially if you're looking for a MacBook Pro.

I found this $200 discount on the new MacBook Pro with the M4 chip at B&H Photo. This is the base model, which, as I said in my review, is an outstanding value even at full price this year, so getting it for $1,399 is a Cyber Monday treat.

The best thing about shopping for the MacBook Pro at B&H Photo is that it offers various customization options, and many other configurations are discounted as well, so click around to customize your ideal MacBook Pro.

The MacBook Air is one of the best laptops available today. Right up until the moment you find yourself a little short of ports, that is.

While the MacBook Pro redesign in 2021 brought back some ports, the Air only regained MagSafe. This isn't a problem unique to Apple's MacBook Air models, though. Many modern laptops, in their quest to be trimmer and lighter than ever before, are leaving ports behind — which can be a real pain for those of us with workstations or expanded setups in mind.

However, there is a solution: the docking station. Specifically, the Satechi Dual Dock Stand.

During Cyber Monday you can save over $50 on this excellent multi-purpose docking station for MacBooks with the Satechi Dual Dock Stand now only $97 at Amazon.

Not only does this docking station supply your MacBook with a constant charge, but it also offers a much wider port selection, acts as an ergonomic stand, and can be fitted with an NVMe SSD to act as an external SSD enclosure.

Protect your MacBook!

If you're looking for solid protective gear for your tech, you can't go wrong with anything from the brand Thule. To keep your 14-inch MacBook Pro safe, pick up this Thule Gauntlet Attache for only $73 at Best Buy.

If you don't need an entire bag for your MacBook Pro, consider Thule's Gauntlet laptop sleeve for just $46 instead. Once your laptop is inside the sleeve, you can slip it inside your backpack before you head out the door.

This isn't a MacBook, but it is the perfect accessory for your MacBook. Pick up a pair of the AirPods Pro 2 for only $154 at Walmart in this pocketable Cyber Monday deal — that's a savings of $95! That's $15 less than you'll find them anywhere else.

If you go out a lot with your MacBook, the AirPods Pro 2 are easy to store in your bag, unlike the bulky AirPods Max. And if you use your MacBook at home most of the time, you can use these AirPods to block out unwanted distractions while you're trying to focus.

The best MacBook for most people

If you are looking to gift a MacBook for Cyber Monday, particularly for a student, this M3 MacBook Air 13, now only $844 at Amazon, is an exciting and affordable choice.

It's light, ultra-portable, and is powered by Apple's seriously impressive M3 processor.

As we covered in our tips above, this is the new base configuration with 16GB of RAM, which helps when juggling lots of different apps and tackling more demanding tasks. The 256GB of storage should be plenty for most people, so save your money there.

The M3 Air is our current pick for the best college laptop, but it's also our pick for the best laptop overall in 2024, so rest assured, whether you are buying it for yourself or a loved one, this is an outstanding choice.

Want the most powerful MacBook Apple has to offer? I can't blame you. I have the same thoughts constantly, and the good news is that a 14-inch M4 Max MacBook Pro is already on sale for Cyber Monday, even though it just shipped last month!

Right now, you can save $300 on this 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M4 Max chip, 36GB of RAM, and 1TB of storage. Those specs don't come cheap, but Cyber Monday discounts like this one make them a bit more affordable. This configuration has the power to do everything from intense video editing to AAA gaming, making it a no-brainer for power users. We gave the 14-inch M4 MacBook Pro 5 out of 5 stars and a shining Editor's Choice award in our review, as well, so you'll be getting a great device recommended by our experts.
