Black Friday MacBook deals shopping tips
- While the deepest discounts are on the oldest models, I don't recommend that you buy an M1 MacBook in 2024.
- The later M2 chip is powerful enough for many users, but if you are going to hang on to your laptop for 5-10 years then you should consider opting for an M3 or forthcoming M4 MacBook.
- MacBooks are not upgradeable, so make sure to buy sufficient RAM and storage. In general, we recommend at least 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.
- If you aren't sure which MacBook is right for you we have a variety of guides to help you: MacBook Air vs. MacBook Pro, Best MacBook for College Students, and Best Apple laptop.
- There are no bad choices with the current MacBook lineup, so it's just a matter of finding which is the right one for you, and with all-time low prices on many models this is the perfect time to buy a new MacBook.
Not every deal is worth a squeal. Get only the good stuff from us.
The deal scientists at Laptop Mag won't direct you to measly discounts. We ensure you'll only get the laptop and tech sales that are worth shouting about -- delivered directly to your inbox this holiday season.
