As a brief aside, the Apple Store's usual Black Friday gift card offer is now live through Dec. 2; M2 and M3 MacBooks come with free vouchers worth up to $200. That doesn't beat any of the dollars-off discounts available elsewhere, but it could be a practical option for those enmeshed in the Apple ecosystem.

The 2024 MacBook Air is currently the #1 best-selling computer on Amazon this Black Friday. This 13-inch 256GB Apple laptop is now available at a record low price of $844, down from $1,099 (23% off).

Thanks to an exclusive arrangement with Apple, Walmart sells factory-new versions of the M1 MacBook Air priced at just $599. That’s way less than we’ve seen newer MacBook Air models priced at Amazon and elsewhere, even during their Prime Day lows.
