Best Black Friday MacBook Air deals in 2024: Holiday discounts offered all year

MacBook Air deals in 2024: what to expect

Black Friday is almost here—traditionally, it has always been the best time to grab deals on any piece of tech. One hot ticket item during Black Friday is the MacBook Air from Apple. As any devoted fan of the brand knows, Apple rarely offers discounts on its products, and that's why Black Friday sales events from other retailers can be enticing

Last year, many shoppers flocked to retail stores to grab the best Black Friday MacBook Air deals. As usual, Apple didn't participate in the sales event and offered gift cards instead of direct cash discounts. Buyers could get up to $200 in gift cards for eligible purchases. Amazon offered a few deals for the MacBook Air, including a $250 discount on the 15-inch 2023 M2 for the 256 and 512 GB models. They also provided a 25% discount on the 13-inch 2021 M1, reducing the price to $750. B&H offered a $170 discount on the 13-inch M2 and a deal similar to Amazon's for the 15-inch 2023 M2. Best Buy matched Amazon's MacBook Air deals and offered a $150 discount on the 13-inch M2. 

Alternatively, you can shop at Back Market where you’ll find refurbished MacBook Air prices similar or even better than retailer’s Black Friday sales. You can get a MacBook Air for as low as $105* with each purchase attracting a 1-year warranty, a 30-day money-back guarantee, and free standard shipping. Here's how year-round Back Market prices compare to retail deals:

Is Black Friday the best time to buy a MacBook Air?

Black Friday provides a good opportunity to grab a MacBook Air from retailers at a discount. It doesn't necessarily mean it's the best time to buy a MacBook Air. Many retailers have deals on laptops long before Black Friday, with some offering discounts as early as October. Nonetheless, the best time to buy a MacBook Air should be based on your needs: when you're looking for an upgrade or when your current laptop stops functioning correctly.
