Get the seriously good Apple MacBook Air M1 for $998

MacBook Air M1 also gets tasty price cut

Apple MacBook Air Black Friday deals

We’re well into the 2022 Black Friday shopping event and it’s your chance to save serious money before the holidays – especially if you’re after a new MacBook! Apple’s wares have traditionally been immune to the annual deals bonanza, but we have seen some discounts over the last couple of years.

Apple’s ultra-portable laptop, the MacBook Air, is also privvy to a great Cyber Monday discount today! Act fast and you can save 17% on the MacBook Air with M1 at Amazon US, where a relatively affordable (in laptop terms) $998 gets you a 13-inch Air with 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD. You get to pick from three slick colour options, too: Space Gray, Gold or Silver.

This is another 5-star product, as we explain in our MacBook Air with M1 review, announcing that “the MacBook Air (M1) arguably becomes the best all-round work laptop for under a grand” with this upgrade. Of course, there’s now an M2 version, but the M1 is almost as good!

You’re also able to snag a generous $150 off an M1 MacBook Pro. The 2020 laptop is currently down to $1194 for a 13-inch model in Space Gray with 8GB RAM and a 256GB SSD. Its RRP is $1,299 – a pretty tidy saving of 12%.

We gave it a perfect 5/5 star score in our MacBook Pro M1 (2020) review, reserving particular praise for Apple’s new in-house M1 chip, which was a “massive step forwards” for the device.

For even more great Apple savings, there are some great AirPods Pro deals – or just head over to browse Amazon’s Black Friday Week deals in full and see what else is out there today.
