Black Friday is officially here, and if you’re in need of a new laptop, retailers are currently discounting a handful of bestselling models, including Apple Macbooks. Apple launched its MacBook Air M4 in March, and this Black Friday, it’s back to its lowest price we’ve seen.
The MacBook Air is one of the best laptops on the market. NBC Select tech reporter Harry Rabinowitz loves its travel-friendly size, MagSafe charger, high-resolution screen and fast processor. The M4 (which launched in March 2025) has an upgraded M4 chip for improved performance and a special webcam, which keeps you in the middle of the frame on video calls.

4.8-star average rating from 1,449 reviews on Amazon
This MacBook Air has all the same features as the 13-inch M4, including a fast processor and up to 18 hours of battery life, according to Apple. That said, if you prefer a larger screen, it has a 15.3-inch liquid retina display that supports 1 billion colors for working, creative tasks and watching movies.

One of the best laptops for creatives, the MacBook Pro has a few key upgrades that Rabinowitz can’t live without, including 512GB of storage space, a longer 24-hour battery life and a high-resolution 14.2-inch screen that supports HDR content. It’s slightly heavier and larger than the base model, but if you’re looking for power, it’s worth it, says Rabinowitz.
