The season for MacBook deals is here. Retailers like Amazon and Best Buy are offering some of the best MacBook deals of the year. Plus, with back to school sales happening now, there’s never been a better time to update your MacBook.
For a limited time, Amazon has MacBooks on sale from $849. It’s one of the best MacBook sales we’ve seen. It’s worth noting that Apple recently released the MacBook Air M3. Available in 13-inch (from $1,099) and 15-inch (from $1,299) sizes, the laptops are already on sale as well.
So if you spot a deal you like — our advice is to jump on it immediately because stock tends to run out fast. If you don’t see the listed sale price, try checking different color models for hidden deals. (For more deals, make sure to follow our best Apple deals guide).

How to find the best MacBook deals
Amazon, Best Buy, and B&H Photo offer the best MacBook deals and often price match each other. Here are the prices to look for when shopping for your MacBook:
Current gen
13-inch MacBook Air M3: Released in March, this is one of Apple’s newest Macs. It sells from $1,099 and has already hit $949 at Amazon.
15-inch MacBook Air M3: Released in March, the larger 15-inch MacBook Air sells from $1,299. It has sold for $1,199 at Amazon.
14-inch MacBook Pro M3: Best Buy tends to offer the best deals on Apple’s new MacBooks. The base 14-inch model hit $1,399 over the holidays. Meanwhile, the model with the M3 Pro hit $1,749. On a few instances, the deals required My Best Buy membership. However, Amazon usually countered the price and offered it for all consumers.
16-inch MacBook Pro M3 Pro: The priciest MacBook in Apple’s lineup has hit an all-time price low of $2,199 at Amazon. While it’s rare to find this price, it’s not completely uncommon, so if you can wait it out — we’d recommend waiting for a major retail holiday before buying this machine.
Previous gen
13-inch MacBook Air M1: It’s the oldest MacBook still available, but it’s an amazing value. Powered by an M1 CPU, it offers just enough muscle for everyday work. It’s selling for $699 at Walmart regularly. (It hit $649 very briefly at Best Buy, but we haven’t seen that price since).
13-inch MacBook Air M2: The Editor’s Choice MacBook Air M2 has hit an all-time price low of $829 a few times this year. Amazon is usually the retailer to offer this price, but we recommend checking Best Buy or B&H Photo for this price point as well. It’s the best MacBook value hands down.
15-inch MacBook Air M2: The 15-inch MacBook Air M2 has hit an all-time low of $999. Even the model with 16GB of RAM dropped to $1,399 ($300 off). It usually sells for $1,049 or $1,099. However, stock is running low and seeing this deal is very rare.
It’s also worth noting that sometimes pricing varies based on what color MacBook you choose. So when shopping, we recommend clicking on different colors to see if there are hidden discounts. Also, check out our list of the best Mac VPN and how to check MacBook battery health.
