If you’ve been holding off on a laptop upgrade for potential Black Friday sales, I have some great news for you: Apple’s price cuts just went live, and you can get a 15-inch MacBook Air (M4) for just $949 (was $1,199). That’s a significant discount on a laptop lineup that’s typically only held back by its asking price.

And it’s the laptop I wholeheartedly recommend for college students and remote workers.

Save $250 on Apple’s latest 15-inch MacBook Air (M4), bringing it under $1,000 total.

Apple is running sales over in the UK, too – the discount isn’t quite as enticing on the other side of the pond, but it’s still a solid 10% off of a laptop that was already a fantastic value. If you’re looking for something lightweight to take notes, create presentations, and watch a few movies, this Black Friday deal on the 15-inch MacBook Air (M4) is a no-brainer.View Deal
Our Managing Editor, Core Tech Matt Hanson, awarded the 15-inch MacBook Air (M4) 4.5 out of 5 stars, and with a review title like “the best 15-inch laptop just got better,” you know this is a phenomenal laptop.
The star of the show here, besides the MacBook Air’s petite 3.3-lb (1.51kg) design, is the Apple Silicon chip inside. The M4 processor is an absolute powerhouse that has no business living inside such a small, lightweight chassis. And yet, there it sits, ready to power your everyday computing tasks with ease.
It also lasts 15 hours on a single full charge, so you can get through two full workdays even if you forget to plug in at night.
At under $1,000, the Windows alternatives that offer comparable performance and design polish are far and few between. So if you’ve been on the hunt for a new everyday laptop, I’d seriously consider the MacBook Air with its current Black Friday discount.

Newer M3 and M4 models are now available, but this is an unbelievable price for a 13-inch MacBook Air with an M2 chip. While it’s an older model, it remains an incredibly powerful laptop for those who need a premium powerhouse for school, productivity, coding, or creative work. You also get double the RAM at 16GB (compared with, for example, a base Air M3), although the 256GB of storage feels a little paltry in 2025. Still, we rated it highly in our MacBook Air M2 review, thanks to the stylish design, clear display, impressive performance, and long 18-hour battery life.View Deal
