Incredible Value: You get so much for your money with this laptop. It’s the perfect balance of performance, portability, and price. Overall: This MacBook Air is a triumph. Apple has knocked it out of the park with the M3 chip and refined design.

Amazon has it on sale for just $749 ahead of Black Friday, or $250 off its $999 MSRP. That's a 25% savings and a new record-low, matching the cheapest price the 8GB version saw. (The same deal was live at Best Buy for the paid tiers of its membership program on Thursday, Nov. 14; it'll be open to everyone there on Friday, Nov. 15.)

The 16GB MacBook Air with M2 chip is on sale for $749 at Amazon, down from the usual price of $999. That's a 25% discount.

Now it's even better value too, as UK retailer John Lewis has knocked a mighty £100 off the usual retail price in its Black Friday sales. Now just £899.97, the 256GB Starlight model is a true bargain for one of Apple's latest notebooks.
