Apple M4 MacBook Air on a yellow background
Apple/CNET

Apple makes some of our favorite laptops right now, and it's been that way for a long time now. Between the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro, there are machines for gamers and digital nomads alike. But there's one thing that the entire lineup has in common -- none of Apple's portable Macs are particularly cheap. Best Buy's latest laptop sale certainly helps, though, with discounts of up to $700 available on Apple's latest and previous-gen machines.

This sale includes machines from across the entire range, from entry-level offerings all the way to a beast of a machine with more RAM and storage than most people will ever need. That means that there should be a deal for everyone right here, but you should act fast -- these deals aren't going to be around forever.

If you're looking for the biggest discount possible, look no further than the 14-inch M3 Max MacBook Pro. This machine comes with 36GB of RAM and an incredible 30-core GPU. That's all backed up by a full 1TB of storage and would normally retail for around $3,100. Today, you can save $700 and get that same machine for just $2,399 in either silver or space black.

Looking to get a great laptop for as little as possible? Best Buy is selling the 13-inch M2 MacBook Air for just $699, saving you $100. There are multiple colors on offer, and they all come with 16GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD.

There are plenty of options in between those two prices. One example is the 13-inch M4 MacBook Air with 16GB and 256GB of storage, a machine that normally sells for just shy of $1,000. This laptop, again in multiple colors, can be on your desk for just $849 if you take advantage of this sale. It's one of the better-value deals, since this laptop is only a few months old.

Why this deal matters

You don't always have to buy the latest model when buying an Apple laptop, not least because the previous-gen M-series chips are so fast. Unless you need the best-possible performance, we suggest considering an older model if the price is right, but even the latest, most powerful models are discounted at Best Buy right now. Just make sure to take advantage of this sale before it comes to a close.
