If you've been holding off on getting a new laptop, now's a great time to pick one up. Ahead of Black Friday, you can snag the base 13-inch M4-powered MacBook Air for $749.99 ($250 off) in multiple colors at Amazon. That's the lowest price we've seen on Apple's slim laptop, letting you save more than ever for the holidays. Additionally, the 15-inch MacBook Air with an M4 chip is down to $949.99 ($250 off) at Amazon in multiple colors, another all-time low.

The 14-inch MacBook Pro with M5 chip is Apple's entrenched, well-worn, and still elegant stepping stone into 2026. In a year's time, we'll hopefully see whole new varieties of MacBooks hit the scene. But I don't much enjoy pretending to exist in some vague futurenot when we don't know how our current economic reality will shape tomorrow's gadget economy. Existing in the now, with the singular new MacBook Pro in tow sporting Apple's latest silicon, you can feel safe knowing it's still a great laptop.

The macOS 26 public beta introduces the Liquid Glass design language across various elements, enhancing visual aesthetics on the menu bar, dock, and widgets.
