Best MacBook Deals: Big Savings on MacBook Air and Pro in Various Sizes – CNET

Some of these deals are better than others, but we’ll be regularly updating this list to make sure that you’re seeing the best prices available each time. If you don’t see a price that’s right for you just yet, check back later. Some of these prices are extremely volatile right now and are liable to change. For that reason, we’d also suggest taking advantage of deals when they’re available because we can’t promise they’ll hang around for long.

US pricing for Apple MacBooks

While Amazon and B&H Photo have the best prices at the moment, one benefit to paying full price and buying from Apple is that you can customize the machine, adding more RAM or a higher-capacity solid-state drive. The models sold by Amazon and other retailers have fixed configurations. 

Want to go the refurbished route? You can find refurbished MacBooks on Apple’s Certified Refurbished Mac page. Refurb inventory changes rapidly, so you may not always see the latest MacBook Air or Pro. However, it’s worth keeping an eye out because you can lock in substantial savings.

It’s also worth noting that the Apple Store offers students an educational discount, which can trim hundreds of dollars from the price of a new laptop or tablet.
