Best early Black Friday MacBook deals at a glance
Best overall MacBook deal
You might still be enjoying leftover Halloween candy, but the calendar days are rolling by and Black Friday is hot on out heels. While most major retailers like Amazon and Best Buy have the official kick-off date set for Nov. 20, plenty of deals are already on offer that are well worth adding to your cart. Shop great Lego sets, today's best tech, portable power stations, and tons more.
Apple itself doesn't usually celebrate Black Friday, aside from sometimes tossing in a free gift card, but other major retailers sure do. We have great deals on iPad, Apple Watches, and MacBooks ahead the official Black Friday sales. Shopping early means you'll have one less thing to think about and you're likely to avoid any potential shipping delays that can come along with everyone shopping all at once.
If you could use a MacBook upgraded, check out these early Black Friday sales.

Why we like it
In Mashable's analysis of the best MacBooks, the 13-inch M4 MacBook Air earns the top spot as the best option for students. It's lightweight and thin which makes for ultimate portability. Noting it's sale price of $749.99, Mashable's resident laptop expert Haley Henschel wrote, "I seriously doubt it'll get any cheaper on Black Friday proper. That's a bargain."
