The best Prime Day MacBook deals at a glance:

Amazon Prime Day is on from July 8 to 11, and as Mashable's resident laptop expert, I'm tasked with hunting down the best Apple MacBook deals. My job has been really easy so far: Amazon's discounts on the M4 series have been holding strong for a few weeks now.

That said, I was hoping we'd see some models return to their previous record-low prices during Prime Day; at the time of writing, none have yet. I'm a little disappointed — Amazon's discounts on Windows laptops are much more enticing — but I can't complain while the base M4 MacBook Air is still hovering at $849. That's a really great price that I feel comfortable endorsing even though the Starlight colorway briefly fell to $829 on June 20: With incredible performance, open-lid support for two displays, and an upgraded 12MP webcam, this laptop is realistically a steal even at its standard MSRP of $999. Amazon's decision to slash that by an extra $150 mere months after its release is kind of mind-boggling to me.

Among MacBook Pros, the best deal I've spotted so far is a $250 discount on a 14-inch M4 model with 24GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. It randomly fell to $1,715.05 three times in May, according to the price-tracking site CamelCamelCamel, but otherwise its Prime Day price of $1,749 is its best deal since launch.

I also want to mention that Amazon only carries the full M4 series nowadays. (You might encounter listings for older models, but they're either going to be refurbished or sold by third-party sellers you should avoid.) If you want a good deal on an M2- or M3-era MacBook, check Best Buy, which is having a "Black Friday in July" sale now through July 13. I'll also be monitoring its prices closely during that event in case it one-ups Amazon's M4 offers.

Read on for my running list of the best Prime Day MacBook deals so far. Of note, none of them are Prime exclusives.

Why we like it

Read Mashable's full review of the M4 Apple MacBook Air.

Mashable's Stan Schroeder called the latest MacBook Air "the best-buy Apple laptop, period," praising its quiet oomph, upgraded camera, "great" battery life, and extremely reasonable starting price (which, again, Amazon has reduced by 15%). In his view, its only flaws are a "low number of ports and the fact that the display's refresh rate only goes to 60Hz." The base model sports 16GB of memory and 256GB of SSD storage.

Best Buy was matching Amazon's $849 deal at the time of writing.

Best Prime Day MacBook Pro deal

Why we like it

Read Mashable's full review of the 14-inch M4 Apple MacBook Pro.

The 14-inch MacBook Pro is one of our favorite laptops for photo and video editing: It's blazing fast, sounds amazing, and lasts all day. (It held out for 20 hours and 51 minutes in our battery life benchmark, making it the fifth longest-lasting laptop we've ever tried.) Former Mashable Tech Editor Kim Gedeon tested a model with slightly less RAM than the one Amazon has on sale for $1,749 — 16GB instead of 24GB — and she recommended it for "creative professional[s] who [thrive] on serious power in a sleek, portable package."

Amazon's Prime Day deal managed to beat Best Buy's Black Friday in July pricing by $10 at the time of writing.
