Amazon Prime Day runs through Friday, July 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: Most of Amazon's discounts on the M4 series have been holding strong for a few weeks.

There are a few notable exceptions. As we enter the second half of Prime Day, four MacBook Pros (and one MacBook Air) are now $2 to $38.49 cheaper than they originally were when the sale started Tuesday. They still haven't matched their best deals on record — no MacBooks have this Prime Day — but it's some nice validation for anyone who's postponed a purchase until now.

If you asked me to pick my absolute favorite MacBook deal of Prime Day 2025, I'd go with the base M4 MacBook Air that's hovering at $849. The Starlight colorway briefly fell to $829 on June 20, but I feel totally comfortable endorsing its slightly higher Prime Day price. This laptop is realistically a steal even at its full $999 price. 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 biggest discount since launch.

I also want to mention that Amazon only carries the full M4 series nowadays. 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, where you can pick up a $699 M2 MacBook Air as of Wednesday. Finally, you can find a relatively ancient M1 MacBook Air at Walmart for $599. This once-legendary laptop won't meet modern performance standards, but it's technically the lowest price you can get on a new Apple laptop during Prime Day.

Read on for my running list of the best Prime Day MacBook deals so far. (The ones with a ⬇️ by them have gotten cheaper since the sale started.) Of note, none are Prime exclusives.

Best Prime Day MacBook Air deal

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. We also love this laptop for its incredible performance, open-lid support for two displays, and an upgraded 12MP webcam.

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

Mashable Deals

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.
