The Silver option displays an even steeper discount, but we haven't seen this model in stock in weeks, so the current $150 discount offered for the other colors is your best bet. This is still a great low price on the M2 MacBook Air, which should be a perfect laptop for anyone looking to accomplish day-to-day tasks like checking email and streaming video.

Mac deals are in abundance for Black Friday 2025, and the newer M4 MacBook Air is one of the best all-around discounts during this year's event. On Amazon, you can get the 13-inch M4 MacBook Air for $749.00 and the 15-inch model for $949.00, but be sure to check our Best Black Friday deals post for even more Apple-related deals.

I’d spend the extra $100 on Amazon for the M4 model at that point.

A 13", 16/256, M4 is available at BestBuy for $749. I can't imagine saving $100 and losing two generations of chip.

the M4 at $749 is a much better deal especially if you have a best buy card, they are doing 24 months no interest ($31/month) - the m2 doesn't qualify for that.

I can't imagine trying to manage on a 256gb laptop. On a phone? No problem, but a computer would be difficult.

I’ve had one of these since it was launched in late 2022 and am quite satisfied with it (I went for the biggest memory, 32 GB, and storage, 2TB, options to future proof it.)

But I don’t think this is a reasonable discount on a 3 year old processor with tiny storage.

I could easily manage everything except multimedia on a 256, and multimedia could easily be managed on an external drive.
External drives on a desktop are a no-brainer. On a notebook which you'd carry around, toss on park benches and keep on your lap -- not so much. Heck, even protruded pen drives could be a liability with some poor luck, in my experience.
