MacBook deals have never been better. Currently, every Mac laptop is on sale. MacBook deals can be found at Amazon, Best Buy, and B&H Photo this week. And we expect prices to remain low as retailers slash prices for the start of the new school semester. 

That said, if you spot a deal you like — our advice is to jump on it immediately because stock tends to run out fast. If you don't see the listed sale price, try checking different color models for hidden deals. (For more deals, make sure to follow our best Apple deals guide). Also, make sure to check out our guide on the best Apple coupons and best MacBooks for college students.

How to find the best MacBook deals

Amazon and Best Buy tend to offer the best MacBook deals. The MacBook Air M1 and the MacBook Pro M1 tend to see from $50 to $250 off discounts. However, we've noticed that Amazon offers slightly better MacBook sales that its competitors. For instance, the M1 MacBook Air has dropped to $799 a few times at Amazon. Even the M2 MacBook Air has seen $200 off discounts at Amazon. 

If you're looking for MacBook Pro deals — you'll want to look at Amazon, Best Buy, and B&H Photo. The 14-inch MacBook Pro has hit $1,599 a few times at Amazon, Best Buy, and B&H. The 16-inch model has also seen $400 off discounts at Amazon. (It briefly hit $1,999 a few times at Amazon). These short-lived deals are the best prices we've seen for these MacBooks to date. 

It's also worth noting that sometimes pricing varies based on what color MacBook you choose. So when shopping, we recommend clicking on different colors to see if there are hidden discounts.
