I track MacBook deals year-round and right now Best Buy is offering the biggest Mac discounts of 2025. Today's deals aren't just everyday price cuts, but rather record price lows on some of the best MacBooks we've tested.

This Labor Day, Best Buy has MacBooks on sale from $699. The $699 deal is for an older M2-based MacBook Air with 16GB of RAM. A decent machine if you're a cash-strapped student. But you can also get the current-gen M4-based MacBook Air for just $799. Below I've rounded up all the deals available this weekend. For more deals, check out our guide to the weekend's top Best Buy Labor Day sales.

Apple 13" MacBook Air (M2)
Apple 13" MacBook Air (M2): was $799 now $699 at Best Buy

For $100 more, this deals gets you an M2 chipset and — more importantly — 16GB of RAM. That extra RAM is the reason I'd recommend this machine over the M1-based model as it'll give you a better experience when it comes to multitasking. The laptop is remarkably light and thin yet sports a 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display, a speedy Apple M2 CPU w/ 8-core GPU, 16GB of RAM, 256GB SSD, and a great 1080p FaceTime camera. In our MacBook Air M2 review we lauded this Editor's Choice laptop for its versatility and battery life, so don't miss your chance to get one at a great discount.
