Currently, you can still get as much as $200 off some of the latest (and truly greatest) MacBooks, powered by Apple's shiny new M1 chip. The MacBook Pros have seen the steepest cuts, while the new MacBook Air has seen a more modest price drop.

Apple is also offering better sales for its refurbished M1 MacBook Airs. Both MacBooks make our list of the best laptops, so you can't go wrong with either one. But don't wait too long, or else you'll miss out on the very best price for a new MacBook Air or MacBook Pro.

How to find the best MacBook deals

Amazon and Best Buy (opens in new tab) tend to offer the best MacBook deals. The MacBook Air M1 and the MacBook Pro M1 usually go on sale for $50 to $150 off. However, we've noticed that Amazon offers slightly better MacBook sales that its competitors. For instance, the new M1 MacBook Air has dropped to $899 a few times at Amazon, whereas Best Buy has yet to offer it at this price. Walmart, on the other hand has taken $50 off the M1 MacBook Air as part of its Deals for Days promotion.

If you're looking for deals on previous-gen MacBooks, B&H Photo is a good place to start, particularly because they usually have stock of the older MacBooks. However, keep in mind that the new MacBook Air M1 is the better bargain (especially if it's on sale). That said, B&H Photo has a number of the Intel-powered MacBook Airs on sale right now (opens in new tab).
