Black Friday MacBook deals: FAQs

When will the best Black Friday MacBook deals start in 2023?

Black Friday is November 24 this year, which is today! So, while we've seen some brilliant MacBook price cuts already, we may see even further price cuts as the day progresses.

Should you buy a MacBook Air or a MacBook Pro?

Apple doesn't have a whole lot of MacBook models lines, so it really comes down to which size MacBook Pro or MacBook Air model you want and which specs to choose. The other major question, of course, is whether to buy a Pro or an Air, since these two are very different machines meant for different kinds of users, and it's important that you don't overpay for more computer than you need, or underpay for one that doesn't suit your needs.

The main things to know is that the MacBook Pro is meant, primarily, for professional users who need specific hardware for their work. This includes video editors, 3D modelers, and graphic designers, among others. That said, just because you are using a Mac for work means you necessarily need a MacBook Pro.

Writers, business users, or other professionals who work primarily with productivity apps such as spreadsheets, text documents, or presentations will find that a MacBook Air has enough processing power to suit their needs, especially if they choose a model configuration with more memory. An M2 MacBook Air with 16GB memory is going to provide better day-to-day performance for these kinds of users than a M3 MacBook Pro with 8GB memory. 

For regular users who are mainly interested in general computing work like online shopping, writing, web browsing, video streaming, and light gaming, the MacBook Pro is very expensive overkill for not a lot of improvement for day-to-day tasks that most users will be using it for, so it's better to save your money and focus on other needs instead.
