As a brief aside, the Apple Store's usual Black Friday gift card offer will be live starting Nov. 29; M2 and M3 MacBooks will come with free vouchers worth up to $200. That doesn't beat any of the dollars-off discounts available elsewhere, but it could be a practical option for those enmeshed in the Apple ecosystem.

Apple’s 2022 MacBook Air with M2 chip, 16GB RAM, and 256GB SSD is on sale for $749 at Amazon — a 25% discount as of Nov. 29.

Black Friday is practically here and Apple has brought every new MacBook down to their lowest prices! I've been covering MacBooks for over 20 years — including at Laptop Mag and Tom's Guide — so trust me when I say now is the time to buy!
