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.

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!

You can buy the M1 MacBook Air for as low as $599 at Walmart in all 3 colors: Silver, Space Gray, and Gold.
