Best Cyber Monday MacBook deals

The 2020 MacBook Air is effectively the Mac starter kit, and we mean that in a good way. Well-priced and with plenty to love, it’s ideal if you’re new to Macs or simply looking to upgrade from an existing Mac system. With a great keyboard, excellent build quality, and far superior performance than past models, it’s a great choice even if it’s not quite the latest MacBook Air anymore. Our MacBook Air buying guide lays out everything you need to know about picking out a MacBook Air, but we also have a breakdown of other things you need to know before buying one of the best MacBooks.

In the case of this MacBook Air, you get the Apple M1 processor, which provides superior performance compared to Intel-based MacBooks. This also means you get to reap the benefit of better battery management, as this laptop will last you up to 18 hours. That means there’s no need to find a power source throughout the working day and beyond for most users. You’d think that would mean inferior speed, but the M1 chip delivers up to 3.5x faster performance than the previous generation of MacBook Airs. Somehow, it does all that with a fanless design that lets it run super quietly while still remaining very cool.

The benefits of the 2020 MacBook Air don’t stop there, either. You also get a stunning 13.3-inch Retina display that looks fantastic. Text is sharp and clear, while colors look incredibly vibrant. It’s the kind of experience that will make you question how you put up with regular HD screens till now. You also get a convenient FaceTime HD camera, Touch ID support — so you can log in easily with a touch of your finger — and a backlit keyboard. Everything about the MacBook Air is attractively designed, so it’s a really stylish system that’s ideal for working, studying, or simply relaxing at home.

At its heart, the MacBook Pro has an Apple-designed M1 chip that represents a huge leap in performance for Apple systems. Its 8-core CPU delivers up to 2.8-times faster performance than previous generations of the MacBook Pro. Its GPU provides up to five times faster graphics, making it ideal for video editing, photo editing, and even some light gaming. Combined with that is a 16-core Neural Engine that provides advanced machine learning for all-around superior performance. Despite all that power, you somehow still get to enjoy up to 20 hours of battery life — the longest ever seen on a Mac laptop. It’s the kind of battery life that means you’re likely to not need to recharge it for a couple of days at a time, which is sure to be useful.

The MacBook Pro continues to be smart and convenient. It has a good amount of storage — 512GB to be exact — along with 8GB of memory, so it can multitask pretty well. Its 13.3-inch Retina display is predictably gorgeous. With 500 nits of brightness, you’re guaranteed vibrant colors and incredible image detail. It’s a real game-changer, especially if you plan on doing a lot of creative work on the system. There’s also a FaceTime HD camera for taking video calls for work or pleasure. Even the MacBook Pro’s keyboard feels great and is comfortable to tap on for extended periods of time. It also includes a Touch Bar at the top of the keyboard for personalized interactions with specific apps. Simply put, everything about the MacBook Pro is incredibly convenient and simple to use. It’s just what you need for both work and fun.
