If you've been holding off on a laptop upgrade for potential Black Friday sales, I have some great news for you: Apple's price cuts just went live, and you can get a 15-inch MacBook Air (M4) for just $949 (was $1,199). That's a significant discount on a laptop lineup that's typically only held back by its asking price.

Today's best Apple MacBook Air (15-inch, M4) Black Friday deal
Save US$250Apple MacBook Air (15-inch, M4): was US$1,199 now US$949 at AmazonRead moreRead less▼Display - 15 inchesProcessor - Apple M4RAM - 16GBStorage - 256GB
<p>Save $250 on Apple's latest 15-inch MacBook Air (M4), bringing it under $1,000 total. This configuration comes with 16GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD, which I think is the sweet spot for university students and remote workers (especially if you pair it with a cloud storage service). If you want some more storage space, you can double it to 512GB for an extra $200.View DealSave £119.03Apple MacBook Air (15-inch, M4): was £1,199 now £1,079.97 at AmazonRead moreRead less▼Display - 15 inchesProcessor - Apple M4RAM - 16GBStorage - 256GB
<p>Apple is running sales over in the UK, too - the discount isn't quite as enticing on the other side of the pond, but it's still a solid 10% off of a laptop that was already a fantastic value. If you're looking for something lightweight to take notes, create presentations, and watch a few movies, this Black Friday deal on the 15-inch MacBook Air (M4) is a no-brainer.View DealOur Managing Editor, Core Tech Matt Hanson, awarded the 15-inch MacBook Air (M4) 4.5 out of 5 stars, and with a review title like "the best 15-inch laptop just got better," you know this is a phenomenal laptop.
The star of the show here, besides the MacBook Air's petite 3.3-lb (1.51kg) design, is the Apple Silicon chip inside. The M4 processor is an absolute powerhouse that has no business living inside such a small, lightweight chassis. And yet, there it sits, ready to power your everyday computing tasks with ease.
It also lasts 15 hours on a single full charge, so you can get through two full workdays even if you forget to plug in at night.
At under $1,000, the Windows alternatives that offer comparable performance and design polish are far and few between. So if you've been on the hunt for a new everyday laptop, I'd seriously consider the MacBook Air with its current Black Friday discount.
