The best Black Friday MacBook deal this year?

When I initially wrote my guide to theMacBook Pro M3 preorders, I suggested that we may see discounts of around $50 to $100 on these machines over Black Friday if we’re lucky. This particular promotion absolutely blows those predictions out of the water - even with the various criteria for eligibility.

Generally speaking,Black Friday MacBook dealstend to run anywhere between $100 to $400 off, so this is a really healthy discount in context. It’s also generally the case that it’s the older models that get the lion’s share of discounts on the big day.
