Retailers are offering their best prices yet on older-model devices before the year is over, and our favorite deal is Apple's MacBook Air M1 for just $649 at Walmart. That's an incredible price for a MacBook and an offer I don't expect will be around in 2025.

If you're looking for other MacBook deals, you can get the M3 Apple MacBook Air 13-inch on sale for $899 at Amazon, and the M3 Apple MacBook Air 15-inch is on sale for $1,099 at Amazon.

These prices are close to the best they've ever been, and it's way past Black Friday and Cyber Monday, which is good news for buyers who may have missed those sales.
