While Black Friday deals are always a great way to save money on pricey tech, this is a particularly exciting time for those of us looking to upgrade to a new MacBook. We’ve been waiting all year for MacBook Pro deals to hit, and after some scouting we’ve found some great offers, like this MacBook Pro 14-inch laptop, down from $1,999.99 to just $1,599 at Best Buy, saving you $400.

In the UK, meanwhile, Amazon has the M1 MacBook Pro 16-inch laptop for £2,129, down from £2,399 which is a pretty decent drop for a big boy MacBook Pro ready to handle anything you can throw at it. 

Refurbished MacBook deals can give you some of the best bang for your buck. In the US, this refurbished MacBook Pro 15.4-inch is down from $2,799,99 to just $1,899.99 at Best Buy, saving you a mighty $900.
