Retailers are practically giving away MacBooks right now – shop the best deals from $599

It’s officially August, and it might just be the best time to find a really good deal on Apple’s pricey yet powerful MacBook laptop. Thanks to back-to-school sales, you can score record-low prices on a range of MacBook models, with prices starting at just $599.

To help you find all the best MacBook deals in one place, I’ve scoured today’s offers to bring you the best prices. Today’s deals include everything from the 2020 MacBook Air M1 to the latest and greatest MacBook Pro M4, from retailers like Walmart, Amazon and Best Buy.

All of the deals listed below are impressive, but a few of my favorite MacBook deals include TechRadar’s best-rated student laptop, the 13-inch MacBook Air M4 on sale for $799, which is the lowest price we’ve ever seen.

If you’re looking for the cheapest deal, Walmart exclusively has the M1 MacBook Air on sale for an incredible price of just $599. On the other end of the spectrum, Best Buy has the powerful 14-inch MacBook Pro M4 on sale for $1,299.99.

Something to keep in mind while shopping for today’s offers is that discounts on MacBooks are rare, and you typically won’t find record-low prices outside of big holiday sales. If you’re a student looking for a new laptop, then you should take advantage of today’s excellent MacBook deals.
