Best Black Friday MacBook deals
How to choose a MacBook during Black Friday
Perhaps you're not sure where to begin. If so, the key to getting the best Black Friday MacBook deal for you is to know what you want. It's not a good offer if you buy the wrong laptop for you so it's smart to do some research.
Apple MacBooks can be broken down into three different models right now so let's briefly take a look at what they offer. If you need even more advice, our MacBook Buyer's Guide has you covered.
MacBook Air
The MacBook Air is the most portable option of the three types of MacBook currently available. Lightweight and sleek, you get a 13-inch Retina display in the thinnest built yet from a MacBook Air. It's also the most affordable pick of the bunch so it's the ideal way to dip your toe into the MacBook lifestyle. It's not as fast as the MacBook Pro and there's no fully integrated Touch Bar but that's not really the purpose of the MacBook Air. Instead, it's ideally suited for college students and folks working from home who need to keep their costs down.

MacBook Pro 13-inch
If you're willing to spend a little more then the MacBook Pro 13-inch is the mid-range laptop choice as far as MacBooks are concerned. The MacBook Pro is faster and more powerful than the Air so it's a great choice if you multi-task frequently with your work. It also weighs a little more than the Air and it's a bit thicker but it's still highly portable and has a good battery life. This one's a good bet if you plan on using your MacBook a little more than simply typing up documents, although it doesn't quite pack a punch.

MacBook Pro 16-inch
The MacBook Pro 16-inch is Apple's high-end MacBook choice. It's heavier than the others because it has a 16-inch Retina display but it also has a more powerful processor and a dedicated graphics card - the AMD Radeon Pro 5600M. If you want to play some games on your MacBook Pro, or you're looking for a laptop for video editing, then the MacBook Pro 16-inch is a great choice. Just expect to pay a fair bit more for the pleasure than with other MacBooks.
