How Do I Find the Best MacBook Deal for Black Friday or Cyber Monday?
First off, think about your budget. Perhaps you can’t spend more than £500? Or maybe you’d be OK with spending £800? If you have a higher budget, you’ll be able to buy a newer MacBook (depending on the model, of course). But generally, you can get a pretty good MacBook if you spend between £500 and £800.
Next, you’ll want to think about which MacBook model is best for you. The 3 primary models you’ll want to consider are the MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, and MacBook Retina.
And to be honest, although these MacBooks are catered toward slightly different audiences, they’re all pretty similar, and you’ll want to go for whichever one gives you the best deal.
Below we've curated some OK early Black Friday deals in the market (price check on 27/10/2023), however this is purely for comparison's sake because you'll soon realise that even though some deals seem "not too shabby"- they're still not merely as good as Back Market's MacBook prices:
Amazon UK: there are quite a few price cuts ranging from £100 - £200 off on average for selected MacBook Air and MacBook M2 editions. However, they're all still priced at least over £1,100.
Very: get 13% discount on a MacBook Air M1 edition for £827 (instead of £949).
Currys & John Lewis: grab the MacBook Air 13in (2022) with a 10% discount for £1,119 (instead of £1,249)
Even with some discount from retailers, you're still looking at a purchase over £1K which doesn't scream out a "bargain buy" in our opinion. On Back Market for similar models you can get the following steals instead:
