Black Friday shopping tips

We often find the best savings are for older models.
Be sure to confirm what the generation is of the discounted model so that you know exactly what you are buying and what it’s really worth.
Sometimes resellers switch to selling refurbished or used products once their stock of brand new models run out. Make sure you check that the model discounted isn’t actually a used Mac and therefore not as good a deal as it might look. On Amazon, for example, look for Buy New prices.
Mac deals are not limited to Black Friday. There are good deals to be had all year round, so don’t feel pressured into buying during Black Friday.
For our readers outside the U.S. though this could be the best time to buy a new Mac: Apple looks set to increase Mac prices some point, as it did to iPad prices following the launch in October. Read more about that here: Is Apple ripping off the rest of the world with inflated prices?

Best Mac deals in Apple’s Black Friday sale

Apple holds a Black Friday shopping event, but rather than offering discounts it just gives gift vouchers with certain products. This year you can get the gift vouchers if you buy the following Macs:

$100/£100 Apple Gift Card: Mac mini
$150/£150 Apple Gift Card: M1 MacBook Air, M2 MacBook Air, iMac 24-inch
$200/£200 Apple Gift Card: M2 MacBook Pro 13-inch
$250/£250 Apple Gift Card: MacBook Pro 14-inch, MacBook Pro 16-inch

Best Black Friday iMac deals

Apple 24-inch iMac has an M1 chip and comes in a selection of different colors. The 27-inch model was discontinued some time ago, and while you may find a deal on one we wouldn’t recommend buying it. A Mac Studio or MacBook Pro would be a better choice.

Amazon: 24-inch M1 iMac (8‑core CPU, 7‑core GPU, 8GB RAM, 256GB): $1,249.99 ($49.01 off)

If you want to purchase an older 27-inch Intel iMac, there are deals to be had, although we would suggest that the Mac Studio would be a better choice.

Laptops Direct, 3.1GHz 6-core, 2020 model for £1,589.98 (£209 off)
Laptops Direct, 3.3GHz 6-core, 2020 model for £1,799.98 (£200 off)
