The Black Friday MacBook deals have well and truly started now, so whether you’re in the market for a new one MacBook Pro or MacBook Air for your music production, content creation or everyday computing needs, we’ll be hunting down and sharing all the great benefits right here on this live blog.
Maybe you are ready to upgrade your current machine but want to save as much money as possible, or maybe you want to get a bigger sum and use the savings to get to a better title? It’s common to see Black Friday discounts on older MacBook models, so we’re keeping our eyes peeled for any deals on well-specced MacBook Pros and Airs loaded with the M1 chip – potentially hundreds of £/$ in savings . . We say ‘old’, but Macs with the M1 are still formidable music production machines.
We’re expecting hot deals on the powerful new 13-inch M2 MacBook Pro and MacBook Air models, too. They’re more expensive than full price, so we’ll take any discount right now.
MacBooks sit between the the best laptops for music production you can buy today, thanks to their working pedigree and experience that you won’t need to seriously develop for five years or more.
If you’re looking for accessories to go with your new laptop, such as a monitor, a new keyboard or mouse, and maybe even a bag to carry it, we’ve got you covered here too.
On the hunt for some great deals this week? We round up all the best hardware discounts in our Black Friday music deals page. And if you want to load your new Mac with software, check it out best Black Friday plugin deals.
