How did I choose these MacBook deals?

The Apple MacBook is one of the most desirable laptops on the market at the moment. With plenty of power, great optimized software and long battery life, they are hugely popular. Discounts aren't common however. They also keep their value and rarely get discounted, so it's extra important to keep an eye on what's happening with MacBook prices, something I'm constantly doing. I've picked a selection of the best MacBook models, based around those that offer the biggest discount, the lowest price or the most popular models which are most convenient for buyers. These models have also been tested and reviewed on Pocket-lint, so come recommended.

Which MacBook deal should you choose?

Choosing the best MacBook for you comes down to a number of factors. Ultimately, however, budget needs to be considered - what can you actually afford to spend? Black Friday makes that a little easier with great discounts, but then you need to think about what you're going to be doing with your MacBook. If it's mostly word processing, browsing and emails, then the MacBook Air is perfect for you. There will be plenty of power, battery life and portability. If you have greater demands, like a lot of photo editing or video processing, then I'd recommend the MacBook Pro. The MacBook Pro has the advantage of offering greater connectivity and more graphical grunt. Also watch out for RAM and storage - external storage is pretty affordable right now so you can have external files, but RAM is fixed and not upgradable, so make sure you're buying a MacBook that's powerful enough for your needs.
