A quick look at the best MacBook deals on Amazon ahead of the Big Spring Sale:
Amazon is preparing to host its third annual Big Spring Sale from March 25 to 31. The event focuses on seasonal essentials like cleaning supplies and outdoor gear, but in the past, it’s also featured deals on tech — including Apple’s flagship products. Since the company just updated (and expanded) its MacBook lineup earlier this month, I think Amazon will focus more on releasing its remaining lineup of last-generation models.
In the days leading up to the sale, I’m already seeing some great deals on M4 MacBook Airs and Pros. Amazon’s biggest discount so far goes to the 15-inch M4 Air with 24GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, which is now down to $300 — its lowest price ever. (No other M4 MacBook is more than $200 off.) That’s one deal I can grab early, before The Big Spring Sale is officially on, if it ever sells. Apple has discontinued the M4 MacBooks, so if supplies from third-party vendors dry up, they will only be available on the refurbished market.
Amazon’s Big Spring Sale is back: The best deals are already on Apple, robot vacuums, headphones, and more.
If you’re looking for a MacBook Pro with a great display, more ports, and fans that prevent thermal shock, I saw a 14-inch M5 model with 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage for just $1,499.99 (or about $200 off), one of the lowest. It’s the best option for most people, although a few M4 Pro models with 24GB of memory enjoy a similar discount if you’re a professional creator who needs more power.
The brand new M5 MacBook Airs and M5 Pro/Max MacBook Pros are all on sale for $50 ahead of the Big Spring Sale, and that’s about as expensive as they get right now. (The then-new M4 models received a similar discount during last year’s sale.) Look for better deals in a few months with Amazon’s summer Prime Day sale.
One MacBook that is not yet on sale is the MacBook Neo, Apple’s new budget laptop. I doubt that will change when the event starts – the Neo is already very affordable (and on sale) at its regular MSRP – but you never know. A good deal for a MacBook Neo is my 2026 Big Spring Sale white whale.
Note: Deals marked with 🔥 are down to record lows.

The 15-inch M4 MacBook Air may be the ultimate laptop, but it’s still an incredibly powerful ultraportable. In multitasking situations and heavy tasks like video editing, it’s faster than about 80 percent of the models in our current test database (including a lot pricier Windows laptops). It has the same 12MP Center Stage web camera, Liquid Retina display, and 18-hour battery life as its new M5 counterpart, which just offers slightly faster performance and new wireless connectivity. This particular model is pretty future-proofed amid the ongoing RAM crunch – thanks, AI.

Released in October 2025, the M5 MacBook Pro features a brilliant 120Hz mini-LED display; handy ports like an SDXC card slot and an HDMI port; and a long battery life of about 21 hours per charge. The best choice for photo enhancement and video editors. This 16GB RAM/1TB SSD variant is technically a new base configuration: Apple bumped the M5 MacBook Pro from the original 512GB of storage when it announced the upgraded M5 Pro and M5 Max in early March. And, it’s never been cheaper before.
