The Apple MacBook Air is a favorite for students and professionals. It’s very lightweight and compact, perfect for carrying between home, class, and work. If you need a computer for casual work and you’re a total Apple fanatic, the MacBook Air is your best choice. Praised for their ease of use and functionality, MacBooks have become one of the top recommended “do anything” laptops for any kind of computer user.

We can’t talk about Apple without talking about style. The MacBook Air is a sleek machine. It has a beautiful 13.3-inch display encased in a sturdy chassis. This particular discount is for the rose gold model. With thin bezels, you get the maximum amount of screen without adding extra size and weight. It’s only 0.63 inches thick when closed, and at only 2.8 pounds, it will fit right into any laptop bag with ease. It’s a great laptop for travel. An 18-hour battery life is just icing on the cake.

The MacBook Air isn’t a super-powered machine. It’s meant more for casual use. But just because this is a slimmer laptop doesn’t mean it’s a weak machine. The MacBook Air uses Apple’s M1 chip, the same one used in the beefier MacBook Pros. Combined with an 8-core CPU, Apple boasts that this laptop is 3.5 times faster than computers with their older chips. If you currently have an older MacBook, think about the power and speed you’re missing out on. The MacBook Air also has 8GB of RAM, enough to run several apps at once without experiencing a slowdown.

Why Buy:

  • Retina display for sharp images
  • Newest M1 chip
  • Last model to include the TouchBar
  • 13-inch screen for easy portability

The MacBook Pro is the Air’s big brother. It has some beefier components, and it’s overall heavier. If you need a MacBook but the Air doesn’t cover it, Apple Laptop Cyber Monday deals will get you a sweet deal on a premiere machine.

Apple makes beautiful devices. The MacBook Pro has a 13.3-inch retina display, Apple’s signature screen. Colors are deep and rich, and images are as sharp as ever. It’s similar to the smoothness you see on your iPhone screen. That screen is wrapped in a stylish silver clamshell chassis, with the option to customize it with any number of MacBook cases. Overall, it’s only a little bit heavier than the MacBook Air, at 3 pounds total. That makes it perfect for students and commuting professionals.

This is the 2020 model, so it has Apple’s famous TouchBar. They removed that in the newest iteration of MacBooks. It has TouchID, the same concept you used to unlock your iPhone, back when they had home buttons. Touch ID will unlock your computer, let you buy things through credit and debit cards you’ve used before, and use Apple Pay.

The MacBook Pro has Apple’s M1 chip, their newest line of microchips. It’s quite powerful when combined with the 8-core CPU. With 8GB of RAM, you’ll be able to switch through apps and games quickly and not get any slowdown. The MacBook Pro is a good upgrade if you’re going to do system-intensive editing, like Photoshop or Final Cut Pro. You’ll have the power and speed necessary — and with 512GB of storage, you’ll have space to keep all your projects.

Should You Shop These Apple Laptop Cyber Monday Deals Today or Wait Until Tomorrow?

Considering these rare discounts are already available for purchase, it’s our recommendation to start buying now. Adobe Analytics reports that out-of-stock alerts across retailer sites websites are up around 124% compared to pre-pandemic, and that number is still going up. If a new, high-performance laptop with a unique, sleek design and programming is what you’ve been waiting for, there’s no need to wait any longer. Learning from the past, we know for sure that retailers are likely to put aside a limited stock of a discounted item such as this. Knowing this, it would be best not to delay what could potentially be an immediate and profound improvement to your computer lifestyle.

No need to stress though. During sales events, there is always an extremely high number of order volumes going through, slowing the transaction process of your purchase and giving you more time to think about it. If you’re worried that you’ll find a better deal in the future, you can always cancel your previous order and take advantage of that new deal to really capitalize on your savings. If nothing else, you can always look into the return window on certain products and use that to your advantage. Typically, products sold in such a manner are required to have a return policy of some kind. Typically a minimum of up to two weeks, you’ll have plenty of time to decide if your purchase is exactly what you want or not.

What’s the deal with Bryson DeChambeau? The Open Championship controversy explained
DeChambeau drew ire and measured responses over the weekend.
Baseball Cap, Cap, Clothing

It was Ryan Fox who birdied the 18th hole on Sunday to win The 154th Open Championship at Royal Birkdale. Despite the electric finish, all anyone's talking about is Bryson DeChambeau, who was given a two-stroke penalty following Friday's second round. The penalty has apparently divided the golf community, but the fact remains that DeChambeau's response to the penalty over the weekend took away from Fox's triumphant moment. And now, word is that DeChambeau reportedly tried and failed to rope President Donald Trump into said controversy.

The drama unfolded after Friday's second round, when it seemed DeChambeau finished the day in sole possession of second place with a -7 under score heading into the third round. At least it appeared that way -- until the leaderboard was updated to reflect a two-stroke penalty against DeChambeau, after officials claimed he stomped on the grass behind his ball to improve the line of his swing at No. 5. That, officials say, violates Rule 8.1, which states that, in order "to support the principle of 'play the course as you find it,' this Rule restricts what a player may do to improve any of these protected 'conditions affecting the stroke' (anywhere on or off the course)."

Spain outlasts Argentina to win FIFA World Cup and cap sensational tournament
Spain's relentless pressure finally paid off in extra time.
Celebrating, Person, Clothing

And just like that, Argentina's luck ran out. Spain's Ferran Torres emphatically found the back of the net from 8 yards out in extra time to secure La Roja a 1-0 win and the country's second World Cup. Torres' goal came in the 106th minute, but don't let that fool you: this was a one-sided contest from start to finish, and a deeper look at the box score reflects that.

I predicted Spain would beat Argentina, 3-1, and from the start it seemed like that prediction would come to fruition. Spain came out swinging, almost immediately recording two shots on goal, including an early header that came so close to finding the back of the net. Spain's relentless attack was evident throughout the match. La Roja applied pressure with swift passing and precision shots. Just ask Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano "Dibu" Martínez, who seemed to be the only one playing defense, making one spectacular save after another, 11 to be exact.

England-France playing for third place an instant World Cup classic
It was only for third place, but what a thriller.
Head, Person, Face

If you tuned in for the World Cup England-France game and checked out at halftime, nobody would have blamed you. The Three Lions led 4-0 at the half in a third-place game that was a blowout. You would have been right to assume England was in complete control and France had all but given up. You also would have been forgiven for turning off the TV and moving on to the rest of your Saturday. But for those who stuck it out, you were rewarded for your patience and loyalty.

France didn't waste any time getting on the board just three minutes into the second half with Kylian Mbappé's first goal of the game. Mbappé's goal didn't matter all that much at that point, except if you've been following the Golden Boot race. England still held a commanding 4-1 lead, thanks to goals from Declan Rice (3rd minute), Ezri Konsa (18th), and Bukayo Saka's brace (37th and stoppage time). Saka would complete the hat-trick in the 87th minute with a penalty conversion.
