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.

Ferrari’s Lewis Hamilton Narrowly Misses Making History in Hungarian Grand Prix Qualifying
Head, Person, Face

Lewis Hamilton is having a rebound year for Ferrari. Ahead of the Hungarian Grand Prix in Budapest, the 41-year-old was looking to accomplish something no driver had ever done there: earn his 10th pole position. McLaren’s Lando Norris, however, had different plans.

At the last second, Norris snatched Hamilton’s chances at making history in Hungarian Grand Prix qualifying. Norris crossed the line with a qualifying time of 1:17.207 to take pole position, followed by Hamilton (1:17.219) and his Ferrari teammate, Charles Leclerc (1:17.445). 19-year-old sensation Kimi Antonelli (1:17.479) settled for fourth place for Mercedes.

Saturday Packs a Punch With Anthony Joshua vs. Kristian Prenga and Errol Spence Jr. vs. Tim Tszyu
Adult, Male, Man

Your Saturday is pretty much booked if you’re a big boxing fan. But if not for Tyson Fury, the action would have actually started Friday morning with his heavyweight bout against Poland’s Mariusz Wach, which was NOT televised because the so-called Gypsy King opted to save the footage for the upcoming season of his Netflix series, At Home With the Furys. According to reports, Fury squared off against Wach at Max Muay Thai Stadium in Thailand, where Fury secured a seventh-round TKO. Fury’s dominant win sets up a once-in-a-generation heavyweight showdown against Anthony Joshua, provided the British boxing star keeps his end of the bargain on Saturday.

Joshua’s long-awaited return to the ring comes against Kristian Prenga in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, as part of Riyadh Season. It’s Joshua’s first fight since he brutally knocked out Jake Paul at Kaseya Center in Miami in December 2025. While his fight against Paul was a sanctioned contest, Joshua’s last fight against a legitimate boxer came against Daniel Dubois in September 2024. Joshua, who was a passenger in a deadly car crash that killed one of his best friends in Nigeria days after the Paul fight, lost to Dubois via a fifth-round knockout.

What I Learned From John Daly About Smoking Cigars
Body Part, Finger, Hand

I’ve been smoking cigars for two decades. I fell in love with the aroma when I walked into my first cigar lounge, Fair Oaks Cigars, in South Pasadena, California, when I was 21 years old. I remember my first stogie — Flor de las Antillas from My Father Cigars. During my early 20s and 30s, I smoked cigars religiously, at least five per week. I puffed alone in the living room, hours before getting ready to hit the town with friends. On my patio on a lazy Saturday afternoon. In the car during heavy traffic. On the rooftop lounge at the mid-high-rise building I lived in for a few years in downtown Los Angeles. Inside my loft — decked with concrete floors and walls, and exposed pipes — while watching pay-per-view boxing or a Dodgers game.

No matter the setting, smoking a cigar, to me, was the occasion. I never needed, nor do I need now, a reason to light up. It doesn’t matter if I smoke alone at a lounge or with friends on my patio; I love that, for an hour-plus, time slows down for me. Because smoking cigars can’t and shouldn’t be rushed. It’s not a cigarette. From the moment you light up to when you set down the final stub of a cigar, at least 45 minutes to an hour has passed, during which, if you’re like me, you made new friends, formed stronger bonds, and/or reflected on all that is great in your life.
