Black Friday is no longer just the biggest shopping day of the year—it’s the biggest shopping event of the season. You need to do some research to ensure you find the best deals. Here’s what you can do to make sure you don’t miss out on a good deal on Apple products.
Black Friday: How to Get the Best Mac Deals
Before you buy always check the generation of the model that is discounted–the best deals may be on older models. These older models may be new units that the reseller is selling off, but they may also be refurbished models, in which case the deal won’t be as good as it looks. You can identify which model you are buying by using the price comparison tables.
Also, keep in mind that Mac deals aren’t limited to Black Friday. You might see a good discount and wonder whether to go ahead and buy now, just keep Black Friday in mind as it’s possible this year brings new all-time lows.
Here are the best deals we’ve found so far.
