Macworld TL;DR: Get a MacBook Air on sale for only $399.99 (reg. $1,499). A good MacBook can go a long way, but the price is a high hurdle to jump. If you want a low-cost MacBook for work or home, check out this MacBook Air. Normally, it would cost $1,499, but right now, it’s on sale for only $399.99. This model uses Apple’s M1 chip with an 8-core CPU, an 8-core GPU, and 8GB of RAM. Apps open quickly, the system stays responsive, and the fanless design keeps operation silent. The 512GB SSD is fast and leaves plenty of room for apps and files. Battery life can reach up to 18 hours, depending on use, which works well for long days away from a charger. The 13.3-inch Retina display has a 2560 x 1600 resolution with clear text and accurate color. Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.0, stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos support, a 720p FaceTime camera, and Touch ID are included. Two Thunderbolt and USB 4 ports handle charging, external displays, and high-speed accessories. At only 2.8 pounds, you can toss this laptop in a bag and go with no problem. This MacBook is refurbished with a grade “A” rating, meaning it’s in near-mint condition with virtually no signs of wear, but stock is limited. Right now, it’s only $399.99 to get a MacBook Air. Sale ends soon.

Macworld TL;DR: This Black Friday deal drops Windows 11 Pro to $9.97. Black Friday always brings big hardware discounts, but one of the most practical upgrades this year is actually software. For $9.97, you can grab a genuine Windows 11 Pro license, normally $199, and use it to modernize a PC or run Windows directly on a Mac. Why Mac users want this If you are on an older or sluggish PC, upgrading to Windows 11 Pro can give you faster boot times, stronger security, smoother multitasking, and support for modern apps and workflows. It is an easy way to squeeze more life out of hardware you already own. If you are a Mac user, this also gives you the flexibility to run Windows through: Boot Camp (Intel Macs) Parallels Desktop or other virtualization tools (Intel or Apple Silicon) That means you can access Windows-only software, games, work applications, or school tools without buying a separate machine. There is also a timing angle worth noting. Microsoft ended support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025, which means no more security patches or updates. Upgrading now helps you stay secure and compatible with newer features. Windows 11 Pro brings performance upgrades that gamers and power users appreciate DirectX 12 Ultimate for ray tracing and higher frame rates Auto HDR for richer color on supported displays DirectStorage support for dramatically faster load times with compatible drives You will also get a cleaner layout, improved window management, and snappier everyday performance, even on older hardware.Get Windows 11 Pro for $9.97 while the Black Friday deal is still running.

Macworld TL;DR: It’s now only $49.97 to get Microsoft Office for life. Mac users who don’t want another subscription hanging over now have a way out. Instead of paying for Microsoft 365 every month, take a look at this Microsoft Office Home and Business 2021 lifetime license. It comes with many of the same apps, but it’s only $49.97 for life while it’s on sale (reg. $219). Here’s what’s included: Word Excel PowerPoint Outlook Teams (Basic) OneNote (free version) These apps run natively on macOS, so everything feels like normal desktop software without any weird compatibility issues.

The suite works with current macOS versions like Sonoma, Sequoia, and Tahoe. If you want the classic Office apps on your Mac but don’t feel like dealing with another Microsoft 365 charge, this license keeps things simple. Right now, it’s only $49.97 to get a Microsoft Office 2021 lifetime license, but this sale ends soon. No coupon needed.
