The start of a new year is fast approaching, and with it several rumored new MacBooks launching in early 2026. Here’s what’s coming.

TL;DR: Get a Grade-A refurbished 2020 MacBook Air with the M1 chip for $384.99 (reg. $999) and run your business efficiently without the premium price tag.

One of our favorite laptops, the 15-inch MacBook Air, has hit a new all-time low ahead of Black Friday. You can get a loaded version for $1,099 right now, a massive $574 discount from its original $1,699 MSRP. Even if you compare it to the M4 version that’s on sale for $250 off right now, you’re still saving $225.

Apple delays OLED MacBook Air to 2028, focusing on Pro models first. The 2026 M5 MacBook Air will come with an LCD display.

During testing, reviewers found the Air M4 to comfortably handle multitasking, 4K video scrubbing, large documents, and dozens of browser tabs without breaking a sweat. With the new M4 chip, Apple has made the Air significantly faster and cooler than the previous generation.

If you’ve always wanted to get a MacBook but found them to be too expensive, then you’ll love this Black Friday deal. Best Buy is selling the fantastic M2 MacBook Air for only $649 right now, an incredible savings of $350 on the original MSRP and $150 off its usual price, and the cheapest you’re going to find any model with Apple’s latest design.

Battery life is another plus, offering up to 12 hours on a single charge. That's practical if you move between client meetings, coworking spaces, or travel often. Weighing about 2.96lbs, it's a good choice for anyone who's always on the go.
