Welcome to what we are now apparently calling Black Week, our annual festival of paying slightly less for things we don’t need. It’s the most magical time of the year, when children stay up late hoping to hear the sound of deals on the roof and it snows discounts.

Early Black Friday Cyber Monday deals are starting to drop, and several new Apple MacBooks —including ones that hit the shelves only a few weeks ago—are available for hundreds less. Translation? Now is hands-down the most opportune time to upgrade to a new laptop.

The new M4 MacBook Pro laptops can be bought with hundreds of dollars off the list price ahead of Black Friday... just not from Apple.
