The MacBook Air and MacBook Pro discounts look strongest when stacked with PayPal Pay in 4 or PayPal cash back, open box pricing, or cash back sites, with some purchases landing near $525 to $650 before tax. The 13 inch and 15 inch Airs are praised for speed, portability, and a noticeably larger screen at 15 inches, while the 24GB and 512GB configurations get the most love for extra headroom. The main hesitation is the 16GB and 256GB base setup, which feels tight for long term use and storage. PayPal eligibility and open box availability can be inconsistent, so the best price depends on the checkout path and stock.

Common Questions (6)

  • For basic homework, web browsing, and email, 16GB is reported as enough, and one 16GB machine handled about 8 resource-heavy tabs in a lightweight Debian test. For heavier multitasking, IntelliJ, many Chrome tabs, or keeping the laptop for 5+ years, 24GB gives more headroom.

  • Yes. The PayPal Pay in 4 flow can work at Best Buy, and the 20% back posts as PayPal points. The points show as pending right away and are reported to arrive within 90 days; the promo can also apply to the full after-tax purchase price.

  • Select PayPal at Best Buy checkout, then complete Pay in 4 inside the PayPal window rather than on Best Buy's page. The offer may not appear in Best Buy's checkout itself, and eligibility can vary by account.

  • Open-box units have been bought with the PayPal 20% offer, but some open-box listings do not qualify. One open-box excellent purchase showed the discount working, while another open-box excellent listing did not accept the 20% offer.

  • The 15-inch gives noticeably more screen real estate than the 13-inch, and that difference is easy to feel in daily use. If you prefer a larger display and are already used to 15-inch laptops, the 15-inch Air is the safer pick.

  • 256GB is the more common concern than 16GB for many shoppers, especially if you keep lots of files locally. One buyer with the 16/256 model still had 188GB free after setup, so it can be fine if your storage needs are light and you use cloud storage.

Best Buy early black friday deal. Fine print confirms price match if price drops further (on Best Buy) during the holiday season.

Walmart has the same price [walmart.com]

16GB on the MBP is ridiculous.

Was waiting for BB. Got an excellent open box base model for 650 + tax, and stacked with PayPal 20% back. Pretty darn good deal. Using for school.

Thanks, ordered the 13" M4 16/256 using the PayPal 20% rewards Pay-In-4 promotion. Was planning on having BB price match Amazon, but this made it easier.
Is the 20% off applied immediately after you choose Pay in 4?

The promotion is for 20% back in PayPal points. They show up as pending immediately, but it says they will arrive within 90 days.

Just picked one up and combined it with the PayPal cash back offer. No sales tax in Delaware so after cash back it's $600. Coming from a Air M2 8GB. No more memory swap😁

Does that you mean you get 20% back to purchase anything using PayPal?

You can redeem the points as cash back to your PayPal balance (and then transfer to your bank if you want), or when checking out with PayPal.

If you are doing a trade in with a old macbook. Will it just deduct the cost of the macbook from the final cost?

I have a freeze on my credit report at the 3 credit bureaus. Do I have to unfreeze them before doing the PayPal 20% deal. It says they do a credit check.

Hmm...I don't see the ability to pay later on Best Buy's site. I do have the Pay with Paypal option, but the only Paypal options for me are "Pay in Full" or "PayPal Mastercard" ...how'd you get it to work?

Thanks
I am also having this problem....anyone else get this and how to solve?
