All this week you’ll find terrific deals on electronics, with retailers extending their sales beyond Cyber Monday and into an entire Cyber Week. These Cyber Week deals include some cracking prices you won’t want to miss out on, like this killer MacBook deal we had to bring to your attention right away. Over at Amazon, you can save $200 on a brand new MacBook Air, with $150 slashed from the price plus an extra $50 off at the checkout, bringing the price down from $1,000 to $800.

If you’ve been wanting a new laptop then the MacBook Air is one of the hottest laptops available right now. In our MacBook Air review, we praised its slick user experience and excellent keyboard, with only some reservations about its price compared to other laptops in the $1,000 and up category. But with this $200 off deal at Amazon, it makes a compelling case for the MacBook Air to be your next laptop, and this is one of the best Cyber Week MacBook deals we’ve seen.

The MacBook Air is a favorite choice for those who travel or work away from home often and need to carry a powerful but light laptop with them. It’s a solid choice for students and freelancers as well as the many of us who are now working from home and need the functionality of a full Mac but in a more convenient and portable package. The particular version that’s on sale at Amazon comes with 8GB of RAM and 256GM of storage, and has a 13.3-inch, high-resolution Retina display, making it suitable for creative professionals of all kinds.

If you’re not convinced about the MacBook Air, there are plenty of other Amazon Cyber Week deals available, including Cyber Week Apple deals, so you could also look into the MacBook Pro 13-inch or the larger MacBook Pro 16-inch.

If you do want a new laptop but a MacBook Air doesn’t appeal to you, then you’ll find a bunch of other laptops still on sale for Cyber Week. To get inspired about what else is out there, check out some of our favorite deals listed below:

Apple AirPods (2nd generation) -- $99, was $159

The Apple AirPods (2nd generation) may not be the newest earphones around anymore but they're still worth checking out at this price. They pair up perfectly with all your Apple equipment with it simple to share audio between two sets of AirPods on your iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV. In conjunction with the Lightning charging case, you get more than 24 hours of total listening time with about five hours via one charge. They take seconds to pair up too before providing you (or your mom), a stable and strong connection courtesy of Apple's H1 chip. Using Siri through these earphones is speedy too.

MacBook Pro with M2 Pro just got an unprecedented price cut

Apple just released the 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M2 Pro chip last month, but the powerful laptop is already on sale from B&H with a $200 discount that brings its price down to $1,799 from its original price of $1,999. It's still not cheap, but it's very rare for a new model to appear in MacBook deals. It's highly recommended that you take advantage of this chance while it's still online, as there's not much time left before it gets taken down.

Why you should buy the 14-inch MacBook Pro with M2 Pro chip
Apple's MacBook Pro M2 Pro is slightly less powerful than the MacBook Pro M2 Max, but for most users in creative fields such as photography, filmmaking, graphic arts, and music development, it's got what it takes to meet the high requirements of the job. Compared with the MacBook Pro M1 Pro, the latest model of the laptop features the same flat-edged design, mini-LED display, and port arrangement, but the performance boost from the updated chip makes the MacBook Pro M2 Pro an even better mobile workstation for professionals.

Amazon Fire 7 -- $40, was $60

If you want what's arguably the cheapest tablet that's still worth your money, you want a Fire tablet. The Amazon Fire 7 is the cheapest of Amazon's cheap tablets. It's not going to set the world on fire in terms of performance or display quality, but it gives you easy access to tons of apps, you can watch videos and browse the web on it, and -- of course -- it's fine for reading books and magazines. It's not a bad little device to consider getting if you have a Prime account, as it'll let you take full advantage of your membership benefits. If you can up your budget just a bit, though, then the Fire HD 8 might be a better buy.
