From the MacBook Air which falls below €1,000 to the MacBook Pro M4 already on sale, there are quite a few discounts on Macs this Black Friday. Faced with multiple resellers, it can be difficult to navigate. Where to find the best deals? Follow the leader.
Promotions on the MacBook Air: a Mac for less than €1,000
The MacBook Air is a very good computer that will be enough for most people. Good news, it's also the one that is most often on sale: the M2 version with 16/256 GB is €984 at Amazon, instead of €1,199 at Apple. The same configuration with an M3 chip is sold for €100 more, which gives €1,084 instead of €1,299 at Apple. You can even upgrade the storage to 512GB for €1,299, which is a steal.
This laptop is also available in a 15″ large screen format. At Amazon, the 16/256 GB configuration is €1,334 instead of €1,599 (€1,679 with the Apple Store reduction). The 24/512 GB version is at €1,794 (-13%).
Amazon is not the only one with good promotions. The MacBook Air M3 13″ 16/256 is €1,099 at Fnac while the M2 model is €999 at LDLC. The versions with additional storage also see their price reduced, which should allow the machine to better hold the weight of the years.

Promotions on the Mac mini: an affordable desktop Mac
The Mac mini M4 is the pleasant surprise of this end of year: it has a smaller case, but a more efficient chip, helped by the 16 GB of RAM even on the entry level. The machine was released recently, but TopAchat is already offering promotions of around 6%.
The standard 16/256 GB model is €657.99, compared to €699 at Apple. The 24/512 GB configuration costs €1,090, and the M4 Pro configuration costs €1,550.99.

Promotions on MacBook Pros: a powerful laptop
Luckily if you're looking for a MacBook Pro: the brand new M4 models are already on sale at Darty. There is a way to obtain a discount of €150 on the entire range, except for the entry-level model where the discount is only €40. The offer is available on Rakuten, but concerns products sold by Darty. To benefit from it, you must enter the code BLACK40 or BLACK150 at the time of payment.
The MacBook Pro M4 16/512 GB thus drops to €1,859, while the 16/1TB model is €1,979. You can even go up to 24/1 TB for just €2,209, which should leave you alone for several years.
M4 Pro chip machines are also affected. The cheapest offers 24 GB of RAM and 512 GB of SSD for €2,249. It is then possible to move up the towers and even opt for a machine with an M4 Max chip, but the €150 will logically be less attractive. The full catalog is available here. Note that each purchase entitles you to Rakuten cashback.

TopAchat is today offering a 6% discount on the iMac M4s, which have just arrived. The entry-level 16/256 GB model is for example €1,409.99, compared to €1,499 at Apple. The silver and green colors are at this price. The more durable 16/512 configuration, adding a Touch ID keyboard and four Thunderbolt 4 ports, is priced at €1,861.19 in blue, silver, pink or green. We will also note some basic machines with nanotextured glass for €1,644.99.
Some promos involve entering the code RAGNAROK at the time of payment.
