Amazon has it on sale for just $749 ahead of Black Friday, or $250 off its $999 MSRP. That's a 25% savings and a new record-low, matching the cheapest price the 8GB version saw. (The same deal was live at Best Buy for the paid tiers of its membership program on Thursday, Nov. 14; it'll be open to everyone there on Friday, Nov. 15.)

Now it's even better value too, as UK retailer John Lewis has knocked a mighty £100 off the usual retail price in its Black Friday sales. Now just £899.97, the 256GB Starlight model is a true bargain for one of Apple's latest notebooks.

During Amazon’s Black Friday Week, which starts on Thursday, Nov. 21, and runs through Friday, Nov. 29, deals include up to 55% on select Amazon devices including Amazon Fire Smart TVs. There's also up to 50% on denim for the family from Levi’s and apparel from OROLAY.
