  "account": "The latest Black Friday deals for MacBooks include a notable discount on the M5 MacBook Air, offering a $200 reduction. The configuration boasts 16GB RAM and a 512GB SSD, now priced at $1,099. This is a significant saving compared to its original price. Additionally, the 14-inch MacBook Pro featuring an M5 Pro chip with an 18-core CPU and 20-core GPU, coupled with 24GB RAM and a 2TB SSD, is available for $2,822, marking a $377 discount. Other notable deals in the market include the HP OmniBook Ultra 14, priced at $1,749.99, which represents a $500 discount from its regular price. The increasing memory shortage has caused a spike in tech prices across the board, with Apple adjusting the pricing of its MacBook lineup in the summer. Despite this, the MacBook Air is currently enjoying a sale price similar to what was witnessed during the Prime Day event in October. While the MacBook Pro deals are not as favorable as they were during the previous Prime Day, it is anticipated that the Pro model's price may further decrease in the days leading up to Black Friday.",
