There’s something from today’s laptop deals for everyone, including Chromebook deals for those who want a basic machine that’s very affordable. However, if you’re on the hunt for the opposite — a powerful laptop that won’t have trouble keeping up with your demands — you should check out MacBooks deals. Amazon, a reliable source of discounts for Apple’s laptops, is currently selling the 16-inch MacBook Pro at $499 off, bringing its price down to $2,300 from its original price of $2,799.

The 16-inch MacBook Pro, released in 2019, remains a very capable device two years later with the 9th-generation Intel Core i9 processor, AMD Radeon Pro 5500M graphics, and 16GB of RAM. Combined with its 16-inch Retina display and the six-speaker sound system, the MacBook Pro may serve as a reliable workstation for users such as students in the creative arts and professionals who are already working in the industry. With 1TB of storage, you have ample space for the software that you need and the projects that you’re working on.

Apple redesigned the thermal architecture of the 16-inch MacBook Pro to include larger impellers and improve the fan blades, for optimized airflow and more effective cooling. Meanwhile, the laptop’s Magic Keyboard offers a responsive and comfortable typing experience, the Touch ID provides quick but effective authentication, and the Touch Bar enables easy access to shortcuts for the apps that you use.

If you’ve always wanted to buy a MacBook, today might be the day that you push through with a purchase because of Amazon’s offer for the 16-inch MacBook Pro. It’s on sale for $2,300, after a $499 discount to its original price of $2,799. There’s no telling when the deal will disappear, so if you want to take advantage of it, you shouldn’t waste time. Click that Buy Now button as soon as you can.

You can still buy the M1 MacBook Air, and it’s cheaper than ever

Apple deals are rarely particularly cheap but Walmart is continuing to sell the Apple MacBook Air M1 with 13.3-inch screen for just $699. The lowest price ever, it’s the perfect entry point for anyone considering checking out macOS. It feels like stock must be starting to run low here so if you don’t want to miss out on one of the better laptop deals around, hit the buy button now before you miss out. Otherwise, here’s what the MacBook Air M1 has to offer.

Why you should buy the MacBook Air M1
The MacBook Air M1 isn’t considered one of the best laptops any more but just because its processor is a few years old doesn’t mean you should ignore it. MacBooks are typically built to last with support for macOS continuing for a number of years. With the MacBook Air M1, you get the M1 chip with an 8-core CPU which is sure to outperform Intel chips of the same era. The leap between Intel-based MacBooks to Apple silicon was pretty huge which is why the M1 chip remains highly potent.

Only recently released, you can now buy the Apple Vision Pro at a discount. Over at Woot, the Apple Vision Pro is available for $200 off so it’s down to $3,299 from $3,499. While no one will be impulse buying one of these, it’s a great discount for anyone who has been holding out for a saving. As with all Woot offers, the deal is only available until the stock allocation sells out so you’ll need to be quick to take advantage of it. If you need to know more, take a look below or simply tap the buy button if you know it’s for you.

Why you should buy the Apple Vision Pro
Apple Vision Pro reviews may not be perfect but it’s clearly a revolutionary product. Our Apple Vision Pro hands-on experience was pretty great. It has typical Apple ease of use as all you need to do is pull it over your head, turn a dial to tighten its knit headband, and then look at some dots to set up eye-tracking. It takes mere minutes and then you’re all set. Simple to use and surprisingly accurate for such a minimal setup, it’s great to use.

Best Buy has a refurbished MacBook for $580, and it’s a good buy

Typically, refurbished MacBook deals, or most refurbished laptop deals for that matter, aren't worth the cost. You can buy a brand-new system for about the same price, especially thanks to the best MacBook deals out there. But that's not the case with a deal Best Buy has available right now. You can get a Geek Squad Certified and refurbished MacBook Air, with an Intel 8th Gen Core i5, for just $580 -- that saves you $320 off the usual $900 price. A newer model MacBook Air is going to cost you over $900, especially when you factor in taxes and shipping. This is the 2019 model, so while it is a few years old, you're still getting a laptop that can go the distance, as Apple's software updates usually keep older systems performing well.

Why you should buy this refurbished MacBook Air deal at Best Buy
Generally, we only recommend buying refurbished or renewed products straight from the manufacturer, but Best Buy's Geek Squad is the exception to that rule. That's because all refurbished and certified products go through rigorous testing, with detailing, sanitization, and cosmetic grading for the finished product done before they're put up for sale. In other words, they take their time to make sure they certify only good products in reasonable condition. Even if a bad egg slips by, they offer a 90-day warrant with extended warranty protection available -- if you're worried about extended coverage. Although extended warranties are available on an item-by-item basis, some may not qualify.
