MacBook Pro deal knocks $500 off during this Best Buy Apple sale

Add as a preferred source on Google

Who says Apple’s MacBook Pro has to be expensive? Not Best Buy, as the outlet has slashed the price on Apple’s laptop Buy at Amazon .

This fire Apple sale applies to the silver 13-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar from 2018. The MacBook comes loaded with a quad-core 2.3GHz Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB of memory and a 256GB PCIe SSD. Normally this best laptop would cost you $1,800, but Best Buy’s generous deal has brought the price crashing down to $1,300. Amazingly, that surpasses the $400 price cut we saw on the 13-inch MacBook Pro earlier in September. Just make sure you stick with the silver color — choosing space grey will bring the price up to $1,600.

Apple updated the 13-inch MacBook Pro in 2019, bringing the Touch Bar to the entry-level model and slight processor tweaks to the other models. Given the small bump the midrange and high-tier models received, this discounted version from 2018 is still a fantastic laptop if you’re in the market for a new MacBook Pro.

Indeed, the $500 price cut means it’s now exactly the same price as the entry-level model from 2019, despite having a far superior processor and twice the storage. For comparison, the entry-level 13-inch MacBook Pro from this year comes with a quad-core 1.4GHz Intel i5 processor and 128GB of SSD storage.

Best Buy is also running a range of discounts on other MacBook models. For example, if you need a larger, more powerful device, you can get the 2019 15-inch MacBook Pro for $2,100 at Best Buy, saving you $300. It comes with a six-core 2.6GHz Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB of memory, a 256GB SSD and Radeon Pro 555X graphics card.

Elsewhere, Best Buy has discounted the 2019 MacBook Air by $200, bringing its price down to $900. That will score you a dual-core 1.6GHz Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB of memory and a 128GB SSD.

With so many discounts, it seems that now is a good time to buy a MacBook. If you’re looking for more deals, you’ll find all the latest and greatest discounts in our MacBook deals roundup, on our laptop deals page, and in our ever-growing deals hub.

Apple has just released its touchscreen MacBook Pro, and there's plenty to get excited about. It's the first MacBook with an OLED display, powered by the M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, and even gets the Dynamic Island from the iPhone. We've heard plenty about these upgrades through leaks and rumors over the past few months, but one thing I wasn't prepared for was the return of the glowing Apple logo.

The MacBook Pro finally gets a touchscreen with M5 Pro muscle and an eye-watering price
Apple-MacBook-Pro-PROLED-XDR-Display

After years of rumors and anticipation, Apple finally unveiled the touchscreen MacBook Pro, or as it likes to call it, the MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR display. 

There’s no new chip, so the focus is entirely on the touchscreen. Apple has used tandem OLED technology (first debuted on the iPad Pro), which rates the display at a 2,000-nit peak brightness. It also features ProMotion (adaptive refresh rate up to 120Hz) and covers both P3 and Adobe RGB gamuts. And yes, the screen also features the Dynamic Island we've seen on iPhones for years.

Google just invited its AI rivals into its own house and handed them the keys to the most important room. Whether that’s generosity or strategy, I’m still deciding.

At its Android Developer Summit on Wednesday, Google said Android Studio, its official app-building software, now works with more than 40 AI coding agents. These include the popular ones like Anthropic’s Claude, OpenAI’s Codex, and Google’s own Antigravity. (via Android Developers Blog)
