Amazon is often the home of great Apple deals, and that continues to be the case today. Right now, you can buy the latest Apple MacBook Pro with M4 Pro chip for $250 off. That means instead of paying $2,499, you pay $2,249. That’s not quite the lowest price it’s ever been, but it’s not far off — the MacBook Pro with M4 has only ever dropping to $2,199 at its lowest. For the most part, $2,249 is a sweet deal and one of the better laptop deals around. If you’re keen to learn more, read on and we’ll take you through all it has to offer.

Why you should buy the Apple MacBook Pro with M4 Pro

The latest MacBook Pro tops our look at the best MacBooks for so many fantastic reasons. It’s a true powerhouse of a machine while still looking super elegant and stylish. In our MacBook Pro review, we described it as “the best gets even better.” It offers “record-breaking performance,” with the M4 Pro chip proving to be exceptionally powerful for all kinds of tasks. It also has a best-in-class keyboard and trackpad, which adds to the experience.

Apple is one of the best laptop brands around for anyone happy to use macOS, with it often featuring highly in our look at the best laptops. This model has the M4 Pro with 14-core CPU and 20-core GPU, but it also has 24GB of RAM and 512GB of SSD storage, which is all great to see. A little more storage space would be good, but you can always tag on one of the best external hard drives if you need more.

Its 16-inch Liquid Retina XDR display may not be an OLED one, but it looks beautiful, with 1,600 nits peak brightness, up to 1,000 nits of sustained brightness, and 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio. All that power could have caused havoc for the battery life, but that’s not the case here: all-day battery life of up to 24 hours. It even has a 12MP Center Stage webcam, which is a rarity, ably backed up by three studio-quality mics and six speakers with Spatial Audio and Dolby Atmos support.

The laptop to beat right now, the Apple MacBook Pro with M4 Pro usually sells for $2,499. Amazon is currently selling it for $2,249, so you save $250 off the usual price. Take a look for yourself through the button below.

I don't normally recommend four-year-old laptops -- especially as someone who's reviewed every MacBook, up to and including the latest M4 MacBook Pros. But look -- finding a laptop for $600 that doesn't suck isn't easy, and the M1 MacBook Air is still startlingly good despite its age.

It's $100 off for Cyber Week over at Walmart, bringing it to its lowest price ever. Without a doubt, this is one of the best laptops to ever be sold for $600, and in terms of the best MacBook deals, look no further.

The Mac mini M4 is a killer value, but buy this during Cyber Week instead
The Mac mini M4 Pro on a desk.

When the M4 Mac mini came out, I called it an "absolute steal" at $599 in my review. There's just never been a PC being offered at that price with this much bang for your buck. It's the best mini PC ever made.

But during Cyber Week, it's only $16 off at Amazon. Don't get me wrong, that's still absolutely worth a buy. It gets a full endorsement from me, especially if you're interested in the smaller size or added performance of the M4. But there is, perhaps, an even better deal out there -- at least, for some people.
