If you’ve been looking to upgrade your MacBook, now might be the perfect time thanks to Prime Day deals on Apple devices. Right now

Apple’s 13-inch MacBook Pro

is almost $200 off right now, bringing its price down to an eye-popping low of just $1,100. If you want to spend a little less you can grab the 2018 13-inch MacBook Air for just $999 from B&H.

That absolute bargain bags you the 2018 model with a 2.3GHz Intel i5 processor with Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz, 8GB of memory, a 128GB super-fast SSD and two Thunderbolt 3 ports. As well as that, you get a crisp Retina display, Apple’s superb Force Touch trackpad, plus the T2 Security Chip for extra on-device security.

Apple recently upgraded its entry-level 13-inch MacBook Pro to give it a slightly faster processor and the Touch Bar, which we suspect is why the 2018 model has been lowered to such a great price. If you’re not all that concerned about the Touch Bar and want the best price on a recent MacBook Pro you’ll find anywhere, this is still a great deal.

If you fancy upgrading to the

2019 13-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar

, you’re in luck there too, as Amazon has knocked $110 off its price just for Prime Day. You can pick one up for $1,689, which is an excellent price for the latest MacBook Pro.

And if you just need the most power you can get in a MacBook Pro, the

2019 15-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar

has had a hefty price cut of $240 for Prime Day. That drops its price to $2,559 and includes a monstrous Intel eight-core i9 processor, a 512GB SSD and powerful Radeon Pro 560X graphics card.

With so many MacBook Pro deals on Prime Day, now is the time to make a move if you’re in the market for a new Apple laptop.

Looking for a different laptop? You’ll want to head over to our round-up of the best laptop deals for Prime Day, which is stacked full of fantastic bargains and price cuts. For example, the HP Spectre x360 2-in-1 currently has a huge $625 off — when we reviewed it, we gave it a perfect score, an Editor’s Choice award, and called it a “pure joy to use” — so don’t miss out on that and other great Prime Day bargains.
