The ink is still warm on Apple’s 16-inch MacBook Pro press release, yet you can already save $100 on the new Apple laptop thanks to Best Buy, which is offering the discount exclusively to Best Buy members.

The discount applies to four different configurations of the just-launched laptop, covering a range of different spec options and colors. Here are the models you can score a saving on:

While there are no discounts on any other models — including those with the record-breaking 8TB SSD or whopping 64GB RAM — these are still excellent deals given the 16-inch MacBook Pro literally came out yesterday. It’s extremely rare for an Apple product to receive a discount this close to launch, and given the excitement that’s been generated around the 16-inch MacBook Pro in recent months, this offer from Best Buy is definitely worth a look.

Best of all, you can get the discounts for free, as it doesn’t cost a thing to become a Best Buy member. Just sign up on the Best Buy website and you’ll automatically be in line for the deal.

The 16-inch MacBook Pro had been rumored for months before its recent launch. It has replaced the MacBook Pro 15, and comes with much slimmer bezels, improved graphics chips, better speakers and a 100 watt-hour battery.

Perhaps the best improvement, though, is the keyboard. Apple’s previous butterfly design was failure-prone and had a noticeably low travel distance, making it somewhat unpopular with MacBook users. That’s now been ditched, and the new scissor-switch keyboard brings greater travel, quieter key taps and increased longevity, according to Apple.

We’ll be reviewing the 16-inch MacBook Pro as soon as we get our hands on it, so check back for that. And if you want one of Apple’s brand-new laptops right now, make sure you take advantage of this excellent launch-day deal.

A mouse with a touchscreen just hit Kickstarter, and its feature list borders on insanity
The Super Mouse packs a full keyboard, motion controls, and more shortcuts than anyone could reasonably ask for.
Arctic Fox Super Mouse with touchscreen

The absolutely absurd idea of putting a touchscreen display on a mouse isn't exactly new. Turtle Beach already did it with its Command Series MC7, which features a 2.25-inch control screen. But apparently, even that wasn't ridiculous enough for Arctic Fox Technologies. Its new Super Mouse looks like someone took the chunky old Atari ST mouse, slapped a touchscreen and scroll wheel on it, and called it an upgrade.

The result is a rather unusual-looking mouse that is now on Kickstarter, starting at $199. And as ridiculous as it looks, some of its features are genuinely intriguing.

Apple is less than a day away from launching its highly anticipated OLED MacBook Pro with a touch-sensitive screen. But it appears that the upgrade is going to cost a pretty penny. According to a report by Bloomberg, Apple is reportedly eyeing a starting price of $2,899 for the 14-inch MacBook Pro, while the 16-inch version could start at $3,399 in the US.

"At $2,899, the 14-inch model would mark the highest starting price for a new MacBook Pro model, surpassing the $2,799 Apple charged for a 17-inch version introduced in 2006," says the report. The report claims that Apple is targeting a minimum price hike of $400 for its upcoming redesigned 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models.

M6 vs. M5 MacBook Pro (14-inch): Should M5 owners even bother?
Faster where it matters. Familiar everywhere else.
MacBook comparison

I've spent a good amount of time digging into the spec sheet of the new M6 MacBook Pro (14-inch), and for all intents and purposes, this is a classic Apple "chip and connectivity" refresh. It's not a full redesign. The chassis, Liquid Retina XDR panel, speakers, ports, and battery, all of them carry over unchanged.

However, the M6 brings more cores, stronger on-device AI, higher memory bandwidth on the larger configs, and modern wireless. Here’s the practical rundown of what actually improved, and whether those gains are worth your money.
