Prime Day is here, and you have to wait until then to get yourself a new MacBook Pro at a steep discount. Prime Day deals are already here as Amazon and other retailers have been offering discounts on the latest must-have tech in the days leading up to the big sale next week. But back to that new MacBook Pro deal we mentioned: Amazon is offering a 2021 MacBook Pro at a $199 discount, which means that you’ll be able to get a MacBook Pro for just $1,150 instead of its regular price of $1,299. And saving $149 is nothing to sneeze at since you could use that money to buy accessories for your new MacBook Pro or spend it on other fun things Prime Day has to offer.

This 13-inch 2020 MacBook Pro is a small package packed with power and is perfect for creative professionals. It has a speedy and robust processor (the Apple M1 chip) that can handle your video editing and music production projects. The 2020 MacBook also comes with a 13-inch Retina display, a FaceTime HD camera, a three-microphone array, a Magic Keyboard, Touch Bar, Touch ID, 256GB of solid-state drive (SSD) storage, and 8GB of RAM.

We reviewed the 2020 MacBook Pro 13-inch M1-chip in December and it immediately became of our recommended products. We especially liked how “insanely fast” the M1 chip is, its speakers, the keyboard and trackpad, and its “fantastic battery life.” (Our reviewer found that with light web browsing the battery life “lasted well over 16 hours on a single charge.”)

If you need the processing power of the 13-inch 2020 MacBook Pro, but don’t want to spend nearly $1,300 for it, get this deal. Like we said earlier, you can save $199 on this deal, get yourself a powerful MacBook Pro, and spend your savings on other fun gadgets.

One of my favorite things about macOS is that it comes with default apps to handle your everyday tasks. You get Safari to browse the web, the Mail app to handle your emails, and the Preview app to open and view photos and PDFs.

But what if you want to use a third-party app you prefer over the default app? Thankfully, Apple makes it easy to change the default apps on your Mac. So, whether you want to use Google Chrome or Outlook, here’s how you can set them as the default on your Mac.
