Digital Trends

It’s hard to imagine a better Christmas gift than an Apple product, and right now there are some great MacBook deals that you should browse. That said, if you want to be sure your MacBook will arrive by Christmas, you might want to leap on this deal to score $300 off a 16-inch MacBook Pro at Amazon. This is one of the best laptops on the market, and you can get it for $2100, down from $2400, and have it delivered in time for Christmas.

Our experts didn’t beat around the bush when they reviewed the 16-inch MacBook Pro, calling it “the best Mac in years.” They loved the ample and responsive keyboard, the amazing potential content creation, and the huge, inimitable screen and sound. If you are (or aspire to be) in a creative field, or a creative hobbyist, this is the MacBook for you.

This laptop is built to take on the world. This MacBook is potentially the most powerful Apple has ever made, starting with a ninth-generation 6-Core Intel Core i7 processor. It’s loaded with 16GB of RAM and comes standard with 512GB nimble SSD storage. Add to that the sparkling 16-inch retina display with True Tone technology and an AMD Radeon 5300M graphics card with 6DDR6 memory, and we are looking at an unbeatable machine. The icing on the cake: This MacBook sounds just incredible too. Its six-speaker system has force-canceling woofers and studio-quality mics as well.

If you’re in a creative field, it lends itself beautifully to crafting graphics, or editing video, photos, and sound. The battery lasts up to 11 hours, has four Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports, and the ultra-handy Touch Bar and Touch ID. The MacBook Pro received an average rating of 4.7 out of 5 stars from more than 1,800 Amazon customers. People love this machine. Especially when they see it; while not the lightest MacBook, it retains the sleek splendor and gorgeous curves of all Apple designs. It’s a wonder really, especially on sale.

MacBook Air 11.6-inch (2015) -- from $165

Once the latest MacBook Air but now eight years old and still competent, the MacBook Air 11.6-inch (2015) is a great starting point for anyone new to macOS or who just needs something financially on par with a Chromebook. It's a refurbished model but it comes with a one-year warranty so there's peace of mind here. It won't run the latest macOS unfortunately, but its Intel Core i5 processor, 4GB of memory and 128GB of SSD storage helps you perform the basics. It still has all the style of a MacBook so we're thinking this could be a good entry point as your child's first MacBook or if you want a project.

Don’t need a MacBook Pro? Save $300 on the 15-inch MacBook Air
The screen of the MacBook Air M2.

For those who are having trouble deciding which of the latest models to buy from MacBook deals, here's an offer from Best Buy that may push you in its direction -- the 15-inch Apple MacBook Air M2 with 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD for $999, following a $300 discount on its original price of $1,299. If you don't need the professional-level capabilities of the MacBook Pro, it's highly recommended that you take advantage of this bargain, but you have to act fast because there's no telling when it will get taken down.

Why you should buy the 15-inch Apple MacBook Air M2
The 14-inch Apple MacBook Pro M3 Max stands on top of our list of the best MacBooks, but if you prefer the lightness and quietness of the MacBook Air and you don't need the extreme power of the MacBook Pro, you're better off with the 15-inch Apple MacBook Air M2. Its design is very similar to its smaller counterpart, the 13-inch Apple MacBook Air M2, with the same flat panels, narrow bezels, and thin profile -- just 0.46 of an inch -- among other elements. However, the larger 15.3-inch Liquid Retina display makes a huge difference, especially if you'll be needing all the screen real estate that you can get for activities like building websites, managing spreadsheets, editing videos, and working on apps with complex menus.
