A chunky saving of 15%, you’d be smart to snap it up now rather than wait. There’s no guarantee on how long the offer will stick around, especially as this is Amazon’s lowest price in 30 days.

The Apple MacBook Pro is an insanely fast system nowadays thanks to its M1 chip, which has been designed specifically to work with macOS.

At this price which brings it more in line with cheaper MacBooks, it’s easily one of the best MacBooks for most users.
