Discounts on Apple products are few and far between, which is why it’s a good idea to look at Prime Day deals if you’re in the market for a new MacBook. Right now at Amazon, the new

Apple 16-inch MacBook Pro

(16GB RAM, 512GB Storage) is reduced from $2,399 to $2,099 with free one-day shipping. That’s a $300 savings. We saw a similar deal in July, but this sale matches the lowest price we’ve seen since the 16-inch MacBook Pro was released in November 2019. Only refurbished models have ever been discounted deeper than $300. You can also save $400 on the 1TB model, which comes with the Intel Core i9 processor.

In addition to providing 16GB of RAM, the 512GB MacBook Pro has a ninth-generation six-core Intel Core i7 processor, a gorgeous 16-inch retina display with True Tone technology, and an AMD Radeon 5300M graphics card with 6DDR6 memory, which will support almost any game on the market. Audiophiles will delight in the MacBook Pro’s six-speaker system with force-canceling woofers and studio-quality mics as well. And travelers or folks on-the-go can count on a whopping 11 hours of battery life from this laptop.

These models are among the most powerful laptops Apple has ever made. The fast processing speeds and top-of-the-line graphics mean you’ll be able to edit sound and video with ease. And as with most other Apple products, customers rave about the 16-inch MacBook Pro. It received an average rating of 4.7 out of 5 stars from more than 1,800 Amazon customers. But it’s not exactly cheap, and older models may be sufficient for many users. Someone who mainly uses a laptop for word processing and web surfing, for example, won’t need such robust features. Check our other MacBook deals, especially these limited-time Prime Day MacBook deals, before making a final decision on your next laptop.

If you’re not ready to drop $2,099 at once, you can secure an attractive financing option by applying for an Amazon Store Card. You’ll be able to make interest-free, equal monthly payments for 12 months. That means you’ll still save $300 off the retail price of $2,399. While it’s possible a similar deal will pop up again, it’ll likely be months before we see another discount on this laptop. If you need a new computer now, we suggest acting quickly. There’s no telling how quickly these will sell or how long this deal will last.

A report from Korean outlet The Elec suggests the OLED MacBook Air that Apple was allegedly planning to release in 2027 could face significant delays. While progress for the OLED MacBook Pro seems to be going smoothly, the price increase caused by the new display technology is a much bigger problem for the budget MacBook Air models.

One of the biggest selling points of the MacBook Air is its lower price, making it great for first-time Mac buyers, students, and anyone else who doesn't expressly need the power of a Pro. While price increases are a natural part of the tech industry, the slightly disappointing sales of the 2024 OLED iPad Pro suggest that a new display simply isn't enough of an incentive for consumers to justify a higher price tag.

MacBook Pro with M4

The M4 MacBook Pros launched this week with plenty to talk about. Performance, however, wasn't the focus of all the attention. Apple didn't provide many direct comparisons of how much more powerful the M4 MacBook Pro is over the previous generation of chips.

But now some leaked benchmarks for the M4 series have been put online, and they reveal just how significant of an uplift the M4 Max and M4 Pro bring. Over on X (formerly Twitter) user James Atkinson discovered some results from a Geekbench 6 benchmark for the M4 Max chip, which revealed 4,060 single-core and 26,675 multi-core scores.
