Save $300 on the 16-inch MacBook Pro in latest (early) Prime Day deal

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.

Apple’s MacBook laptops come in a range of colors, and selecting which is right for you can be a tricky business. Sure, it’s perhaps not as important as deciding which chip to pick or how much memory you should buy, but it’s still a vital part of the equation. After all, you’re going to see that color every time you reach for your MacBook. You don’t want it to be something that fills you with regret.

But how should you pick a MacBook color? And what do the colors even look like in the first place? We’ve got the answers to those questions in this guide. We’d also advise you to go to an Apple Store to take a look at the MacBook colors in person, as some can be hard to appreciate just by browsing Apple’s website.

The MacBook Air has officially caught up. Now with the M3 on board, the MacBook Air has gained the benefits of the new chip, which was previously available just on the MacBook Pro and iMac.

Choosing between the M3 15-inch MacBook Air and the 14-inch MacBook Pro is tough, and requires an in-depth look at differences in ports, displays, speakers, and more. It's a legitimately hard decision to make.

Picking out a new MacBook isn't as easy as it used to be.

The hardest choice in the lineup might be between the 15-inch MacBook Air and the 14-inch MacBook Pro. Both are now offered with the same M3 chip, despite there being a $300 difference in the base models. But when similarly configured, there's actually only a $100 difference between these two laptops.
