As the highly anticipated Prime Day approaches, Amazon is offering some enticing deals on Apple’s MacBook lineup. The online retailer is currently offering discounts on the 2020-spec MacBook Air 13 (M1) and the monstrous 16.2-inch MacBook Pro (M1 Max).
Starting with the MacBook Air, Amazon is selling the 256GB SSD with 8GB RAM and an 8-core integrated GPU for only $749, which is $150 off the original price of $899. This deal is especially remarkable considering the higher-priced M2 MacBook Air offers only marginal improvements in performance.
For those in need of a powerful workstation, Amazon is also offering a staggering $1,600 discount on the 16.2-inch MacBook Pro M1 Max with 64GB RAM, a 4TB SSD, and a 32-core GPU. The original price on B&H Photo was $4,899, but it can now be purchased for $3,299. This deal is an excellent opportunity for mid-sized film studios looking to save on their budget.
While the current selection of MacBook deals is somewhat limited, it is worth noting that more deals are expected to be released before the official start of Amazon Prime Day on July 11. In the meantime, the 13-inch MacBook Pro (2022) with the M2 chip is available for $1,099, down from $1,299.
It’s worth considering that last year’s models, such as the MacBook Pro 14 and 16 with the M1 Pro/Max chips, are still powerful options and offer significant discounts. These include up to $800 off on top-of-the-range setups.
The decision between the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro can be challenging, especially with the introduction of the M2 Air, which offers a thinner design, better webcam, speakers, and an extra charging port compared to the MacBook Pro 13. However, the MacBook Pro 13 with the M2 chip delivers slightly better performance and battery life for demanding tasks.
For those seeking the latest MacBook models, the M2 MacBook Air is available in the UK for £1,279.97, a saving of £119.03. This laptop features a larger 15-inch screen, making it slightly bulkier but still thin and lightweight.
Shoppers looking to save some extra money can consider renewed or refurbished MacBooks. Amazon currently offers the 2020 MacBook Air M1 with a 256GB SSD in “excellent condition” for $704, which is $295 off the full price of a new model.
With a range of discounts and options available, it is essential to compare prices, check price histories, and assess the specs to make an informed decision on which MacBook is the best fit for individual needs.
