If you’re looking for a new MacBook, Apple’s lineup is as strong as it’s ever been, with brand-new MacBook Pros, a redesigned MacBook Air, and speed Apple silicon in everything. And right now there’s never been a better time to buy one. Amazon is slashing prices on the entire MacBook line to all-time lows, from the entry-level M1 Air all the way up to the flagship 16-inch Pro:
M1 MacBook Air (256GB): $800 ($199 off)
Apple’s M1 MacBook Air is about two and a half years old, but it’s still a fantastic laptop. You can choose between silver, space gray, or gold, with an excellent keyboard and the classic MacBook Air wedge design.
M2 MacBook Air (512GB): $1,300 ($199 off)
The M2 MacBook Air has a new chip and a new design, with a slightly larger display (13.6 inches vs 13.3 inches) than the M1 model. While the 256GB model is also on sale, we recommend the 512GB model, which gives you more storage and a faster drive.
M2 13-inch MacBook Pro (512GB): $1,300 ($199 off)
The 13-inch MacBook Pro is the only MacBook model with a new design and an old chip, but it’s not a bad laptop. Plus it’s the only one with a Touch Bar. Like the M2 Air, we recommend this model over the 256GB one for $1,100.
14-inch MacBook Pro (M2 Pro, 512GB): $1,749 ($250 off)
16-inch MacBook Pro (M2 Pro, 512GB): $2,249 ($250 off)
The newest MacBook Pro has Apple’s M2 Pro processor and a few other goodies such as Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3, but for the most part, you’re getting a refreshed M1. Not that there’s anything wrong with that—the MacBook Pro’s 2021 redesign brought an incredible display, tons of ports, and a massive speed boost.
