Save Up to $900 With B&H’s Limited-Time MacBook Pro Special Offers
With several recent Apple laptops discounted by $100 or more, now’s the time to upgrade.
With solid build quality and years of software updates, Apple’s laptops offer great longevity. But if you’ve been holding on to an aging MacBook for a little too long, now might be the time to pull the trigger on an upgrade, with as much as $900 off recent MacBook Pro models at B&H. These limited-time discounts apply to several different configurations and display sizes, so you can find one to meet your budget with prices from $1,199.
The most affordable model in the sale is Apple’s M1-powered MacBook Pro. This machine, released in 2020, offers a 13-inch Retina display and efficient M1 processor, which has an eight-core CPU, an eight-core GPU and a 16-core Neural Engine. Despite being an entry-level pro machine, it’s equipped with key features like two USB-C/Thunderbolt 4 ports, Wi-Fi 6 and Apple’s Touch Bar control strip. It’s seeing a $100 discount on the model with a 256GB solid-state drive and 8GB of RAM, or you can take $500 off the higher-spec 1TB/16GB configuration.
If you want a little extra power or a larger display, you can step up to the 14-inch MacBook Pro models from $1,699. These 2021 machines feature Apple’s fancy Retina XDR display with mini-LED technology, as well as more powerful M1 Pro or M1 Max chips. These upgraded chips offer more cores dedicated to graphics processing than the base M1 (with 14, 16 or 32 GPU cores) making them ideal for multimedia workflows. Essential ports like USB-C/Thunderbolt 4, HDMI, MagSafe and even an SD card slot are all on board too. A variety of configurations are on sale with discounts running from $300 to $900.
At the top end, the 16-inch MacBook Pro offers the biggest display of the bunch, as well as the best battery life, for those who need to take a whole workstation on the go. Prices start at $2,999, which is $300 less than usual, with discounts running as high as $600 for those who need the bigger 2021 machine.
Though all of the laptops on sale at B&H are now previous-gen models and have been supplanted on our list of Best MacBooks by the 2022 versions, they’re still worth considering if you prefer to save a chunk of cash rather than have the very latest model. If these older MacBook Pro models aren’t for you, be sure to check out our Best MacBook deals roundup for more promotions.

My 3 Favorite Bose Headphones Deals on Amazon Aren’t Actually From Bose
Baseus’ Inspire XH1, XP1 and XC1 headphones with Sound by Bose are up to 23% off during Amazon’s Big Spring Sale. A bonus item makes the deal even harder to ignore.
I gave CNET Editors’ Choice awards to Baseus’ Bose-infused Baseus Inspire XH1 headphones and Inspire XP1 earbuds because they’re well designed and sound decent consider their prices. I also liked Baseus’ Inspire XC1 clip-on earbuds, which have dual drivers. They even earned a spot on CNET’s best clip-on earbuds list and are probably the best clip-on buds at their price right now.
Amazon’s Big Spring Sale just kicked off, and it’ll be around through March 31. Right now, all three models are discounted to $100 to $123, bringing them near their all-time low prices.
That’s a deal I’d highlight on its own, but if you click through to any of those models’ Amazon product pages and look closely, you’ll see that each is eligible for «one free item» with purchase.

You must click the how to claim link first. Then click a button on the left side of the screen (above the stars for average ratings) to switch the view from «qualifying items» to «benefit items» and see the freebie. The items tend to be Baseus’ entry-level headphones or earbuds, but if you don’t like the free item option with a $120 purchase, you can try the options at lower prices.
You can read my full reviews of the Inspire XH1 headphones here and the Inspire XP1 earbuds here. And here’s my quick take on the Inspire XC1 earbuds:
Like Baseus’ noise-isolating Inspire XP1 earbuds, which I rated highly, the Inspire XC1 have Sound by Bose and a more premium design than earlier Baseus earbuds. The XC1 don’t sound as good as the XP1, they’re decent open earbuds and are equipped with dual drivers (one is a Knowles balanced-armature driver that helps improve treble performance). While they don’t produce as much bass as noise-isolating earbuds like the Inspire XP1, their bass performance is better than I expected. The buds’ sound is pretty full, especially in quieter environments, though they do better with less bass-heavy material. I did notice a bit of distortion at higher volumes with certain tracks that feature harder-driving bass.
While I slightly prefer the design and fit of Bose’s Ultra Open Earbuds, as well as the design of their case, and think the Bose buds sound more natural and a tad better overall, the much more affordable Inspire XC1 fit comfortably and offer top-tier sound for clip-on open earbuds, as well as decent voice-calling performance with good background noise reduction. And they play louder than the Bose, too.
You can grab the Inspire XH1 for $123, the XP1 for $100 and the XC1 for $110, saving you up to 23%. Just remember to claim your free item with your purchase.
