The 2023 MacBook Pro Is Back to Its All-Time Low (Save $250)

One of Apple’s latest and most advanced laptops is back down to the lowest price we’ve seen.

Apple makes some of the best laptops out there, with several MacBook models earning a spot on our list of the best laptops overall for 2023. And the MacBook Pro is the top of the line when it comes to power and performance. The latest model is equipped with Apple’s advanced new M2 Pro chip, and right now, you’ve got a rare opportunity to pick one up on sale. Amazon is offering $250 off both the 14-inch model and the 16-inch model, which drops the starting price of each down to $1,749 and $2,250, respectively. There’s no set expiration on this deal, but discounts on the latest Apple devices rarely last for long.
