B&H Flash Deal Saves You $600 On a Powerful Previous-Gen MacBook Pro

This 2020 MacBook Pro still has plenty to offer and, today only, you can snag it on sale for $1,299.

The M2 MacBook Pro may be the latest and greatest laptop in Apple’s lineup, but the previous-gen M1 MacBook Pro is still a more-than-capable option, and a solid value when you can find it on sale. And today only, B&H Photo is offering a flash deal that saves you $600 on a 13-inch 2020 model, which drops the price down to just $1,299. This offer is only available until 8:59 p.m. PT (11:59 p.m. ET) tonight, so be sure to get your order in before then if you don’t want to miss out on these savings.

In addition to an eight-core M1 processor, this 2020 MacBook Pro comes equipped with some powerful hardware. It features a substantial 1TB of built-in storage, as well 16GB of RAM and Wi-Fi 6 support for lightning-fast performance. The screen is a stunning 13.3-inch Retina IPS display, and boasts 500 nits of brightness. And one of the most unique features of the 2020 model is its short-lived touch bar, which replaced the top row of function keys, and allows you to adjust volume, brightness and much more.

And if you’d rather spend the extra cash to grab a more recent model, you can check out our full roundup of all the best MacBook deals for even more bargains.
