If you’re looking for a powerful MacBook that’s great for content creation, don’t miss this deal.
The latest version of Apple’s most powerful laptop, the MacBook Pro, was introduced around Halloween. Even though it has Apple’s latest and greatest chip, the M3, certain models have already seen discounts. While the base model goes for nearly $1,600 at the Apple Store and $1,550 at Amazon, this $150 coupon drops the price to $1,400, the lowest to date.
If you’re not familiar with the M3 chip, it’s Apple’s top-dog CPU, with better performance and revamped graphics architecture. Ideal for pros who do graphics editing and rendering, the M3 is built on a smaller die than its predecessor, which means it’s faster and more efficient.
The screen is a gorgeous Liquid Retina XDR display, with 1,600 nits of peak brightness and 600 nits of sustained brightness. That’s enough to let you work even in indirect sunlight, and the smaller size and weight means you can carry this MacBook wherever work or play takes you.
Note that Apple still insists on withholding RAM in its MacBooks, so you only get 8GB on a machine that really should have more. While you do get a decent 512GB of storage, we’d rather have more RAM (you can always attach an external drive or use the cloud for more files).
Even so, if you want one of the best MacBooks Apple has to offer, $150 off is a solid deal — just remember to use the on-screen coupon. You can also scope out these other MacBook deals if you’re looking for something different.
