Deals: Amazon Discounting 256GB M1 MacBook Pro to $1,199.99 ($100 Off)

Took long time but arrived. I have been saying that the sweet spot price for GOTO 13" MBP with 8GB RAM / 256GB SSD is $1199 and M1 has done it. This falls into highschool,college kids, casual power users, some segment of professional users and SMB.

I think you may have that backwards. College kids will want their tunes and other entertainment while “pro” users usually connect to data stored on a network so it can be easily backed up / restored if necessary.

I have my data on the Mac for speed, on OneDrive because corporate, and on a plug in drive because OCD, I should have gone 1TB.

I'm eyeing a Mac mini. $599 would be a steal if it got the same treatment.

Certainly looks like a good deal. Unfortunately it looks like those who purchase it won't receive the computer until after the new year. But as long as you're not in a rush to receive it.

We should be able to add M2 storage on these. The only reason we cannot is because Apple doesn't want its customers to have it.

These last generation of macbooks are for sure selling like hot cakes in the middle of a hunger situation...

Exciting times, since work from home I have been buying both useful and useless stuff, that I tend to not use in any case because of time constraints. However these barrage of deals are tempting big time to have an M1 copilot MacBook. I would go probably for the Air.
