It's been a few months since we last saw an all-time low price for Apple's 512GB 14-inch MacBook Pro, but today B&H Photo has brought back this deal. Specifically, you can get the 10-Core M2 Pro, 512GB 14-inch MacBook Pro for $1,799.00, down from $1,999.00.

At $200 off, this is the best price we've ever tracked on the 2023 14-inch MacBook Pro. So far this year, we haven't seen any retailer other than B&H Photo hit this record low price on this model of the 14-inch MacBook Pro.



Right now, B&H Photo only has stock on the Space Gray model, but you can get the deal on the Silver color if you are okay waiting the two-to-four week delivery estimate. Amazon has the Silver color at this price, but delivery has slipped into mid May.

Other than the entry-level 512GB 14-inch model of the new MacBook Pro, there are a few other solid discounts across Amazon and B&H Photo on other versions of the computer. With these deals listed below, you can save up to $250 on higher-end models, including the 16-inch size of the notebook.

  • 14-inch 12-Core M2 Pro, 1TB - $2,249.00, down from $2,499.00 [B&H]
  • 14-inch 12-Core M2 Max, 1TB - $2,899.00, down from $3,099.00 [Amazon / B&H]
  • 16-inch 12-Core M2 Pro, 1TB - $2,549.00, down from $2,699.00 [Amazon / B&H]
  • 16-inch 12-Core M2 Max, 1TB - $3,299.00, down from $3,499.00 [Amazon / B&H]
Apple updated the MacBook Pro line in January 2023 with the new 14-inch and 16-inch models. This included next-generation M2 Pro and M2 Max chips, increased maximum memory, longer battery life, HDMI 2.1 with 8K display support, faster Wi-Fi 6E, and Bluetooth 5.3 support.

3D Rendering, video editing, 2D in Photoshop and Illustrator (check out some of the art work from Bert Monroy). If you are video editor who needs to process large 4K footage, yeah, it makes sense. I remember when Uber said they were buying the maxed Intel models at the time for $6000 and thats just for developing the Uber app.

16-inch 12-Core M2 Pro, 1TB - $2,549.00, down from $2,699.00 - sweet deal - I would buy this, but just can't justify right now and I will be moving soon.

I just wished the storage were upped to 1TB. At the price of those machines you’d think it was a given.

Depends on the speed of SSD. It not like you are buying that slower NVme storage at stores that is used for unified memory to the SoC. Yes Apple has always provided RAM and storage a bit high, but then you are going custom for configs.

Does anyone remember the scandal of how little they paid the people?

Ok. How much of a market is this would you guess, in thousands of people? I've never met anyone who does that sort of thing. Then again I don't live in Austin or SF Bay Area...
 
1TB is Pro? Is it 2013 or something? Several hundred more to go from completely inadequate iPhone level 512GB to 1TB? Shouldn't 4TB have been standard for years by now? My 8 year old 15" MacBook Pro had 16GB RAM and 512GB storage. I had to replace it last week. Same stats after 8 years, lol! No wonder sales dropped 40%. Prices and specs have gotten so bad than instead of upgrading every 2-3 years it's become 6-7. Mac OS has needed 32GB for several years now to be a smooth running system.

Those who get it when it’s somebody else’s money. (Employers). :)

Think: all those imaginary employers featured in stock images of people in the workplace. I’ve always found it extremely entertaining that images used in training presentations for my employer always show semi-supermodel office workers using Apple computers, while no employer I’ve worked for in 30 years has ever used anything but rental fleet PCs.

Thats why its a Pro laptop and I am sure the Pro laptop market is not defined by Austin and the Bay Area, there are over 50 states and 200 countries. Remember John Ternus said, if you just want the worlds best laptop, its for you too. I can vividly remember a YouTube video from 2012 of a young girl who bought the new Retina MacBook Pro 15 inch at the time. Definitely overkill for her needs, but she was able to buy it.

Another example was a recent visit to the Apple Store, a customer was shopping to buy one at their employers expense. The Apple store rep and I had to talk them out of it, since a 16 inch was overkill for what they were doing. 70% docked at home and mostly in Excel.

Its all relative though.

Whats the speed of the RAM, storage in a 8 year old MacBook Pro vs 2022 MacBook Pro?
There are the other factors like 8 hour battery life vs 20 hours.
The super fast and power efficient Apple silicon vs power hungry Intel processors
The immersive mini-LED XDR display vs old Retina Display technology
Built in biometrics vs password/Apple Watch log in
Better port selection

Some components might seem to be the same, but you gotta dig deeper. I upgraded from a MacBook Pro 2015 13 inch to the M1 13 MBP. I went from 256 to 512 GBs and I've barely even scratched the surface of that.

The reality is copious amounts of storage is becoming a thing of the past for many users. Its also more of a liability especially to keep that backed up. When I look at the fact I don't curate iTunes playlists anymore (I've moved to free Spotify), I stream movies on Amazon Prime, I have 200 GBs of iCloud storage. My Photo library is probably my most precious and thats synced across all my devices for a small fee for iCloud every month.

I’m sorry, I’m having trouble understanding.

There’s a build-to-order 1TB option. I’m saying that option should simply be the standard.

business expense. you get your employer or client to subsidize the full cost. if you are the employer, or sole proprietor, you get a big chunk off through tax deduction.

True. For me 512gb is enough, but it has low performance on the m2 models so I payed the apple tax for an extra 512gb. I recommend everyone get at least 32gb or 1tb or both.
