Fine by me - I’ll easily take 1600 nits extended brightness using Vivid - I can actually use my work laptop outside in direct sunlight now, these are the best screens in any laptop out there right now IMO.

These discounts that we have been observing for a while now for the old and new models is telling. These products are just not moving off the shelf and reasons are obvious.

- Low hanging Intel fruit has been picked by the M1 and M1 Pro/Max.
- Economy, fears of recession
- Still more than capable Intel models still have a lot of life left in them. Common sense doesn't require you replace a 16 inch Intel MBP if all you are doing is Spotify, web browsing, dabbling in Photoshop or Illustrator and office productivity.

I still use my Early 2015 Intel 13 inch MBP as a night stand computer and it still does a good job.

Hopefully people keep not buying them... then they might become cheap enough for me to consider ^-^

A lot of people bought the M1 MacBook Air and M1 MacBook Pro during the pandemic years... from late 2020 through all of 2021 and into 2022. A lot of Intel upgraders and people new to the Mac as well.

Apple kept seeing strong or new record Mac sales throughout that entire period.

There's absolutely no reason for someone who bought a M1 Mac to feel the need to upgrade to an M2 Mac. It's impossible for Apple to sustain that kind of sales growth.

Then there's the issue with Apple charging ridiculous prices for memory and storage upgrades. And certain M2 Macs having slower SSD speeds than the M1 versions is a big turn off as well.

These offers for the 13" model would be a lot more interesting if they had more than 8GB RAM. Apple shouldn't be selling "Pro" machines with that configuration at all.

I’ll order a lot of things on Amazon but a computer isn’t one of them

I hope Apple makes a high end device soon without PWM. I had a 14" M1 Pro and had to sell it - loved the performance, size, battery life... but that screen caused me such eye strain and grainy dry eye pain that I went back to an older device that doesn't flicker constantly.

Good to see discount on the higher end 16" MacBook Pro.
