I wonder why any of these vendors order so many of the absolute base models on every device? Then they have to discount them to clear inventory. I thinking especially of the single 256GB SSDs which make the machine slower in use.The 512GB SSD takes advantage of the speedier processors capability.

Shame on Apple for even offering these crippled devices.

 

[Mr. Dee]

Hope deals like this will be around for the M8.

They still have the 2021 in stock? WOW!

@switz The 14/16 Pros are all 512GB+ and don't use the slower 256GB SSDs. You're thinking of the Airs

That base model 14" M1 Pro is a pretty sweet deal when you consider the price-to-performance with the full-price 14" M2 Pro

The base 14" MBP's do have slower SSDs though

A quick look inside the base-level M2 Pro MacBook Pro revealed something I hadn’t expected to see – or, rather, that something I HAD expected to see was missing. Like the base level M2 MacBook Air, the base level of the latest 14″ MacBook Pro seems to feature fewer NAND chips – at a higher capacity – than the last generation. This results in SSD read and write performance that’s dramatically lower than the previous generation.

The base M2 14-inch MacBook Pro has an SSD downgrade

You may want to spring for an upgraded SSD.

www.theverge.com

In BlackMagic’s Disk Speed Test, the 512GB SSD in Apple’s latest flagship achieved read speed scores of around 2,970 MB/s and write speed scores of around 3,150 MB/s, compared to 4,900 MB/s reads and 3,950 MB/s writes that the M1 Pro with a 512GB SSD was capable of.

That means the 2023 base model has around 39 percent slower reads and 20 percent slower writes than the one released in 2021.

Seems the base model is not a performance whiz even in the Mac Book Pro Line. Are these loss leaders for low price advertising?

I can see having to get one soon, I just noticed that modern browsers have just dropped support for 32/64 bit Intel MacOS versions, even Brave.
Probably within two years it will be M1 only support for MacOS browsers.
Probably will end up like my G5 where one computer was for the Internet and the older computer for work.
Meanwhile Windows 10 Intel will get 10 more years of support with browsers, they just dropped windows 8.1 and older.

Good to know about the slower performance of 14" M2 Pros compared to M1 Pros. I missed that news! I was correcting another comment wrongly implying the 14" M1 Pro having slower and smaller base SSDs which they don't.

But I see the miscommunication since this deal article is talking about both M1 Pro and M2 Pro macs

Better deal on the M1 Pro on the Apple Refurbished store! https://www.apple.com/shop/product/FKGP3LL/A/refurbished-14-inch-macbook-pro-apple-m1-pro-chip-with-8‑core-cpu-and-14‑core-gpu-space-gray?afid=p238|sfxz84qcz-dm_mtid_1870765e38482_pcrid_657564286271_pgrid_147510188774_pntwk_g_pchan_online_pexid__&cid=aos-us-kwgo-pla-pla-refurb--slid---product-FKGP3LL/A

If you live near a MicroCenter, they have certified refurbished base 14” M1 Pros for $1,399. I asked and they said they are Eligible for AppleCare.

 

[svish]

Good discount on the 2021 models

 

[umbilical]

awful deal on the 16, there's was a deal some days ago for the 16 MAX with 64GB ram + 4TB for $2999 hard to beat that.

 

[ncbill]

got my M1 14" MBP 16GB/1TB SSD for $1550 from Woot! not too many moons ago.
