Apple's 2021 MacBook Pro lineup has seen consistent discounts over the past few weeks, but it's been rare for every model to have all-time low prices at once. Today on Amazon you'll find just that, with both 14-inch and 16-inch versions of the MacBook Pro getting record low markdowns in every configuration.

14-inch MacBook Pro

Starting with the 8-Core M1 Pro/512GB 14-inch MacBook Pro, this model is available for $1,599.00, down from $1,999.00. It's available in both Silver and Space Gray, with the latter color seeing a slight shipping delay.

The 10-core M1 Pro/1TB SSD model is on sale at $2,099.00, down from $2,499.00. This is the best price we've ever tracked on this model of the 14-inch MacBook Pro.

16-inch MacBook Pro

Secondly, you can get the 10-Core M1 Pro/512GB 16-inch MacBook Pro for $2,099.00, down from $2,499.00. This one is available in Space Gray and Silver as well.

On the higher end, the 10-Core M1 Pro/1TB 16-inch MacBook Pro is on sale for $2,299.00, down from $2,699.00. This is another record low price on the 2021 MacBook Pro, and it's available in Silver and Space Gray.



Finally, Amazon is offering a discount on the 10-Core M1 Max/1TB 16-inch MacBook Pro. You can get this model for $3,099.00, down from $3,499.00. Both colors are on sale at this price, and this is another all-time low price for the MacBook Pro.

Honestly, I have too many computers as it is already. With what I currently do on my M1 MBP, any of these machines would be overkill. But at least I know there will be killer deals on the 16 inch M5 after it launches in 2025.

$1599 for a 14" MacBook Pro has to be one of the best deals in tech right now. It IS a lot of money, but you get a hell of a laptop for that.

For everyday general computing tasks, it is overkill for most people, but when I hear about people speccing up other laptops to 'future-proof' them, I doubt they are even getting to close to what's on offer here.

I've been hovering over the 'Buy' button on an M2 Air for weeks, and now this deal poops up... I'd get the 512GB/16GB M2 Air, and this deal has the same storage and RAM for $100 cheaper. Much better multi-core performance from the MBP, a better display, better sustained performance, etc. The Air actually has better single-core performance, longer use per battery charge, lighter, smaller, and is one year newer (for 'Vintage' list purposes).

I'd be just using it for web browsing, Office apps, Netflix, and the occasional image or video project. I think it comes down to portability for me, as I do carry my laptop around 24/7 and travel with it quite a bit.

Hmmmm.

For me the biggest differentiator is the display - not only ProMotion, but it also has a higher pixel density (254 vs 224 PPI) which also uses a true 2:1 scaling, so text is sharper.

I have both machines and would say that the M2 Air is solid for the stuff that you do (and I only have the base 8GB/256GB model). I have an M1Pro that I bought for my business last year and it's seriously overkill for 90% of the stuff that I do. In fact, for general MS Office and browsing there is no difference between the two machines - you just can't tell them apart. They are both fast, responsive and capable (even the 8GB/256GB "pariah" that is the M2 Air).

If I was forced to have just one, I'd keep the 14". It's quite a bit heavier/chunkier, but the screen really pops, the speakers are great and the M1Pro chip is phenomenally powerful. Best computer I have ever owned.

I'd probably jump on this if most of my "upgrade" money wasn't sitting in Apple gift cards. Too bad I can't use them to pay off my Apple Card.

Big one to not forget is the 120hz on the MBP 14. My 14' got stolen and I went with the MBA M2 but I really struggle with the refresh rate and lower nits....

Personally not eligible but I hear B&H has the 1TB 10-core version for $1699 education deal. You have to be verified for B&H deal.

I do not believe this is an education deal. It is a "for anyone" deal, and is actually $210 less than the education deal.

I've been watching the prices using AppleInsider's tracker for a few weeks (it lists every model in every option variant), and the deal pricing has been beginning to outpace the education pricing by increasingly larger margins. Macbook Pro 14" and 16" discounting in the reseller channel, as compared to other models, is significantly more variable across all SKUs, and surpassing educational pricing in many SKUs (especially in higher-end variants, e.g 32core 4TB and 8TB models).

Apple is clearly leveraging these relationships to sell through inventory in preparation for M2 "press release" launch. I don't know what inventory turns typically are in this space, but if anyone has knowledge of that, we could predict when the new M2's will drop. My guess is one to two weeks.

No, it's $1699 after verifying you're a student for a 10-core, 1TB 14", which is $800 off of current non-edu retail price of $2499. You have to fill this out to qualify so I doubt this price is tracked. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/find/eduRegister.jsp

4 year warranty if you use their Citi Visa, plus 4% cash back. Plus you can extend that I think for another year, including drops and spills.

Where can I find info on this 4 year warranty on costco's website. I see 4% cashback only on gas, and lower for other items. Mind sharing the link to this promotion
