Amazon’s huge $400 discount on Apple MacBook Pro brings it to its lowest price

Amazon deal offers lowest-ever price for a solid MacBook Pro model

Amazon has slashed the price of one of Apple’s MacBook Pro models by a massive $400, bringing it down to its lowest price ever. Better yet, this deal is for the 2019 MacBook Pro, which was updated only a few months ago. Since then we’ve seen a bunch of MacBook Pro and MacBook Air deals.

For a MacBook, this is a massive discount and it applies to Apple’s 13-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar in the silver color. It comes loaded with a quad-core 2.4GHz Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB of memory and a 256GB SSD. That would set you back $1,799 on Apple’s website, but right now Amazon is selling it for $1,399 — almost as cheap as Apple’s entry-level MacBook Pro, but much more powerful.

The discount includes a price drop from Amazon and a coupon that you apply at checkout. The base price drop is $199, which alone makes this MacBook Pro its cheapest ever price, and you can then apply an extra $200 Amazon coupon at checkout. This coupon doesn’t require a code and is already included on the page — just tick the checkbox and it’ll be applied.

When Apple updated the entry-level 13-inch MacBook Pro in July, it became a much better deal than it was previously, as the update brought with it the Touch Bar and quad-core 8th-generation processors without increasing the price. This new deal from Amazon now makes one of Apple’s midrange MacBook Pro models just as tempting, if not more so.

Interestingly, the extra $200 coupon is only valid for this exact model. Changing the processor, adding more storage, even changing the color to space gray — all these will remove the coupon (although the base $199 price drop still applies). With that in mind, make sure you pick the model we’ve linked above to guarantee you get the coupon.

If you’re in the market for a 15-inch MacBook Pro with more power, you’re in luck here, too, as Amazon has also knocked $400 off Apple’s high-end 15-inch MacBook Pro, bringing its price down from $2,799 to $2,399. That gets you an eight-core 2.3GHz Intel Core i9 processor, 16GB of memory and a 512GB SSD.

For comparison, the other 15-inch MacBook Pro that Apple sells also goes for $2,399 but only has a six-core i7 processor and a 256GB SSD, showing what a good deal this is. The $400 discount for the 15-inch MacBook Pro also doesn’t require a coupon, adding to the attraction.

The new iPad Pro would be perfect, if only it were a Mac
A person gaming on the M4 iPad Pro and playing Diablo Immortal.

It’s no secret that I’ve been cheering on Apple’s gaming advances over the last year or so. Long-suffering Mac gamers have gone from being the forgotten also-rans of Apple’s ecosystem to feeling on top of the world, all in a very short period of time. But there’s one vital piece missing from the puzzle, and Apple’s new M4 iPad Pros have made it incredibly obvious.

I’ll admit, Mac gamers have been treated well in recent times. Not only have we had phenomenal hardware advancements in the form of the M3 Max chip -- which is a genuine gaming chip so cool and quiet that you’d be fooled into thinking it’s not -- but there’s also been a slate of top-tier games arriving on Apple’s platform, including my beloved Baldur’s Gate 3. It’s a good time to be a Mac gamer.

The XPS 16 is fighting an uphill battle against the MacBook Pro

It took a few years, but Dell finally updated the design of its two largest XPS laptops. The XPS 15 gave way to the XPS 14, while the XPS 17 was replaced by the XPS 16. The latter gained the ultramodern look of the XPS 13 Plus, complete with a glass palm rest, a hidden haptic touchpad, and a row of LED function keys.

It's a significant update but places the XPS 16 in direct competition with the Apple MacBook Pro 16. That's an excellent matchup with proven performance and battery life and an elegant design that's solid, if a lot more conservative.

From changing the default apps to unlocking a few hidden extras, here are the first six things to do with your new MacBook before putting it to work.
