Get a MacBook Pro (with the Touch Bar!) on sale for less than $1,500 at Amazon and beyond
Something must be in the water — “something” as in a possible new MacBook model — because online retailers have no chill with the MacBook sales lately.
This week, you have two chances to save big on a MacBook Pro: Amazon is offering the 2017 13.3-inch Pro for $305 off, and B&H Photo Video is competing by offering the same computer for $400 off. GET ON IT, Y’ALL.
As far as we can tell these deals just went live, so congrats — you’re one of the lucky ones who caught them early. Devices selling out is likely, so if you’ve been waiting for a MacBook Pro sale or are in need of a good holiday gift for someone, we really encourage hopping on this ASAP.
Here’s what you’re getting:
-
The second-to-newest MacBook Pro model from 2017 in space gray
-
Apple’s Touch Bar — a horizontal retina screen where you control brightness and volume, browse the web, talk to Siri, send iMessages, activate Touch ID, and more
-
A gorgeous 13.3-inch 2560 x 1600 display and Intel Iris Plus Graphics 650 — not ideal for gaming, but it’ll get the job done
-
A speedy Intel Core i5 processor with up to 3.10 GHz — great for video editing or heavy duty apps like Photoshop
-
8 GB memory and 256 GB SSD, plus four thunderbolt ports, three USB-C ports, and a headphone jack. (MacBooks won’t have headphone jacks for much longer, so take advantage while you can.)
Basically, you’re getting Apple’s newest top-notch specs for under $1,500, and that’s a hella rare occurrence.
Save $305 and get the Pro for $1,494 at Amazon (plus free shipping) here, or save $400 and get the Pro for $1,399 on B&H here.
