If you’re thinking about getting a MacBook Pro, but you aren’t exactly sure which of the many configurations is best for you, perhaps this discounted model might be just what you’re after. The latest 14.2-inch model with an M4 chip (10-core CPU, 10-core GPU), 16GB of RAM, and 1TB of storage is $1,457.87 at Amazon, down from $1,799, a savings of $341. That’ll likely still sound expensive unless I include the necessary context, which is that this space black model costs just over $10 more than the model with half as much storage at the time of publishing. Apple’s storage upgrades are notoriously pricey if you buy direct, but not with this deal.
The only downside is that, currently, Amazon’s delivery window is between June 20th and July 7th.
Compared to previous generations of Apple’s overhauled MacBook Pro, you’re getting more for your money with this one, even if you buy it at full price. This 2024 model has more ports, more RAM, a better screen, and an improved 12-megapixel webcam that easily tops its predecessors. In short, it feels like less of a compromise to buy this instead of shelling out hundreds more for an M4 Pro model. Read our review of the 2024 14-inch MacBook Pro.
