If you’ve been waiting to bring Apple’s latest M2 Mac Studio to your workstation, the first notable discount has arrived. Courtesy of our friends over at Expercom, the trusted Apple authorized retailer is now discounting nearly every model of the new desktop macOS machine. Everything starts with the baseline M2 Max 512GB/32GB configuration at $1,899.05 shipped. Down from $1,999, today’s offer delivers $100 in savings and is the first new condition price cut so far. The discounts today are joined by a series of other configurations that also take as much as $310 off Apple’s new release.

Apple’s all-new M2 Max Mac Studio comes outfitted with the latest in Apple Silicon that starts with a higher-end 12-core CPU than its predecessor. There’s the same 16-core Neural engine on board, as well as improved performance in the GPU, as well. It sits within the same taller form-factor as before, which enables the inclusion of some added I/O like four Thunderbolt 4 ports, two USB-C slots, 10Gb Ethernet jack, and more. If you’re not even thinking about that shiny new Mac Pro, but still need a higher-end machine from Apple, the new M2 Max Mac Studio is easily the best bet, especially with some extra savings attached.

Save $700 From $2,099

In much the same tune as the clearance offer that went live earlier in the week on 14-inch M1 Max MacBook Pros, the savings today are arriving as two retailers clear out M1 Mac Studio models. All of the discounts are headlined as Expercom delivers a higher-end configuration at one of its best prices yet. The M1 Ultra Mac Studio with 20-core CPU, 48-core GPU, 1TB SSD, and 64GB of RAM now sells for $3,399 shipped. Normally fetching $3,999, it’s now arriving at $600 off and a new all-time low. This is a rare chance to save period, and a fitting offer as stock begins being clearanced off to make room for the new M2 versions. This is also $300 under the competing B&H offer, too.

Apple’s original Mac Studio still arrives as the most powerful M1 machine available thanks to a series of redesigns both inside and out. For starters, there is the much taller form-factor that sits in the same footprint as Apple’s other desktop headless Macs. That enables a wide array of I/O like four Thunderbolt ports, Gigabit Ethernet, 4K HDMI, and more. Then there’s the M1 Max chip and its 10-core design at the center of the package for improved performance. Dive into our hands-on review for a closer look, and then head below as we take a closer look at how it compares to the new M2 Max edition.

Closing out the work week, Amazon is offering some of the best prices yet on Apple’s new flagship 16-inch M2 Pro MacBook Pro. All of the savings start with the 512GB capacity model at $2,249.99 shipped. That’s $249 off the usual $2,499 going rate and marking one of the first discounts so far. It comes within $1 of the all-time low set just once before and is only the second time we’ve seen it drop this low. Then there’s the elevated 1TB capacity model, which now sits at $2,449, down from its usual $2,699 price tag to match the all-time low with $250 in savings attached.

Apple’s new MacBook Pro comes outfitted with the same form-factors as before, centered around a 16-inch Liquid Retina display. From there, you’re looking at mostly under the hood improvements that come centered around the latest in Apple Silicon. The M2 Pro processor powers the experience to make this Apple’s most capable portable MacBook yet. There’s up to 22-hour battery life and Wi-Fi 6E support for the first time to go alongside a new 8K HDMI output and three Thunderbolt 4 ports.

It’s still a compact build that is as slim as they come while still sporting Apple Silicon performance and 18-hour battery life.

$1,390

After seeing the newer M2 models go on sale to start the week, Woot is now clearing out previous-generation M1 Pro MacBook Pros. Headlined by the 16-inch model which now sells for $1,599.99, shipping is free for Prime members. A $6 delivery fee applies otherwise. Down from its original $2,499 going rate, this $900 discount is by far the best sale to date. It clocks in at $300 below our previous mention and is the lowest price yet. Not to mention, it’s $750 under the newer M2 Pro model.

Apple’s now previous-generation flagship MacBook Pro may not be the most recent release, but still arrives with much of the same refreshed form-factor as the newer models. M1 Pro chip starts the improved form-factor and powers the experience that comes centered around a 16-inch Liquid Retina XDR Display backed by ProMotion, 120Hz refresh rates, and 1600 nits of peak brightness. Packed into that new chassis is up to 21-hour battery, as well as a new array of I/O like the return of MagSafe charging, HDMI, three Thunderbolt ports, and more. So if you’re not sold on the performance gains of the new M2 iteration, today’s price cut is easily worth considering. See why it was previously our Apple product of the year over at 9to5Mac.

How-to play Nintendo Switch on an iMac’s display [Video]

Jeff Benjamin -
Best Mac Deals

Although I have a TV, my 5K iMac’s display is the one that I use the most throughout the day. With this in mind, I’ve long wished for the ability to play game consoles directly on the 5K display.

An HDMI input option isn’t something you’ll find on any Mac, which obviously limits the the machine’s abilities in this area. Yet, there is one option — Elgato’s GameCapture HD60 S — for those of you wishing to showcase a game console, like the Nintendo Switch, on the iMac’s display.

Normally thought of for its capturing abilities, the HD60 S, which features superior low-latency properties, does a great job of displaying the Nintendo Switch in full screen 1080p at 60 fps. It’s not perfect, and it’s definitely not cheap, but it’s one of the best solutions that I’ve found for using the iMac as an external display. Have a look at our hands-on video walkthrough for more details on my setup.

Griffin’s BreakSafe adapter brings MagSafe to MacBook’s USB-C port for $20 Prime shipped

One of Apple’s most beloved features of its MacBooks is its proprietary magnetic charging cable known as MagSafe.

The good news is you can add back a magnetic charging connector by using Griffin’s BreakSafe cable adapter for USB-C, currently on sale (review). Today the product goes to its lowest price yet, with a 50% discount on the usual retail price bringing it down to just $20 shipped.

If you’ve been holding out for a new standalone desktop display from Apple, you’re either going to take news of the Thunderbolt Display being discontinued as a sign of good things to come, or as a cue to finally purchase a new 4K or 5K display from someone else. For most, especially considering Apple itself is recommending you purchase a third-party display, the latter option is going to be the more likely.

While Apple didn’t recommend any specific third-party alternatives during its discontinuation announcement of the Thunderbolt display last week, we’ve done the work for you and put together our top picks for the best 4K & 5K displays for Mac available to buy right now.
