Alongside ongoing $200 price drops on the entry level M3 MacBook Pros, today we are taking it up a notch with $300 discounts on the M3 Pro model. Amazon is now offering the silver and Space Black M3 Pro MacBook Pro with the 512GB internal SSD and 18GB of memory down at $1,699 shipped. This deal is also matched at Best Buy. Regularly $1,999, this is a straight up $300 price drop on Apple’s latest and greatest MacBook Pro – okay maybe the M3 Pro Max is greater, but it’s also wildly pricey. Today’s deal is matching the lowest we have tracked on this configuration, landing as only the second-time we have seen it down this low.
As I have said in the past, the M3 models are less pricey, even with today’s deal – you can score one at $1,399 right now – but they aren’t quite as powerful for folks looking to get busy with more intensive creative endeavors and the like. The M3 Pro on sale here today also steps it up a several notches in terms of RAM with 18GB compared to the 8GB you’ll find on the most affordable M3 model – this can make a massive difference in performance when it comes to Final Cut edits and Logic Pro sessions, not to mention just smoother action when you have a million browser tabs open.
Apple’s M3 Pro MacBook Pro lands with a 8-core CPU and a 10-core GPU alongside the 512GB of internal storage and the gorgeous Liquid Retina XDR Display. The must-have MagSafe charging connection is in place as well as up to 22 hours of battery life (your mileage may vary here depending on the application), 1080p FaceTime HD camera, two Thunderbolt/USB 4 ports, an SDXC card slot, an HDMI port, and a headphone jack.
While some believe the M4 MacBook Pro is on the way for late 2024, you won’t be scoring one of those at $300 off anytime this soon – almost certainly not this year, but perhaps by this time next year (maybe).
Dive into more of the best MacBook Pro deals we are tracking in yesterday’s roundup that happens to feature the most affordable model in the lineup at $200 off alongside some higher-end configurations.
