Amazon’s best M4 MacBook Pro price ever might not last much longer, score one now at $300 off

$300 off/$1,299

While there’s no denying the value Apple’s latest M4 MacBook Air delivers, especially considering the entire lineup is now at some of the best prices ever at $200 off, if you’re after the MacBook Pro it’s hard to look the other way. This has largely been the case for me, and it just got even harder with the most affordable 16GB/512GB Pro model down at the new $1,299 shipped Amazon all-time low. 

Apple’s least expensive MacBook Pro carries a $1,599 list price and is now $300 off at Amazon. This is the same deal we featured the second it went live earlier this week, but when we scoped it out this morning it looked as though the listing was about to jump back up in price – it was listed at a higher price with an on-page coupon. 

While this might not mean anything and could have just been a pricing mistake, it could also mean the particularly notable $1,299 is about to be no more. You can get lucky with lower prices via in-store offers at select authorized dealers, when it comes to online prices it really doesn’t get any better than this. 

You’re looking at the lowest price we have tracked to date to land a current-generation MacBook Pro. Yes, you can score an M4 MacBook Air with the same 16GB of RAM and the 512GB SSD down at $999 right now – it also has a display that’s nearly as large and four different color options – but it is not a MacBook Pro for a reason. 

While both machines largely deliver the same performance and experience for some users, the MacBook Pro features a more robust and premium hardware build and a much better Liquid Retina XDR mini-LED display that delivers far better brightness and a 120Hz ProMotion refresh rate as well. It also has better onboard connectivity with Thunderbolt 4 ports on both sides of the machine as well as HDMI and an SD card reader you will not get on the M4 MacBook Air. You also can’t the sleek, stealthy Space Black paint job on the Air. 

But when it comes down to it, some folks just simply want a MacBook Pro, and if you’re one of them, and if the M4 base config is what you’re looking towards, pricing has never been better at Amazon (or, for the most part, online anywhere) than it is right now.
