We don’t normally recommend the 13-inch MacBook Pro over the MacBook Air, but this deal is the exception: Costco is selling the 13-inch M1 MacBook Pro for $900, a savings of $400 off the original MSRP ($300 off Costco’s normal price) and the lowest price we’ve ever seen. You don’t need to be a Costco member to take advantage of this deal.
If you want a little more performance, B&H Photo is selling an M1 MacBook Pro with 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage for $1,399, a savings of $500 off the original $1,899 MSRP.
The 13-inch MacBook Pro has Apple’s original M1 processor but is otherwise identical to the M2 model with 8GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, and a Touch Bar with Touch ID built into the Magic Keyboard. In our 4.5-star review in 2020, we called the MacBook Pro “an astounding machine,” that “left us awestruck,” and even compared to the new M2 model, which is only about 20 percent faster, it’s still an incredible laptop.
And at this price, it’s an easy recommendation even at two years old. So go grab one before they’re all gone.
There are plenty of other great MacBook deals this weekend as well. Here are our top picks from all the deals we’ve found.
