There are new MacBook Pro models on the way in 2023, but why wait when you can save big now: Amazon is selling the 14-inch MacBook Pro with an M1 Pro processor and 512GB of storage for $1,600 or the 16-inch MacBook Pro for $2,099, a savings of $400 and the best prices we’ve seen in 2023.
Other than the screen size, the two laptops are the same with one exception. The 14-inch model has an M1 Pro processor with an 8‑core CPU and 14‑core GPU while the 16-inch model has a 10‑core CPU and 16‑core GPU. Aside from the chip, you’re getting a gorgeous 14.2-inch or 16.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR display with ProMotion and 1,600 nits of peak brightness, 17-hour battery life, and a ton of ports, including MagSafe for charging, HDMI, an SD card reader, and three Thunderbolt 4 ports.
In our review of the 14-inch MacBook Pro, we called it a laptop “truly built for professionals who make the highest demands of their hardware.” The last time we saw this model drop so low was during Black Friday, so it’s definitely a great deal. And with new models only expected to be a little faster, there’s no better time to buy one.
