Some people like the gigantic 15-inch MacBook Pros for work machines; still others miss the even larger 17-inch beasts. As for me, I prefer the cozy 13-inch model—and, in fact, I’m writing this on one right now. If you’re like me, you’ll be glad to know that Best Buy is selling the previous-generation 13-inch MacBook Pro as little as $999.99 as one of its Deals of the Day. That’s an impressive $300 off its normal price.
That price is for the 128GB model, which is arguably too small for any kind of “pro” work. Best Buy has four models on sale, and all of them have discounts ranging from $300 to $400. At the high end, for example, you can get a model with 512GB of storage, 16GB of memory, and an i7 chip for just $1,799.99, down $400 from the normal price of $2,199.99. It might be a little older, but that’s still an awesome device. It doesn’t even have the Touch Bar, and I frankly consider that a plus these days.

As for that $1,000 model, here are a few additional specs:
- Seventh-generation dual-core Intel Core i5
- Intel Iris Plus Graphics 640
- Two Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports
- Force Touch trackpad
As a reminder, this deal will only last for the rest of the day, so hop on it soon if you’re interested.
