If you’ve been intimidated by the price of the 2019 15-inch Core i9 MacBook Pro, head over to Amazon today and you’ll find the 512GB model on sale for $2,499.99, down from the normal price of $2,799.99. That’s a match of the lowest price we’ve ever seen on Amazon, and we haven’t seen it at that price since the end of June.
Here are a few more specs:
- 2.3GHz 8-core 9th-generation Intel Core i9 processor
- Retina display
- Touch Bar and Touch ID
- 4GB Radeon Pro 560x Graphics
- Four Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports
It’s a good price for a new model, but I would keep in mind that Apple is rumored to be releasing a new 16-inch MacBook Pro that will have a scissor-switch keyboard instead of the butterfly keyboard you find on current models. The catch is that the 16-inch model is rumored to start at $2,999, so this is still one of your best bets if you’re concerned with saving money about all else.
