A full week ahead of Black Friday, the Amazon Black Friday event has now started, and that means discounts on a swathe of Apple products including its brand-new M3 MacBook Pro. In the early going, we’ve spotted two deals on Apple's new M3 MacBook Pro range that are certainly worthy of your attention. If you want to save even more money, however, I’ve found the perfect alternative.
Apple’s M3 MacBook Pro range is not even two weeks old and was only released on November 7. That means you’re about to make a saving of $200 on a brand new MacBook Pro if you play your cards right.
If you didn’t know, Apple’s M3 is the latest and greatest Apple silicon outing, featuring vastly improved performance and efficiency cores over the M1 and even M2 chips. It also has a potent new GPU that can deliver hardware-accelerated ray-tracing, mesh shading, and dynamic caching for the smart allocation of computing resources. These are without doubt the best MacBooks that Apple has ever created, so let's take a look at these savings.
The M3 deal is the best one going on the internet right now, but if you don’t need a 16-inch display, there’s an equally enticing saving to be had over at B&H Photo. If you take the 14-inch model, which is more portable but has the same 120Hz Liquid Retina XDR display, you can save $200 on a 1TB model, down to $2,199 from $2,399.
If you want an M3 Pro chip, the choice here is a $100 saving between the two screen sizes and two storage configurations. For me, I’d say that expanding your capacity with SSDs or external storage makes the 1TB option less important. Once you pick a screen size, however, you’re stuck with it. The question then is how portable you want your laptop to be and how much screen real estate you need. The choice is yours, but make it fast as neither deal is likely to last for long.
