Amazon Prime Day deal slashes $200 off of this MacBook Pro

By Alex Blake Updated July 16, 2019

If you’ve been looking to upgrade your MacBook, now might be the perfect time thanks to Prime Day deals on Apple devices. Right now

Apple’s 13-inch MacBook Pro

is almost $200 off right now, bringing its price down to an eye-popping low of just $1,100. If you want to spend a little less you can grab the 2018 13-inch MacBook Air for just $999 from B&H.

That absolute bargain bags you the 2018 model with a 2.3GHz Intel i5 processor with Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz, 8GB of memory, a 128GB super-fast SSD and two Thunderbolt 3 ports. As well as that, you get a crisp Retina display, Apple’s superb Force Touch trackpad, plus the T2 Security Chip for extra on-device security.

Apple recently upgraded its entry-level 13-inch MacBook Pro to give it a slightly faster processor and the Touch Bar, which we suspect is why the 2018 model has been lowered to such a great price. If you’re not all that concerned about the Touch Bar and want the best price on a recent MacBook Pro you’ll find anywhere, this is still a great deal.

If you fancy upgrading to the

2019 13-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar

, you’re in luck there too, as Amazon has knocked $110 off its price just for Prime Day. You can pick one up for $1,689, which is an excellent price for the latest MacBook Pro.

And if you just need the most power you can get in a MacBook Pro, the

2019 15-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar

has had a hefty price cut of $240 for Prime Day. That drops its price to $2,559 and includes a monstrous Intel eight-core i9 processor, a 512GB SSD and powerful Radeon Pro 560X graphics card.

With so many MacBook Pro deals on Prime Day, now is the time to make a move if you’re in the market for a new Apple laptop.

Looking for a different laptop? You’ll want to head over to our round-up of the best laptop deals for Prime Day, which is stacked full of fantastic bargains and price cuts. For example, the HP Spectre x360 2-in-1 currently has a huge $625 off — when we reviewed it, we gave it a perfect score, an Editor’s Choice award, and called it a “pure joy to use” — so don’t miss out on that and other great Prime Day bargains.

Prime Day: Get this Asus laptop with a fingerprint reader for $210

With Prime Day finally upon us, it's the perfect time to pick up a business laptop if you've been eyeing one for a while. Luckily, there's a great Prime Day deal on the Asus VivoBook 14, a lightweight yet versatile laptop for work and school. You can grab one from Amazon for just $210, rather than the usual $270 it goes for, which is a nice $60 discount.

Why you should buy the ASUS VivoBook 14
The ASUS VivoBook 14 has many great productivity chops while also being very budget oriented, mostly due to the Intel Core i3-1115G4 running under the hood. While it's an entry-level CPU, it's still relatively robust and should easily handle most productivity tasks without issue. That said, it may struggle with RAM-heavy tasks, like programming or opening lots of apps and tabs, since it only comes with 4GB of RAM, which isn't much nowadays. It also means that even though it comes with Windows 11, it's running in S-mode, a pared-down version missing a few features here and there, although nothing that would impact your productivity. There are 8GB and 12GB versions you can buy, but they're considerably more expensive.

This HP Chromebook is discounted from $290 to $180 for Prime Day

The 2022 release of the HP Chromebook 14a, with apps on the screen.

Are this year's Prime Day laptop deals not that exciting for you? If you still need a new device but you're on a tight budget, you may want to look at the HP Chromebook 14a, which is available from Amazon for just $180 following a $110 discount on its original price of $290. It's not going to blow you away with its specifications, but it's a dependable device that will accompany you through each day. You're going to have to make the purchase as soon as you can if you're interested though, as we're not sure if the offer will remain available until the end of Prime Day deals.

Why you should buy the HP Chromebook 14a
Our Chromebook versus laptop comparison says Chromebooks are great for daily use, including functions like checking email, browsing social media, and typing documents. Like the best Chromebooks, these are the kinds of tasks that the HP Chromebook 14a won't have a problem dealing with. The device is powered by the Intel Celeron N4120 processor, ‎Intel UHD Graphics 600, and 4GB of RAM -- it doesn't look like much, but with Google's Chrome OS relying on web-based apps from the Google Play Store instead of installed software, it's more than enough.
