16-inch MacBook Pro gets a $250 price cut at Amazon for Black Friday

16 inch MacBook Pro deal from Amazon for Black Friday 2020
Amazon/Apple Inc.

We’re less than a day away now from Black Friday, but online retailers like Amazon have already hit the ground running with their Black Friday deals. The Amazon Black Friday deals in particular have been especially good so far, and that includes their current Black Friday laptop deals and their Black Friday MacBook deals. And a fantastic example of the latter, is one of the retailer’s best discounts on MacBook: a 16-inch MacBook Pro with a $250 price cut.

A $250 discount on a new 16-inch MacBook Pro is nothing to sneeze at. Especially when you consider that the discount knocks a hefty price tag of $2,399 down to something a bit more manageable at $2,149. And all for a high-end MacBook Pro.

And this specific MacBook Pro is definitely worth considering as it features a 16-inch Retina display with 500 nits of brightness, a powerful six-core ninth-generation Intel Core i7 processor, a roomy 512GB SSD, and 16GB of RAM. Not to mention it also boasts Apple’s Touch ID and Touch Bar, a six-speaker sound system, and the Magic Keyboard. And with up to 11 hours of battery life, this really is a laptop that can do it all, allowing you to work and play hard. Digital Trends reviewed the MacBook Pro 16-inch in January 2020, and we called it “the best Mac in years.” Why? Well, we especially loved the introduction of the Magic Keyboard which we considered a vast improvement over the 2015 model since it now has “larger keycaps and a snappier mechanism.” We also felt that the overall performance was “excellent” for content creation and that the 16-inch display was “gorgeous” and liked its thinner bezel. There were only two drawbacks. We still felt that the Touch Bar seemed pretty useless and that the size can be a problem for those who require portability from their laptops as the 16-inch size won’t provide that.

But if the 16-inch MacBook Pro isn’t quite your style, it’s important to remember that you still have other, great and comparable options this Black Friday. Take for instance, this other deal from Amazon, a 13-inch MacBook Pro with a $230 price cut. This is a great option for those who still want a MacBook Pro, but also want portability and a price that’s easier on their wallet. For $1,769, you’ll get a 13-inch MacBook Pro that comes with 1TB of SSD storage, 16GB of RAM, a quad-core tenth-generation Intel Core i5 processor, the Magic Keyboard, a Retina display, Touch Bar and Touch ID, and up to 10 hours of battery life.

Ends tonight: The 5 best laptop deals in Best Buy’s 3-day sale
this dell gaming laptop with an rtx 3060 just got a big price cut deal g15 render

With the weekend almost over, Best Buy's 3-day sale is wrapping up with great laptop deals. With some great budget options like the HP Chromebook, or the higher-end MacBook Pro, there's something for everybody, so let's dive right in.
HP 14-inch Chromebook -- $149, was $299

If you're looking for a budget device for the basics, a Chromebook is an excellent option, and the HP Chromebook 14 is well-built and should work well for most. While the Intel Celeron N4120 and 4GB of RAM aren't that powerful, it's enough to get ChromeOS to run relatively well compared to Windows 11. That means you can get most, if not all, of your productivity, done, and the 14-inch HD screen is good enough for watching films and shows on your off time. In terms of storage, it's on the smaller end at 64GB, which is understandable given that Chromebooks are mostly made for streaming all your content. Overall, it's one of the best Chromebook deals this weekend.

MacBook Pro with M2 Pro just got an unprecedented price cut

Apple just released the 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M2 Pro chip last month, but the powerful laptop is already on sale from B&H with a $200 discount that brings its price down to $1,799 from its original price of $1,999. It's still not cheap, but it's very rare for a new model to appear in MacBook deals. It's highly recommended that you take advantage of this chance while it's still online, as there's not much time left before it gets taken down.

Why you should buy the 14-inch MacBook Pro with M2 Pro chip
Apple's MacBook Pro M2 Pro is slightly less powerful than the MacBook Pro M2 Max, but for most users in creative fields such as photography, filmmaking, graphic arts, and music development, it's got what it takes to meet the high requirements of the job. Compared with the MacBook Pro M1 Pro, the latest model of the laptop features the same flat-edged design, mini-LED display, and port arrangement, but the performance boost from the updated chip makes the MacBook Pro M2 Pro an even better mobile workstation for professionals.

2020 Apple MacBook Air -- $799, was $999

If you're entering the Apple ecosystem and don't want to pay much money for a Macbook, the 2020 Apple MacBook Air is the perfect fit and is often the gateway for most newcomers. What's even better is that this is the updated version with Apple's fancy new M1 chip, which not only leaps ahead of the Intel-based version but also manages to be fanless and whisper quiet. Of course, performance is excellent, and the 8GB is a great entry-level amount to keep the Air running smoothly without many hitches. The 13-inch Retina Display is also rather gorgeous and runs at 2560 x 1600 resolution with an IPS display, meaning better color reproduction. Storage is a bit on the lower end, so it might be worth subscribing to a cloud storage service to help with that. If you're new to Apple MacBooks, then this one is the one to grab from all the Cyber Monday MacBook deals.
