The Most Powerful MacBook Pro is now $800 off at Best Buy

By
MacBook Pro 15

Apple may have lost the operating system war to Windows, but the sleek and reliable Mac computer had (and still has) enough of a fan following that it was never knocked out of the game. In fact, the Mac name is going strong to this day, with millions of people all around the world who still won’t touch a Windows PC with a ten-foot pole. The best MacBook line is especially popular given that the best laptops have all but taken over the computer market, and two top of the line MacBook Pro models are on sale right now from Best Buy for $800 off.

Apple has always offered some of the sleekest, best-looking, and most well-made hardware out there, which is one of the reasons it retains such a dedicated following. Even outdated Macs still look pretty slick by modern standards, and as tech has only gotten smaller and more powerful, Apple’s laptops have remained among the best that money can buy (even in the face of growing competition from Windows ultrabooks like the Dell XPS).

The MacBook Pro is the cream of Apple’s laptop crop, and these discounted Pro models are the cream of the cream: With powerful Intel Core i9 six-core CPUs, a whopping 32GB of RAM, and huge 1TB solid-state drives, you’ve got plenty of juice for just about anything you’d ever need a laptop to do. And since they’re also packing AMD Radeon Pro graphics processors, you can even do some gaming on these — a capability which MacBooks typically aren’t known for.

These are full-sized laptops as well, making them viable alternatives to the 12- and 13-inch MacBooks for users who prefer a bit more screen real estate for a day’s worth of work and entertainment. The MacBook Pro 15 packs a gorgeous 15.4-inch Retina display boasting a 16:10 resolution of 2,880 x 1,800, which has always been one of the top selling points of Apple computers. This, combined with the MacBook Pro’s superb build quality, improved keyboard, surprisingly good speakers, and Touch Bar (which you can disable if you’re really not a fan), makes these laptops the top choice for the most demanding and discerning Apple fans.

Apple hardware is premium tech that carries pretty steep price tags. As the top of the MacBook line, the MacBook Pro is certainly no exception, so Macbook deals like this are always welcome: A tidy $800 savings brings the MacBook Pro 15 with AMD Radeon Pro 560X GPUMacBook Pro 15 with AMD Radeon Pro 560X GPU[/cc-link] down to $3,000 from Best Buy right now. Alternatively, you can grab the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 20 variant — the beefiest MacBook Pro that you can buy — for $3,350 with the same discount.

Microsoft's Surface Pro devices are very popular 2-in-1 laptops because of their combination of style and performance, so Microsoft Surface Pro deals always attract a lot of attention. If you're interested, you can get the Microsoft Surface Pro 7+ for just $600 right now, as Best Buy is offering a $330 discount on its original price of $930. There's no telling how long this offer will stay available though, so you should be moving quickly and proceeding with the purchase if you don't want to miss this bargain.

Why you should buy the Microsoft Surface Pro 7+
The Microsoft Surface Pro 9 is the latest version in its line of 2-in-1 devices, but the Microsoft Surface Pro 7+, a mid-cycle update to the Microsoft Surface Pro 7, is already enough for the average user. It's powered by the 11th-generation Intel Core i3 processor and 8GB of RAM, which will let you accomplish basic tasks like doing online research, making and delivering presentations, and creating reports quickly and efficiently.

If you're looking at laptop deals for affordable Windows-based machines but nothing has caught your attention, it may be time to switch your search towards Chromebooks. Here's an offer that may be too good for you to refuse -- the HP Chromebook 14a for just $149, which is half its sticker price of $299 following a $150 discount from Best Buy. We're not sure how long this bargain will last, but since there's a chance that stocks sell out quickly, you're going to have to hurry up with your purchase if you don't want to miss out.

Why you should buy the HP Chromebook 14a
The HP Chromebook 14a doesn't look like much on paper, as it's equipped with the Intel Celeron N4120 processor, integrated Intel UHD Graphics 600, and 4GB of RAM. However, according to our Chromebook versus laptop comparison, it's still going to run smoothly because of Google's Chrome OS, which rely on online apps and Android apps instead of traditional software that you need to install. The HP Chromebook 14a will never challenge the best laptops as it won't be able to handle demanding tasks, but for basic functions like typing reports, making presentations, and doing online research, it's more than enough.

One of the best Apple deals today is thanks to Best Buy. Head over there and you can buy the Apple Mac Mini with M2 chip for $499 saving you $100 off the regular price of $599. While it might not be the M2 Pro model, it's more than powerful enough for most people. Here's a look at everything else you need to know about it before you hit the buy button.

Why you should buy the Apple Mac Mini with M2
The Mac Mini is a great desktop computer, whether you're going for the M2 Pro model or this one with a standard M2. The best desktop computer for home use, you get a powerful 8-core CPU and 10-core GPU which is great for multitasking or using graphics-intensive apps. Even games look a little better here than you'd usually see with Mac performance. Alongside that, there's 8GB of memory and 256GB of SSD storage. That might sound low but Macs are good at optimizing performance so 8GB should be sufficient for most people. Of course, more storage space would be nice but it's not essential.
