By Jacob Silver December 19, 2020

It’s hard to imagine a better Christmas gift than an Apple product, and right now there are some great MacBook deals that you should browse. That said, if you want to be sure your MacBook will arrive by Christmas, you might want to leap on this deal to score

$300 off

a 16-inch MacBook Pro at Amazon. This is one of the best laptops on the market, and you can get it for $2100, down from $2400, and have it delivered in time for Christmas.

Our experts didn’t beat around the bush when they reviewed the 16-inch MacBook Pro, calling it “the best Mac in years.” They loved the ample and responsive keyboard, the amazing potential content creation, and the huge, inimitable screen and sound. If you are (or aspire to be) in a creative field, or a creative hobbyist, this is the MacBook for you.

This laptop is built to take on the world. This MacBook is potentially the most powerful Apple has ever made, starting with a ninth-generation 6-Core Intel Core i7 processor. It’s loaded with 16GB of RAM and comes standard with 512GB nimble SSD storage. Add to that the sparkling 16-inch retina display with True Tone technology and an AMD Radeon 5300M graphics card with 6DDR6 memory, and we are looking at an unbeatable machine. The icing on the cake: This MacBook sounds just incredible too. Its six-speaker system has force-canceling woofers and studio-quality mics as well.

If you’re in a creative field, it lends itself beautifully to crafting graphics, or editing video, photos, and sound. The battery lasts up to 11 hours, has four Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports, and the ultra-handy Touch Bar and Touch ID. The MacBook Pro received an average rating of 4.7 out of 5 stars from more than 1,800 Amazon customers. People love this machine. Especially when they see it; while not the lightest MacBook, it retains the sleek splendor and gorgeous curves of all Apple designs. It’s a wonder really, especially on sale.

Best MacBook deals: Save on MacBook Air and MacBook Pro

Macbook Air (2018) Review

Apple's MacBooks are among the best laptops in the market, as they're powered by high-quality components and they stand out with their gorgeous designs. If you're already accustomed to MacOS, or you're willing to learn the operating system coming from Windows, then you should always be on the lookout for MacBook deals. To help you with your search, we've gathered some of the top offers that are available right now. However, since MacBooks almost always sell out quickly whenever retailers roll out Apple deals, if you see an offer that you like, it's highly recommended to proceed with the purchase right away.

Apple MacBook Air 2020 (M1, 13-inch, 256GB SSD) -- $800, was $999

The 2020 Apple MacBook Air is powered by Apple's M1 chip, and nearly three years later, it's still a powerful laptop that will be able to keep up with all the tasks that you have to accomplish each day. The device is equipped with a gorgeous 13.3-inch Retina display, and it's worth buying it just for that alone since you'll be spending hours at a time staring at the screen. The 2020 Apple MacBook Air also features a 256GB SSD for storage, 8GB of RAM, and a battery that can last up to 18 hours on a single charge.

Ends tonight: The 5 best laptop deals in Best Buy’s 3-day sale

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.
