Best Buy doubles down on sale offers with up to $400 off MacBook Pros

By Jon Martindale April 26, 2018

Following a recent price drop of the MacBook Air, Best Buy has continued its recent run of sales with a new “4 Day Sale,” that knocks even more money off a wider range of electronics. Apple products continue to be discounted, with price drops on iPhones and iPads, but the MacBook Pro has been discounted by as much as $400 for a variety of models.

While we might rank the XPS 13 as the best laptop out there right now, that’s not to say we don’t love Apple’s MacBooks, too. And fortunately, a number of them are discounted in the Best Buy sale, and though we would typically recommend the MacBook Pro without a touch bar, considering the price drops on Best Buy right now, we may need to reconsider.

The most affordable MacBook Pro on Best Buy at present is the 13-inch model with a seventh-generation Intel Core i5 CPU, 8GB of RAM, 256GB of flash storage and the on-board Intel Iris Plus 650 graphics chip. You can get all that for $1,450 with a further $50 off if you’re a student or parent of a student. There’s even a free six-month subscription of Trend Micro’s Internet Security bundled in.

That drop in price is available throughout the entire range. If you need something a bit heftier, you can grab the 15.4-inch MacBook Pro with a seventh-generation Intel Core i7 CPU, Radeon Pro 560 graphics, 16GB of memory, and a terabyte of SSD storage for $3,050 — $3,000 if you use the student discount.

There are a number of other offerings between those two models, so you don’t need to opt for either end of the spectrum to enjoy the big savings. Other products also included in the new four-day sale include Apple HomePods — in both white and black — which can be had for $330; a 49-inch Insignia 1080P LED TV for $200, and a variety of different Windows laptops, all heavily discounted.

If you’re looking to make some money from old hardware you have lying around, Best Buy also has a number of new trade-in offers, as per MacRumors. You can grab yourself a $125 Best Buy gift card for trading in an old iPad, or iPad Mini, or $70 off an Apple Watch upgrade with an older model trade-in.

Dyson V15 Detect

Best Buy's 48-hour flash sale includes price cuts for various models of Dyson cordless vacuums, so if you've had an eye on these cleaning devices for a while, now's your chance to get one for much cheaper than usual.

Dyson V7 Advanced Origin -- $300, was $400

The Dyson V7 Advanced Origin is one of the brand's more affordable cordless vacuums, but it still has what it takes to keep your whole home clean with its powerful suction and whole-machine filtration that captures pet allergens and fine dust while expelling clean air. The cordless vacuum also features a detangling Motorbar cleaner head, which deep cleans carpets and hard floors while clearing pet hair from the brush bar using hair removal vanes. It quickly switches to a handheld vacuum with one click, and it can run for up to 40 minutes on a single charge.

If you've been waiting for a discount on the GoPro Hero 11 Black, check this out -- the action camera is down to $400 from Best Buy, for savings of $100 on its original price of $500. GoPro is still the most trusted name in the action camera space, so we expect this offer to attract a lot of attention and possibly sell out quickly. If you want to get the device for cheaper than usual, you're going to have to proceed with the purchase as soon as you can.

Why you should buy the GoPro Hero 11 Black
The GoPro Hero 11 Black looks very similar to the GoPro Hero 10 Black, which is a pro-consumer move because that means you can keep using accessories from the older model when you upgrade. All of the improvements are under the hood though, including a larger sensor that will let you shoot horizontal and vertical footage at the same time without having to choose between the two formats. The GoPro Hero 11 Black can shoot 5.3K video at up to 60 frames per second, 4K at up to 120 frames per second, and 2.7K at up to 240 frames per second for super slow-motion.
