As with Amazon Prime Day in July, Amazon Prime Big Deal Days (Tuesday and Wednesday) bring excellent deals on Apple’s popular laptops, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air. In fact, you can nab the very same M4 Pro MacBook Pro I have for $250 less than I paid — my exact model with 24GB RAM at $1,799. And you can get the base M4 MacBook Pro for an incredibly low starting price of $1,399. Plus some Prime Day MacBook Pro deals net you hundreds off higher-end models.

As for MacBook Air, the entry-level model now sells for a low $799. And you can add some bells and whistles for a bit more. Scroll down to see Prime Day MacBook Air deals.

MacBook Pro with M4 Pro chip

I reviewed my M4 Pro MacBook Pro for Cult of Mac shortly after I picked up the machine at an Apple Store. I gave the beast of a laptop 4.5 out of 5 stars. If it had been redesigned to be even more sleek and efficient, of course I would have gladly bestowed 5 stars on it. I also figured the cool-looking space black machine into a Setups feature, since it’s the most-important item in my workstation.

My review pretty much raved about the speed and power inherent to the laptop’s specs — a 12-core CPU and a 16-core GPU working with 24GB of unified memory, plus a 512GB SSD for storage. It’s an embarrassment of riches for a sub-power user like me. Sure, I work with loads of open windows and tabs in browsers. I watch plenty of video and listen to lots of music. And I run middling photo-editing software along with a web-publishing program. But it’s not like I’m rendering 3D animation or anything major like that.

Also in the box: At first it seemed odd the MagSafe 3 cable doesn’t match the 70-watt adapter, but of course it matches the laptop.

Apple's flagship laptop packs a roomy 16-inch 120Hz display, powerful internals with 24GB memory, and all-day battery life.

Pros:
  • M4 Pro chip is powerful and efficient

For me, the machine’s formidable strengths are amazing for what I do now with the laptop, and will simply future-proof me from having to buy something else for years to come. And if I decide to get more into gaming — or 3D animation — I have a tool for that.

One note in my review later got more of an explanation that may be worth mentioning. Comparing the new laptop to my old M1 Pro MacBook, I felt the new one’s display looked better. I chalked it up to an improved anti-glare coating. And that’s true, but the more-specific explanation came along when news broke that Apple had sprung for quantum dot displays in the M4 MacBook Pro lineup. So that’s another reason to grab one while the price is low.

Buy it on Amazon: 2024 M4 Pro MacBook Pro laptop with 12‑core CPU, 16‑core GPU, 14.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR Display, 24GB Unified Memory, 512GB SSD Storage; Space Black — $1,999 $1,799 ($200 off, or 10%)
