With the new M4 MacBook Pros slated to land this fall, we are now seeing a fantastic price drops on the current M3 models that will remain a compelling option well into the future if you ask me. After seeing a new low land on the entry-level 14-inch model with 8GB of RAM at $1,299 yesterday, Amazon has now dropped the price on the elevated variant with 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD down to $1,699 shipped in both colorways. This is a regularly $1,999 machine that is now seeing straight up $300 price drop to deliver the lowest price we have tracked on Amazon. This deal is also matched at Best Buy as part of its weekend Apple sale event.
For further comparison, the only other option we can find for less to land an M3 MacBook Pro with 16GB of RAM is this B&H listing that has this model with a 512GB internal SSD down at $1,599 from the usual $1,799. While this is only a $200 price drop on a machine with the half the storage, it is still a notable option to save another $100 for folks that seriously favor the RAM over the storage capacity.
Either way, and as expected at this time of year, we are looking at the best price drops across Apple’s latest lineup of MacBooks, and that includes both the Pro models and the latest M3 MacBook Air that isn’t slated for a refresh until mid 2025.
