Best Buy is now offering a rare chance to save on an open-box M3 Pro MacBook Pro. Right now, the 16-inch version with an elevated 36GB of memory clocks in at $2,402.99 shipped for an Open-Box Excellent condition unit. That’s well below the usual $2,899 going rate and an extra $246 under the last sale price we saw to start off the year. If you’ve been waiting for a chance to save on a MacBook with more than 8GB of RAM, Best Buy has your back today with Apple’s latest release and its 36GB of onboard memory. There’s plenty more to like about the new MacBook Pro, and we break that down below the fold.

I explore that a bit more below the fold.

Update: Amazon is stepping in to continue the $100 in savings on Apple Watch Series 9. This time though, it is applying it to the smaller 41mm model at $299 shipped. This is $10 below our previous mention and a new all-time low.

If Samsung’s own first-party pre-orders haven’t sold you on the new Galaxy S24 series, then Best Buy’s promotions just might. The retailer is stepping in ahead of launch to offer some even more compelling deals on all three of the new smartphones. Right now you can get the Galaxy S24 Ultra for $1,299.99 shipped, with the elevated 512GB capacity clocking in at the same price as the 256GB model. It includes $120 in savings as you’ll find direct from Samsung, but also a $150 gift card to spend on future purchases. That saves you $270 off your new handset, with elevated trade-in rates scoring you an extra $750 in cash back. Head below for more.
