Let’s address the elephant in the room — yes, the transition to ARM-based MacBook Pros is happening and rumors are swirling about an update to the 16-inch model coming with an M1X chip. But while many people will see this as a bad time to buy, we see an opportunity, because these leaks correlate nicely with this significant price drop on a model that is more than powerful enough for your pro user needs! The 2.6-GHz, 6-core Intel Core i7 and 16GB of DDR4 RAM keeps this running at a lightning speed, paired with a fast 512GB SSD for plenty of storage. Plus, a key benefit to this over the M1 MacBook Pro is a dedicated AMD Radeon 5300M GPU for anything graphically intense like gaming or the higher end of creative tools. And from the gorgeous Retina Display with 500 nits of brightness and a wide P3 color gamut, to the surprisingly bassy dual speaker setup, this is a joy to look at and listen to. This is a seriously good laptop. Interested? Jump into the rest of Apple’s ecosystem with our picks of the best deals on devices from the team at Cupertino.
