The latest generation of the Apple MacBook Pro can deliver tremendous performance, making it a great choice for students, programmers, and creatives. The MacBook Pro with M3 Max is an Editor’s Choice laptop, our pick for the best high-performance laptop, and currently on sale at Best Buy. But hurry: This sale runs through Sunday, and it marks some of the best Apple deals we’ve seen since this year.
The deepest Apple discounts come on the 16-inch MacBook Pro models, with both M3 Pro and M3 Max configs carrying a $500 discount. We particularly like the M3 Max iterations, simply for their outstanding performance.
With this sale, you can score the base 16-inch MacBook Pro M3 Max for $2,999 instead of its $3,499 normal price. This model has an M3 Max processor with a 30-core GPU, 36GB of memory, and 1TB of SSD storage. If you’re a My Best Buy Plus member, the more expensive configuration is an even better deal, since you can take an additional $500 off the price — for a total of a whopping $1,000 off a MacBook Pro. The pricier config bumps system memory to 48GB and the GPU to 40 cores, all for $2,999 instead of $3,999.
Apple’s M3 Max processor runs up to 2.5x faster than the 16-inch MacBook Pro M1 Max series, and it’s faster than the M3 Pro chip. But if you need a MacBook Pro at a lower price than our recommendation, then look at the 16-inch MacBook Pro M3 is also on sale for $500 off and costs $1,999 with the discount. With 18GB of memory and a 512GB SSD, this model has plenty of oomph to service a wide range of computing needs.
