Amazon launched a sale that has slashed the prices of various MacBook models powered by Apple’s M1 and M2 chips, which have elevated the performance of the laptops to even greater heights. If you’ve been waiting for an opportunity to buy a new MacBook, you won’t want to miss these offers. We’ve gathered some of the best MacBook deals that you can shop right now from Amazon, but you have to hurry if you want to take advantage of any of them because they may be gone as soon as tomorrow.

13-inch MacBook Air (M1, 256GB) — $800, was $999

The Apple MacBook Air M2 is already available, but the Apple MacBook Air M1 remains a worthwhile purchase as an entry-level MacBook with a 256GB SSD for storage. It still promises smooth performance from the M1 chip with an eight-core CPU and 8GB of RAM, and you’ll enjoy vivid colors and sharp details on the MacBook Air’s 13.3-inch Retina display. The machine packs a battery that can run up to 18 hours on a single charge, and because of the thermal efficiency created by the M1 chip, it doesn’t need fans for cooling, which means it doesn’t make any noise even when dealing with demanding tasks.

14-inch MacBook Pro (M2 Pro, 512GB) — $1899, was $1999

The Apple MacBook Pro M2 Pro will be able to keep up with heavy workloads with its 10-core CPU and 16-core GPU, plus 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. The laptop also features a 14.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR display with Extreme Dynamic Range, up to 18 hours of battery life on a single charge, and an all-aluminum unibody that promises exceptional durability. The Apple MacBook Pro M2 Pro also has no shortage of ports — it’s got a MagSafe charging port, three Thunderbolt 4 ports, an SDXC card slot, an HDMI port, and a headphone jack — and it’s protected by Apple’s Touch ID fingerprint recognition system.
