We tracked a number of notable price drops on Apple’s M3 and M3 Pro MacBook Pro machines for Memorial Day (many of which are still live for you right here), but we just spotted the silver 16-inch M3 Pro model with 18GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD drop down to $2,199 shipped at both Amazon and Best Buy. That’s $300 off the regularly $2,499 and the lowest price we can find. It also comes in at $100 below our previous mention. While in most cases the 18GB of RAM will suffice, if you need some serious RAM power, Amazon is also offering $350 off the 36GB upgraded model at $2,549, down from the regular $2,899 – this deal is also matched at Best Buy right now. Head below for additional details.
As I have mentioned before, and just in case it isn’t obvious to some, Apple’s M3 Pro machines are made for folks who need some serious computing power for video editing, massive Logic Pro sessions, or robust scientific applications (and other things like that anyway). Now some folks just want the high-end machine regardless, but if you’re not falling into one of these categories, some of the deals we are tracking on the latest M3 MacBook Air machines or the standard M3 MacBook Pro will likely do the trick.
But if it is power you’re after, the 16-inch MacBook Pro with M3 Pro delivers on the larger 16.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR display with Extreme Dynamic Range, over 1000 nits of brightness for stunning HDR content, and up to 600 nits of brightness for SDR content. From there, you’re looking at a 12‑core CPU, 18‑core GPU, 18GB or more of memory, and a 512GB SSD to start with. Up to 22 hours of battery life join a MagSafe charging port, three Thunderbolt 4 ports, an SDXC card slot, an HDMI port, and a headphone jack as well as Bluetooth 5.3 and the Magic Keyboard with Touch ID action.
