Red alert, Apple fans: The latest MacBook Pro 14-inch is available at its lowest price ever with this early Amazon Prime Day deal

Discounts on MacBooks are rare, but it looks like Apple is coming up with a deal this Amazon Prime Day that sees the price of the latest M3 Pro MacBook Pro 14-inch drop to just $1,699 at Amazon—the lowest price ever, according to our records. And that’s for a mid-range configuration too; if you want the cheapest M3 MacBook Pro, it’s currently just $1,449 at Amazon.

The shiny new model of Apple’s incredible professional laptop performed very well in our 14-inch MacBook Pro review, where we praised its phenomenal performance and battery life. In fact, our main criticism was the high starting price, which has been remedied by this deal. Significant discounts on Apple products are hard to come by, and this really is a superb laptop.

UK shoppers will be pleased to hear that it’s on offer there too, albeit with a slightly smaller discount, now for just £1,494.99 at Amazon – still a solid price for one of the best (and most future-proof) macOS devices money can buy. There are actually plenty of models on offer, which you can check out below, meaning you can choose between different M3 processors and display sizes.

Apple’s M3 series silicon chips represent a bigger step forward than the performance gap we saw between M1 and M2. And the built-in Neural Engine for handling dedicated AI workloads makes this laptop a future-proof choice as AI tools make their way into more and more aspects of our daily digital lives.

Of course, it’s also just a really beautiful piece of tech. Those who know my writing well know that I’m a bit of an Apple cynic, but that’s more in reference to predatory pricing and iPhone gimmicks: the MacBook Pro is a beautiful piece of hardware, and the all-metal chassis means it’s also more durable than many of the best laptops on the market.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s still a really high-quality laptop with a price tag to match, but these deals help to soften the blow to your wallet a little – and honestly make it a really good value for users who need a work laptop that will last a long time, as the battery life on offer here is among the best in the business.
