Apple’s M1 Pro and M1 max-equipped MacBook Pros are all that difficult to find a deal on a new MacBook or Mac Mini. The new Pro models are a slightly different story for the newer M1 Pro models.
There are still some lingering discounts available for older, Intel-based versions. But we strongly recommend opting for a newer model now that Apple has introduced its M1 chips across the MacBook Air and Pro lines.
Apple’s refurbished store provides a one-year warranty on all products. Usually has discounts of 15 to 20 percent off the price of a new model. Two other retailers to look at for refurbished MacBooks are best buy and Amazon.
The MacBook Air is Apple’s entry-level laptop. It’s best suited for typical productivity work, with a comfortable keyboard, excellent trackpad, and all-day battery life.
