If you're in the market for a new Apple laptop, there are plenty of discounts available. While there are more generous savings with slightly older models, like Apple's M1-powered MacBook Pro, you can still find some solid discounts on Apple's M2-equipped notebooks. These include the new MacBook Air as well as Apple's smaller 13.3-inch MacBook Pro. Those seeking a larger-format Apple notebook, like the 14- or 16-inch Pro, will have to settle for the M1 models if they want to save a bit of money.

The MacBook Pro with M1 is now up to $400 off, making the 16-inch model an excellent all-around laptop for those who don't need the extreme performance that the latest silicon brings. If you're still on the fence on which model is the best fit for your workflow, be sure to check out our Apple MacBook buying guide. The slightly older notebook is still an excellent choice for less-demanding users, casual home computing, and college students on a tight budget. Here are some of the best deals we've spotted for Apple's laptops.

Apple MacBook Pro with M2 processor

Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch with Touch Bar and M2 for $1,100 (was $1,300) at Amazon: Although Apple's newer 14- and 16-inch displays are all the rage, if you want a more compact MacBook Pro, the 13-inch model is still the way to go. This laptop ships with 256GB of onboard storage, an eight-core CPU and 10-core GPU, a 16-core Neural Engine, and up to 20 hours of battery life. And even though it's a polarizing feature, it's one of the last remaining MacBook models to ship with Apple's Touch Bar.
