SAVE $100: Typically $1,499, the all-new Apple MacBook Pro with 512GB of storage space is on sale for just $1,399 on Amazon as of Dec. 23.


Five shiny new iPhones, four new MacBooks, three new iPads, two new Apple Watches, and a super expensive pair of AirPods Max. You could almost write a “12 Days of Christmas” remix with all of the new gadgets Apple released in 2020.

While most of them failed to bring anything groundbreaking to the table spec-wise (as iFixit teardowns would eventually confirm), the new custom-made M1 silicon chip Apple developed for its latest MacBook Air and Pro models has some exciting potential. Now that it’s officially ditched Intel chips, writes Mashable tech reporter Brenda Stolyar, “not only can Apple operate on its own schedule, but it also has the freedom to push the envelope on its own computers — be it for features, availability, or performance.”

If you’re thinking about upgrading, now’s an excellent time to do so: The 512GB configuration of the new M1-equipped MacBook Pro is on sale on Amazon for $1,399, which is a solid $100 off its suggested retail price of $1,499. (That’s its biggest discount yet and an even better deal than its Black Friday pricing.)

Along with that M1 chip, which gives it a 2.8x performance boost and delivers 5x faster graphics compared to older Pro models, this 13-inch laptop’s other claim to fame is its battery life: It’s got the longest of any Mac ever, offering up to 17 hours of wireless web browsing and as many as 20 hours of video playback on a single charge. (That’s twice as much juice as the previous generation.) 

Apple has also taken it upon itself to improve the machine’s camera image quality with better noise reduction and white balance, although its FaceTime HD camera still has a meager 720p resolution — consider grabbing an HD webcam if you’re on Zoom a lot.
