Best Buy, you’ve done it again. I just spotted this $310 discount on the 16-inch Apple MacBook Pro (M4 Pro), dropping the price to $2,189 (was $2,499). Yes, that’s still a sizable chunk of change. But when you consider that this is easily one of Apple‘s most performant laptops it has ever released, any price cut significantly raises the value on offer.

So why not just go with one of the latest M5 MacBooks? Well, the M4 Pro is actually more performant in multi-core tasks like video editing, 3D rendering, and graphic design. Which is exactly why we chose it for our best Macs and MacBooks roundup, at the “best for content creators” spot, over an M5 model.

The base configuration here also comes with 24GB of unified memory, which is a major boon for multitasking and resource-intensive work or hobbies.

Even at its discounted $2,189 asking price, this MacBook won’t appeal to everyone. But it’s not made for everyone. Apple designed this system with creative professionals and prospective macOS gamers in mind.

The performance under the hood isn’t all you get, either. Like every MacBook, the 16-inch M4 Pro model has that touch of unmistakable Apple feng shui. You get a gorgeous Liquid Retina XDR display, 140W MagSafe charging, and a satisfying Magic Keyboard with Touch ID built in.

Pick it up today at a record-low price from Best Buy in space black or silver.
