The MacBook Pros consistently score high in reviews on Creative Bloq. But the downside is the cost. Apple itself almost never drops its prices, although it occasionally runs offers that will get you a gift voucher for discounts on other product. However, third-party retailers do often offer MacBook deals. The size of the discount can vary, from something like $50 / £50, which doesn't make much of a dent on the price, to occasional savings of up to around $400 / £400 on higher spec configurations.
Those larger savings don't tend to last long, so you need to be quick when they crop up. If you see a saving that tempts you, we advise you to go for it rather than waiting around. Be aware that we do often see savings over events like Black Friday, as well as when Apple releases now models – which it just has, with the new MacBook Pro 14-inch and 16-inch 2023 models.
