Save an impressive $774 on Apple’s latest 36GB M4 Max MacBook Pro (open-box, 1-year warranty), or enjoy a $350 discount on a brand new model

Currently, we are tracking several Amazon deals on various M4 MacBook Pro configurations (see below for details). For those in need of robust performance, there’s a fantastic offer on the M4 Max setup. Apple’s most cost-effective stock M4 Max configuration with 36GB RAM and a 1TB SSD is normally priced at $3,199, but Amazon is now offering the Space Black model for just $2,849 shipped, a discount of $350 off the standard rate. This marks the lowest price we’ve recorded for the Space Black variant. Additionally, continue reading for a considerable price drop on an open-box model.

Last year, we noted a limited one-day Black Friday deal on this model at $50 off; however, today’s discount rivals the best we’ve seen for the Space Black version. While there have been some in-store deals offering lower prices, this $350 drop is significant for anyone looking to purchase online.

For comparison, this model is available at Best Buy for $3,049, but you can find open-box listings priced at $2,424.99 shipped in “excellent condition” with a full 1-year Apple warranty. This represents a substantial $774 savings and is one of the best deals we have encountered from a respected source offering an official Apple warranty.

While a discount of $774 is certainly attractive, the M4 Max is primarily targeted towards power users involved in demanding tasks such as Final Cut sessions, scientific simulations, or 3D rendering. Therefore, many users might be better off opting for a more affordable model from Apple’s lineup. Below are some of the best current deals available:

Amazon has reinstated its gigantic $400 price cut on the upgraded 24GB M3 MacBook Air now available for $1,099 ($600 off the original price)

Update 3/19: The discounted 13-inch M3 MacBook Air with 24GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD is back in stock for $1,099 (Regular $1,499, Original $1,699). More details can be found in the original post below.

The all-new M4 MacBook Air is now up for pre-order on Amazon starting from $999, along with notable trade-in offers at Best Buy and direct $50 cash discounts for paid members. Starting prices have been reduced by $100, and a delightful new Sky Blue color option has been introduced; however, Amazon is clearing out the M3 MacBook Air models at their best prices to date, offering discounts of $300 or $500 off the original prices. More details below.

Although the most affordable M3 models remain at $200 off the new list prices (or $400 off the original prices), the 24GB configurations for both the 13-inch and 15-inch variants have now dropped an additional $100, achieving their lowest prices ever:

As a reminder, Apple increased the RAM on these models late last year without raising prices. Thus, while these Amazon listings show a discount of $300 off the current price, they are actually $500 off what the originals were.

Both sizes of the newest official blue Apple Watch Trail Loop are now at the all-time low of $79

Many models and sizes from the ongoing Amazon Apple Watch band sale are still available, with several of the official Apple 2024 versions currently at their best prices yet. We want to highlight the latest official Apple Trail Loop in Blue, as both sizes are now available at the $79 shipped all-time low.

Regularly priced at $99, this represents a direct 20% discount, making it the lowest price we have historically tracked for this model. As we noted in our earlier coverage of the Tan Alpine Loop, this is consistent with the lowest prices on any of the new official models Apple released last fall.

It’s uncommon to find all sizes on sale simultaneously, especially for the newest models; thus, today’s deal on both the S/M and M/L Trail Loops in blue is remarkable.

Ready to grab a new M3 iPad Air or iPad mini 7? The compatible Apple Pencil Pro is priced at $99 for the holiday season (nearly 25% off)

If you’ve recently acquired a new M3 iPad Air (hopefully not at full price), one of the latest iPad mini 7 models now on sale at $100 off, or some of the notable deals on the M4 iPad Pro we’ve highlighted, you might want to check the discounted price on the Apple Pencil Pro too. Amazon is currently offering Apple’s cutting-edge iPad stylus for just $99 shipped – this is the lowest price we’ve recorded all year and is consistent with the official holiday listings from 2024.

While there was a brief period when we saw prices dip to around $94, those promotions are no longer available. The Apple Pencil Pro has not been priced below $99 again since it briefly hit $95 during the Black Friday sales and was subsequently out of stock on Amazon.
