Today we are featuring another chance for folks to score an M3 Pro MacBook Pro at a massive $500 off the price you would pay Apple. At this point, we all know the new M4 Macs are on the way, and very soon at that. But for those looking to save some serious cash on a machine that will remain relevant for years to come in my opinion, today's deal is worth a closer look. Over at Best Buy you'll find the 16-inch M3 Pro MacBook Pro with 18GB of RAM sitting down at $1,999 shipped. This is a regularly $2,499 configuration that is now $500 off to match our previous mention.

For further comparison, Amazon doesn't even have this model in stock anymore - something we are seeing more and more as we approach the debut of the new M4 machines. While we had a good run across the various configurations of current-generation MacBook Pros with serious deals, those opportunities are quickly disappearing.

On that note, let's quickly take a look at some discounted pricing across the lineup in case the 16-incher featured up top isn't working for you:

Clearly the new machines are on the way and some folks would rather just wait to pay full price or trade up for one - totally understandable. But you might be waiting roughly a year before you see those models drop as much as $500 like we are seeing today.

And the still current-gen machines are indeed Apple Intelligence-ready with (outside of the base model M3) plenty of RAM starting at 18GB and a design that will likely be, at least in aesthetics, similar to what we see on the next-gen models.

The 16-inch MacBook Pro blasts forward with M3 Pro and M3 Max, radically advanced chips that bring massive performance and capabilities for the most extreme workflows. With industry-leading battery life -- up to 22 hours -- and a beautiful Liquid Retina XDR display, it's a pro laptop without equal. Now in a new color: Space Black.
