Good deal but headsup for those sensitive to PWM, this screen has significantly lower PWM frequency compared to the previous MBP or MBA (current or previous).

I don't get headaches but my eyes have a hard time focusing and get tired on this machine quickly.
Open box excellent is even cheaper at $1,473.99 for me.
This seems to be standard price until Black Friday across various retailers. Not sure whether BF will see any further reduction or not but even if either retailer will price match or max difference will be 50-100$ than this price. I bought it from
Amazon at this price from last deal. If you need macbook now, do not need to wait hoping further reduction, go for it, even if at this price, this is worth it and value for money for every penny.

Great catch. Open box excellent on the 16 core/1TB variation is $1,826.99 for me. Seems like a great deal.
I snagged one as well. ~$250 more than the 14 core / 512 gb .. worth it.

Costco has the same price ($1599) and includes 2 year warranty. Is Best Buy better deal than Costco? Thanks for the advice here
Yes because BB has a 1 yr warranty.

(Out of curiosity, which 13" Pro do you have currently?)

If you're concerned about performance and throttling—and you're experiencing issues with them in your current day-to-day usage—the 14" Pro is the way to go. You get twice as many high-performance cores as the base M1, twice as many graphics cores, active cooling, and twice the RAM and SSD on the base configuration. You don't want to get a brand new laptop and risk hitting its performance ceiling right out of the box.

I'm not sure how to differentiate it to answer you. But it's a 2019 model with an intel processor. Beyond the terrible performance, awful battery and keyboard where the same key keeps getting stuck despite replacing it 3 times, it does get really hot to the point I always use a laptop pad. And it makes a lot of fan noise.

I think one of the issues is I have to use chrome for work and keep multiple tabs open all the time (5-6). But that really shouldn't be too tough for a laptop to handle this day and age.

I've heard the Air M2 and 14 Pro M1 are both fantastic. I like the idea of having the Air battery life and lower weight, but I don't want to get a computer that isn't strong enough for my needs performance wise.

If you're considering the M2 Air, the base 256GB model should probably be out of the question due to its poor SSD performance. The 512GB model is $1500, so at that point, it's only $100 more to step up to the 14" Pro. Unless you're always on the go and really need the extra battery life, the Pro is a clear winner for your use case. Mine gets me through an entire day of development and graphics work with battery to spare.

The M2 Air is in a strange place price-wise right now, so if you don't want the Pro, the M1 Air is a great choice. It's just $800 for the base model and should hold its value well in case you want to upgrade down the line.

As someone who used an Intel MBP for years: you're gonna be so happy with the Apple Silicon Macs. It's crazy that we ever put up with all that heat and fan noise.

Ok that last paragraph makes me feel better. Let me be clear — this is a work laptop so the cost isn't an issue. It's about getting me a laptop that won't have me pulling out my hair daily like this one.

As you said, I've heard amazing things about the 14 Pro M1. I just want to make sure I'm not getting some big beast laptop when I may not need it and could otherwise have the light weight and long battery life of the air.

In terms of my use cases … I'm home 90% of the time. But I do use it on my lap on the couch more than I do stationary at a desk. Probably … 60% on my lap at home, 30% on a desk at home, 10% on a flat surface out of the house.

The days of putting on headphones during work meetings because you can't hear your colleagues over the fan noise will soon be over!

If work is footing the bill, I'd probably choose between the M2 Air 16GB/512GB and the base 14" Pro. That Air configuration is $100 more expensive and slower across the board, but it gets you the super-sleek chassis and longer battery life. If it was your own money, I'd pick the Pro for the performance overhead (and thus longer service life). In your case, though, it's probably worth just using both at a store display and seeing which one you love. Either one will be a huge quality of life upgrade over your Intel model.

I use my laptop on my lap, and prefer the M2 Air over the MacBook Pro 14 due to the lighter weight. I had an older 2011 Air before, so I got used to the low weight. I bought and returned the MacBook Pro before buying the M2 Air.

How do you find the performance? What kind of programs are you using and at what intensity? What about stuff like heat and fan noise?

The MacBook Pro 14" is absolutely worth it. Picked one up when the deal started at Costco a week ago. I had originally purchased the MacBook Air M1 at the current sale price, and though it was a good machine and a bit more portable, just didn't have the same build quality and future proofing as the 14"; it went back to make room for the 14".

It's a tough decision at nearly double the cost, but it's the best decision if budget permits and you need/see value in a highly upgraded model above the MacBook Air M1.

I just purchased this on amazon last night 2021 Apple MacBook Pro (14-inch, Apple M1 Pro chip with 8‑core CPU and 14‑core GPU, 16GB RAM, 51... [amazon.com]
for $1599 + tax - 5% cashback from using chase amazon

I can return and buy the "latest model" on this thread through BB [bestbuy.com] without the 5% cashback

The only thing I can see as different (perhaps I'm an idiot!) is that its the 2021 version versus the 2022 at BB - is there any big difference between years? I can understand for resell value later it matters slightly, but performance or feature wise are we talking about the same thing?

I have not used it for anything other than email, Zoom meetings and surfing the web yet. It works fine, with no heating up and no fan noise, since it does not have a fan.

The Macs on both offers are the exact same. It was originally released in 2021, but it is the latest model version of the MacBook 14 pro line. There were rumors than a 2022 version was about to be released, but more recent rumors are that an updated version may not be released until next year.

I'm trying to find a way to get a 16" M1 Pro with 32GB RAM but BestBuy seems to force the M1 Max processor on you when you switch to 32GB, does anyone know if this can be avoided or if another outlet has this configuration on sale?

Seems the 14" 16 core/1 TB has dropped to $2000 flat on Amazon. Looks like if you have Totaltech, Best Buy has that price as well
