Why isn't the 16" generally on sale?

B & H has few 16" models on sale. (10cores, 512 GB for 2199). Using their payboo store card, B & H covers taxes.

Where you guys see Costco $500 cashcard deal?

That was a deal a few weeks back. I just got my Digital Cash Card 2 days ago. Smilie

I bought the 14" M1 pro model when it was new in 2021. I was upgrading from a weary 2012 macbook air. The few cons I'd say is the latest itunes version blows ass and you will occasionally find hiccups with Apple silicon support. Finally, the battery probably hits me 6-8 hours which I wish was longer. Other than that, holy moses I love this thing. Great speed, lots of ports, phenomenal screen. I have a wide 1440p monitor and it doesn't look so great there, unfortunately. My main uses are casual, but I have done some music production and video editing and it runs real quick. I love this thing and I paid more. I also got the 1tb model, which I think should be a minimum.

What's important to note, though, is that the 6-8 hours of battery life you mention is at FULL CPU SPEED, not some throttled "I'm on battery; help, help!" mode. It's not like my Dell i5-112650H/3050 model, where I can see performance does drop a bit when it's on battery (yes, even in 'performance' mode) - never mind that while in that mode, battery life might be an hour or two if I dare to use the GPU.

That's a very substantial difference in the overall user experience.

$1350 for a 14" MacBook Pro is actually pretty good from a financial perspective - I bet you could sell it for nearly that much in a year.

I doubt it. If you sell it at eBay, then yes you can sell it at $1200-$1300, but you have to pay 12% service fee. If you sell it locally, good luck.

If you say so. My $749 MacBook Air M1 I bought over a year ago is still over $600 for the lowest-priced 'Good' condition one on Swappa. I'd rather pay ~$150 for 13.5 months of use of a MacBook Air than twice that much in depreciation for a 'cheaper' PC laptop.

Also tough to find deals on the 32GB models. Hoping that changes soon.

4 out of 10 I have to deal with scam buyers. Swappa didn't do nothing even after I submitted entire video of how packed my product with correct SN being showed and all the way to postal office. YMMV. What I gained from other sales can't even cover half of what I lost.

This is now standard price for 14 inch 512 gb variant, many of the retailers are selling these as black friday deal means very unlikely price will drop even further beyond this. Now remember, there is deal on slightly bumped up specced model, 10 core cpu/ 16 core gpu/ 1 tb ssd.. this model mrp 2500 and was 2100 recently. Now that model is at all time low price at 2000. With 400 extra you get extra cpu, extra gpu and additional 512 gb storage. This is lowest price ever.

2021 Apple MacBook Pro (14-inch, Apple M1 Pro chip with 10‑core CPU and 16‑core GPU, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD) - Silver https://a.co/70CTqE8

Also note, discover 5% cashback which means additional 80 - 100$ savings.

Where did you find this deal?

Or hold onto it for 3-5 years and still have it working laugh out loud

My LG Gram is already being a b***h when I skipped a few software updates and tried to get everything back in line.

They can have my 13" MBA i7 16GB when they pry it from my cold dead hands Big Grin

Just bought a used one with AppleCare on eBay. Not a power user, but wanted to make sure it would last the next 5 years so got one with M1 Pro max, 64gb ram and 1 tb. These machines are a beast.

Does anyone know the best place to get MacBook Pro 16"? We went Best Buy last week and they had $400 off but according to their website, it's full price again. 🫠

This one unless you very much need it to be thinner and lighter, or a color other than space gray.
