Introduced in 2020, the M1 chip boasts Apple's most impressive speed and power boosts with up to 5x the graphics performance and 2.8x the CPU performance of past models. In addition to the impressive processing specs, this generation of MacBook has up to 20-hours of battery life per charge, the longest of any MacBook Pro to date.

The M1 chip also improves the performance of the camera, making sure your Zoom meetings and facetime calls will be coming in with crystal clarity.

Other MacBook Pro versions, including the 13-inch, 516GB SSD incarnation that uses an Intel Core i7 processor rather than an M1 chip, are also on sale for similar markdowns, having been discounted from $1799 to $1649.

Also, Best Buy The Bigger Deal sale has plenty of MacBooks and Mac accessories to take a look at too, once you've completed your Prime Day order.
