There are good laptops, and then there’s the new MacBook Pro, which is a superb combination of price and performance. We have some issues with the entry level model’s price, but this deal makes it wasy to recommend: The 14-inch M3 MacBook Pro is $300 off at Amazon, making it available for purchase for a palatable $1,299, the same price as the 13-inch model it replaced.

This laptop features a powerful M3 chip with an 8-core CPU and 10-core GPU, easily sustaining any task you have to perform, either for fun or for work, and the screen is a 14.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR display with an amazing 500nits of brightness, ensuring you can use it anywhere you go. In our review of the M3 MacBook Pro, our expert gave it a 4-star rating, praising the device’s powerful performance, as well as the excellent display and speakers.

“The audio quality from the six-speaker sound system with force-canceling woofers leaves nothing to be desired–external speakers are superfluous. It’s another big improvement over the stereo speakers in the 13-inch MacBook Pro,” we noted. Basically, you can rely on the built-in speakers for Zoom calls or music while you work.

The M3 MacBook Pro also promises a fantastic battery life of more than 20 hours on a single charge. That’s more than enough to get through a workday (and some overtime) without missing your charger. It’s time to save $300 and get yourself an amazing laptop, as the MacBook Pro is down to $1,299 at Amazon right now.
