The M4 MacBook Pro is the fastest laptop in the world — get it for $200 off

Save $200: On Black Friday Eve, you can grab the new M4 MacBook Pro for $1,399 — a $200 price drop — at Best Buy and Amazon.

For certain types of professionals, it's MacBook Pro or bust. Sure, there are Windows laptops that can run Final Cut and Photoshop without making your work life a living hell, but MacBooks just have that ineffable cool factor —especially in the new Midnight Black color. (Fair warning, fingerprint smudges will be your new worst enemy.) And if you need to upgrade your laptop, Black Friday is the best time to do it.

For Black Friday 2024, you can buy the new 14-inch M4 MacBook Pro laptop for $200 off its retail price. The base model comes with a 10‑core CPU and 10‑core GPU, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of SSD storage. And if you need a little more firepower, you can opt for the 16-inch version with the M4 Max chip (or a more specced-out version of the 14-incher). We know what you're wondering, and, yes, those models are on sale, too.

Ever since Apple introduced its M series silicon, it's been running laps around the competition. However, in the past year or so, Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Elite chips started matching or beating the M3. But the new MacBooks equipped with the M4 chip are back on top, according to our benchmark testing. In her review of the M4 MacBook Pro, Mashable East Coast Tech Editor Kimberly Gedeon wrote that "Windows PCs must feel sick right now."

Where can you get the best price on the MacBook Pro? Forget the Apple Store. The new M4 MacBook Pro laptop is at its lowest-ever price at Amazon and Best Buy for Black Friday. However, it's currently out of stock at Amazon, though probably not for long.
