Apple's M1-charged MacBook Pro has everything you could ever want in a laptop — speed, power, and long battery life. It's among the best laptops for photo and video editing applications. The MacBook in this deal packs a 13.3-inch (2560 x 1600) Retina display, Apple M1 8-core CPU, 8GB of RAM, an 8-core GPU, and 256GB SSD.

In our MacBook Pro M1 2020 review, we loved its lightning-fast SSD, comfortable Magic Keyboard and stellar overall and gaming performance. We were also floored by its long-lasting battery which endured 16 hours and 32 minutes on our Laptop Mag Battery Test. We gave the MacBook Pro M1 a 5 out of 5 star rating and the Editor's Choice award stamp of approval.

In one test, the M1 MacBook Pro scoffed at intensive workloads. Even with 50 tabs open in Google Chrome — running Tweetdeck, Slack, YouTube, Tidal, Gmail, Google Sheets, and Twitch, the MacBook Pro M1 didn't slow down.

Design-wise, the M1 MacBook Pro retains the same iconic aluminum chassis with Space Gray finish and glossy Apple logo lineage. At 3 pounds and measuring 12 x 8.4 x 0.6 inches, the M1 MacBook Pro is a tad heavier than competitors like the Dell XPS 13 (2.8 pounds, 11.6 x 7.8 x 0.6 inches) and 13-inch HP Spectre x360 (2.7 pounds, 12.1 x 7.7 x 0.7 inches). For your connectivity needs, the MacBook Pro has two Thunderbolt ports with USB 4 support and a headphone jack.

Like all MacBook Pro deals, this one is only as good as stock permits, so be sure to jump on it while you still can.
