Apple products don't go on sale very often, but Cyber Monday is no ordinary time of the year. 

Best Buy is selling the 13-inch MacBook Pro with a 256GB SSD for just $1,199 after a $300 discount. As part of its Cyber Monday savings, the retailer also has the 128GB model for $1,099, or $200 off. 

The 13-inch MacBook Pro is the best Apple laptop for most users because of its fast performance and relatively affordable price.

If you need more storage, this higher-end MacBook Pro is $300 off. The specific model comes with a Core i5 CPU, 8GB of RAM, a 256GB SSD and two Thunderbolt 3 ports.

In our 13-inch MacBook Pro review, we praised the smaller model with Touch Bar for its speedy performance, premium aluminum design and beautiful Retina display. 

While the battery life could be a bit longer (8 hours and 41 minutes isn't bad, though), the MacBook Pro gets you powerful speakers, an improved keyboard (although it's still with Butterfly switches) and a useful Touch ID fingerprint sensor. 

We should reiterate: MacBooks don't go on sale very often, and this $300 discount is one of the steepest deals available on any Apple laptop.
