The 16-inch MacBook Pro M3 may be Apple’s fastest laptop, but aside from a new color and a slightly faster chip, there’s not much to get excited about. So when we see a fantastic deal on the M2 Mode, we’ll let you know: Official Apple reseller Expercom (via Amazon) is selling the M2 Pro 16-inch MacBook Pro with 512GB of storage and 16GB of RAM for $1,999 , a savings of $500 and the lowest price we’ve ever seen.
Compared to the M3 Pro model, you get a slightly slower M2 Pro chip with a 12-core CPU and 19-core GP with this MacBook Pro, and that’s really it. Otherwise, the machines are identical, with the same excellent ProMotion display and ports as the M3 model (three Thunderbolt ports, an SD card reader, and HDMI 2.1), battery life, speakers, camera, and keyboard . The only other new thing you won’t get is the new Space Black color, but we still like Space Gray.
In our 4.5-star review of the 16-inch MacBook Pro M2 Pro, we praised its performance and features and said “there’s no reason to wait any longer” to upgrade to Apple silicon. We also found that “your money will absolutely be well spent” even if you upgrade from an M1 Pro mode. And it is to complete price.
So if you just want a fantastic laptop without worrying about having the latest one, buy one and save $500 right now.
