Apple price hikes loom: Where to lock in a MacBook deal now

Uh-oh. Apple boss Tim Cook is warning that “price increases are unavoidable” due to the on-going price-hikes for RAM and graphics cards. That means we can all look forward to paying even more for laptops, phones, and tablets (and likely everywhere else).

And as if by magic, ahead of Prime Day, Amazon has a host of MacBook laptop deals discounted right now across the M5-powered suite in the US and UK. This includes the all-round powerhouse MacBook Pro 14-inch and MacBook Air 13-inch, the best ultraportable for business travel we’ve ever tested. I’ve tracked down the best prices here, so you can check out the full line-up for the US and UK below and beat that “unavoidable” price increase.

Based on our tests, Apple’s laptops remain performance-driven stars for business and creative professionals. Given the threats of price-hikes across the Apple stable and the deep discounts on Amazon, now feels like the perfect time to upgrade. For more details, we covered the full details of Cook’s statement and what it means here.
