MacBook discounts can be few and far between, but it looks like Apple is coming out swinging this Amazon Prime Day, with an early deal dropping the price of the latest M3 Pro MacBook Pro 14-inch to just $1,699 at Amazon – the cheapest it’s ever been, by our records. That’s for a midrange configuration, too; if you want the cheapest M3 MacBook Pro, that’s just $1,449 at Amazon right now.
The shiny new model of Apple’s incredible professional laptop scored highly in our MacBook Pro 14-inch review, where we praised its phenomenal performance and battery life. In fact, our main criticism was the high entry price, which this deal rectifies. Significant discounts on Apple products can be hard to come by, and this is truly one excellent laptop.
Shoppers over in the UK will be pleased to hear that it’s on sale there too, albeit at a slightly smaller discount, now just £1,494.99 at Amazon – still a solid price for one of the best (and most future-proofed) macOS devices money can buy. There are actually plenty of models on sale, which you can check out below, meaning you’ve got a choice of different M3 processors and display sizes.

Apple’s M3-series silicon represents a larger step forward than the generational performance gap we saw between M1 and M2, and the built-in Neural Engine for handling dedicated AI workloads makes this a future-proofed choice of laptop as AI tools seep into more and more aspects of our daily digital lives.
Of course, it’s also just a truly lovely piece of kit. Those who know my writing well know that I’m a bit of an Apple cynic, but that’s aimed more toward predatory pricing and iPhone shenanigans: the MacBook Pro is a gorgeous bit of hardware, and the all-metal exterior means that it’s also more durable than many of the best laptops on the market.
Now, don’t get me wrong, it’s still a seriously premium laptop with a price tag to match, but these deals help cushion that blow to your wallet a little – and frankly make it genuinely good value for users who need a work laptop that can go the distance, since the battery life on offer here is some of the best in the business. If you want something a bit cheaper (or you’d prefer a ChromeOS or Windows laptop), you can check out our best Prime Day laptop deals, too!
