MACBOOK PRO BLACK FRIDAY DEALS

Over Black Friday, it’s usually a safe bet that the biggest bargains will be on slightly older models. Apple launched a 16-inch MacBook Pro in late 2019, and this resulted in some price drops on the previous 15-inch MacBook Pro (2019) in the 2019 Black Friday MacBook sale. However, most of the best deals were on the (also pretty new) 13-inch MacBook Pro. 2020 may be similar.

The MacBook Pro’s high price – especially on, say, the Touch Bar models – means it’s easier for retailers to deliver a huge temporary price cut and still turn a profit, so if you’re looking for a powerful creative laptop it’s worth bearing in mind. You’ll still be paying out quite a bit for it, but it’ll be worth the expense.
