Prime Day MacBook deals — MacBook Pro

Apple offers the MacBook Pro in two sizes, the ultraportable 13-inch MacBook Pro model, and a larger, more powerful 16-inch MacBook Pro, which Apple calls " the ultimate pro."

The 13-inch MacBook Pro has a 13.3 inch retina display, can be configured with up to a quad-core Intel Core i7 processor, 16 GB of memory and as much as two terabytes of storage. With a Touch Bar and Touch ID, the Apple MacBook Pro is one of the most versatile laptops on the market.

The 13-inch MacBook Pro normally starts at $1,299 with a quad-core Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB of RAM and 256GB of SSD storage. But with the coming sales event, we expect to see prices dip, and higher configurations to be available at better prices.

In addition to a larger screen, the 16-inch model boasts more capable hardware across the board, configurable with 8-core Intel Core i9 processors, up to 64 gigabytes of RAM, and a whopping 8 TB of storage.

And if you're still using a 15-in MacBook pro from years past, the 16-in packs that larger display into the same sleek 15-in profile. So the screen size has changed, but the standard MacBook pro dimensions have not, meaning it will work with whatever laptop bag, sleeve, or snap on case you've used with other 15-in MacBooks.

Prime Day MacBook deals — MacBook Air

Apple's cheapest MacBook is the 13-inch MacBook Air, a slim ultraportable that is also the most affordable member of the MacBook family. With a starting price of $999, it fares pretty well even when matched against the MacBook Pro. (See MacBook Air vs Pro: What's the best MacBook?) 

The MacBook Air is available only in a 13-inch size, with a 13.3 inch Retina Display, up to a four-core Intel Core i7 processor, as much as 16GB of RAM and up to 2TB of storage. The MacBook Air has Touch ID for secured signing on and authentication, but does not have the Touch Bar seen on the MacBook Pro — an omission some may see as a selling point.

Prime Day MacBook deals — Best Buy & Walmart

Amazon may get the spotlight on Prime Day, but other retailers are working hard to grab some of that attention for themselves.

Walmart will run its own major sales during the two days of Prime Day (called the Big Save event), and Best Buy has stepped up the sales competition by launching Black Friday sales in mid-October. For Apple products, Best Buy is another one of our go-to stores. These competing sales will go head-to-head against Amazon all through Prime Day.
