The release of Apple's M2 MacBook Pro 14 and 16 three months ago gave us hope that we'd start to see big deals on the previous generations of its most powerful laptops. Finally, we've found the deal we were waiting for, with a massive $800 off the MacBook Pro 14 M1 Max.
Amazon has the 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD MacBook Pro 14 M1 Max for $3,499 $2,699. That's the cheapest price on record for this mighty configuration, beating the best price we had seen so far by $150. And if you don't need quite so much power, Amazon also has the MacBook 14 M1 Pro now at $2,499 $1,998.99.
These laptops were released in 2021 and have since been surpassed by this year's M2 Pro and Max-chipped devices. But we think most people will struggle to find anything to complain about with the performance of the M1 Max, which was designed with demanding media work in mind. When we balance performance and price, the M1 laptops still top our pick of the best laptops for video editing.
