Late yesterday afternoon we spotted Amazon dropping the base model M4 MacBook Pro down to $1,395, or $204 off, to match the best we have ever tracked. That deal is still up for grabs right here, but for folks looking at a more powerful M4 Pro model,

MacBook Pro M4: Features a 14.2-inch Mini-LED ProMotion display with a 120Hz refresh rate and 1,000 nits of brightness. Its higher pixel density (254 PPI compared to the Air’s 224 PPI) and superior color accuracy make it ideal for creative professionals working on photo editing, video production, or graphic design.

We’re getting antsy for a more significant redesign, but the MacBook Air 15-inch remains Apple's best value in a big-screen laptop, thanks to a lower starting price, kicked-up CPU performance, and a boost in the base model's memory capacity.
