The world of Apple laptops is better than ever right now thanks to a wide range of options that can fit into most budgets. It's just a good time to be buying one, or a fan of the Apple ecosystem. Well, thanks to a range of deals available today, it's even better, because you can get your hands on an M3 MacBook Pro with up to $400 off at Best Buy. There's a range of models available, so you should be able to find one that fits your needs and budget.
The M3 series uses one of three processors -- the M3, M3 Pro and M3 Max. All three versions are on sale now. Apple's M3 series chips offer a significant performance bump over their M1 and M2 predecessors, which is partly why Apple's M3 devices landed on our lists of the best laptops -- though they have just last month been surpassed by the M4 lineup.

Regardless, the M3 models are still exceptional laptops in 2024. The 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD M3 MacBook Pro 14-inch is a great option at $400 off if you're looking for something fast with solid battery life and a bright screen, along with Wi-Fi 6E and HDMI 2.1 support. But this MacBook Pro M3 isn't the only deal available right now. You can get an M3 Pro-equipped model at up to $400 off, or get the fully souped-up version with a boosted 36GB of RAM and top-end M3 Max chip down at $2,699, also $400 off its usual price of $3,099.
There are a range of options on sale in this event,, but it ends tonight, Dec. 11, so if you like the look of any of them, make sure you act fast to avoid missing out. You can also pair this with some great giftable tech if you're buying it for a college student or someone who needs a new laptop for work.
Why this deal matters
MacBooks aren't cheap devices, so any sale on them is worth paying attention to. While they do get knocked down during events like Prime Day and Black Friday, it's far less common to find a range of deals available in general. This event offers discounts on a fair few models, which makes it a great time to get a more budget or more premium option.
