The M4 MacBook Pro simply doesn’t need to go on sale to sell, it’s why discounts on it are so rare. So, if you’ve been holding out for a chance to get one for less than $1,599, now could be your best chance to do so while it’s down to $1,299.

It’s my preferred laptop because of its vibrant screen, long battery life and multiple ports, and it's almost 20% off right now.

Then there’s speed. Regardless of which test you look at, the MacBook Pro is generally faster than the Air laptops, and its active cooling system allows it to sustain peak performance for more extended periods without thermal throttling. In contrast, the fanless MacBook Air may see performance dips during prolonged intensive tasks.
