Apple announced new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with M4, M4 Pro and M4 Max chips at an event in October 2024. The upgraded MacBook Pro models arrived a year after Apple launched the M3, M3 Pro and M3 Max variants of the 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro and bring double the RAM alongside the new chips.
The new MacBook Pro models went on sale on Friday, November 8. They are available to buy now.

If you want to buy a MacBook Pro you may be wondering if you can save money by buying one of the M3-series models. These models are likely to be discounted as resellers sell off the discontinued stock. However, be aware that those models have half the RAM compared to the newer models. Apple charges $200/£200 to upgrade the RAM at point of sale, so if you find an older MacBook Pro on sale with less RAM, do make sure that the discount reflects that. Another consideration is that if you are outside the U.S. the price of the new models is less than the old models, so make sure that the discount takes that into account.
With a mixture of price rises and declines across the range in comparison to the previous generation, it could be hard to spot a really good deal. Luckily we are here to help. Our team of Apple experts search the web all year round for the top deals, offers, and discounts for the MacBook Pro–seeking out the best money-off offers to save you time.

The MacBook Air and the 13-inch MacBook Pro have a lot in common, so you might also be interested in reading our MacBook Air deals article as well.

Best MacBook Pro refurbished deals
While Apple rarely discounts new Macs, from time to time there are some excellent deals to be had in Apple’s Refurbished Store. The Macs in Apple’s refurbished store may be ex-display stock, or they may have been returned to Apple due to a fault, but they are fully reconditioned now and come with a full year’s warranty. Read about buying a refurbished Mac. It’s not only Apple that sells refurbished Macs, but Apple does offer some great incentives to buy from Apple’s Refurbished Store, so we do recommend taking a look there for great MacBook Pro deals.
You can get refurbished Macs from other suppliers too, including the following refurbished resellers listed below:
In the U.S.:
In the U.K.:
Amazon also has a certified refurbished store for Apple products but we would advise against buying any products that are older than five years – most of the products we see on the Amazon refurbished store are unfortunately very old. Another place to look is BackMarket US and BackMarket UK, which sells refurbished Macs and other Apple products. We also recommend Hoxton Macs in the U.K.
