In recent years, Macs had been getting more and more affordable. Cheaper starting points, more memory and storage per dollar, and the introduction of Mac Book Neo. For the first time, Apple had started to become one of the best values on the market.

Unfortunately, Apple just drastically increased its prices because of the ongoing memory shortage. Macs aren’t as appealing as they were a few weeks ago, that said, there’s still some decent deals out there – and if you’re in need of a new computer, I’d still say todays Macs are a good value against the rest of the computing market. Mac Book Air Up until the launch of Mac Book Neo, the Mac Book Air represented the entry point to Apple’s laptop lineup.

Despite [PERSON_NAME] making its value proposition slightly questionable, I’d still say Mac Book Air is a great laptop if you want a better experience without needing anything premium. Mag Safe, a P3 color display, Center Stage on the webcam, and more battery life are just a few of the highlights with Mac Book Air. It also comes with a 15-inch size variant, unlike [PERSON_NAME] which only offers 13-inch.

It has some compromises compared to the aforementioned Mac Book Air, but it’s still incredibly good for the price. Build quality, display sharpness, and the mac OS experience are all essentially uncompromised.

Sure, you have to deal with a slower A18 Pro chip (though trust me, it’s no slouch), lesser ports, and 8GB of memory, but it’s perfectly reasonable for the price. It also comes in fun colors like Citrus, Blush, and [ADDRESS]. There’s no notable retail discounts on Mac Book Neo right now, though Apple does offer them refurbished for $100-120 off compared to retail pricing.

Apple refurbished offers the same 1 year warranty and a like-new experience, with every major component being replaced. You won’t find any scuffs nor battery degradation.

You get the best of the best, though there is one major caveat.

Apple is reportedly redesigning the high-end variants of Mac Book Pro later this year with OLED, touchscreens, and thinner designs. That redesign will only debut with the M5 Pro and M5 Max chip, though – so if you’re someone buying the base model with the M5 chip, you’re still in the clear to buy a new Mac Book today. Same applies if you don’t care about the redesign at all, since M5 Pro and M5 [PERSON_NAME] are still incredible new chips.14-inch Mac Book Pro deals: Mac Book Pro with M5: 1TB of storage, 16GB of memory – $1849 on Amazon ($150 off!)Mac Book Pro with M5: 1TB of storage, 24GB of memory – $2049 on Amazon ($150 off!)Mac Book Pro with M5 Pro: 1TB of storage, 24GB of memory – $2299 on Amazon ($200 off!)Refurbished Mac Book Pro with M4: 1TB of storage, 16GB of memory – $1609 at Apple Store Refurbished Mac Book Pro with M5: 1TB of storage, 16GB of memory – $1699 at [ADDRESS] Mac Book Pro deals: Mac Book Pro with M5 Pro: 1TB of storage, 24GB of memory – $2759 on [PERSON_NAME]...
