Best Buy has slashed $900 off this MacBook laden with memory — 14-inch M4 Pro with 48GB of memory and 2TB of storage now only $2,999

Best Buy is offering a significant discount on the 14-inch MacBook Pro equipped with the M4 Pro chip and a considerable 48GB of RAM, now priced at $2,999. This top-tier laptop, featuring the older M4 Pro chip, boasts extensive memory, storage, and performance capabilities. Ideal for users requiring ample RAM for productivity purposes, this deal may appeal to many.

The 14-inch MacBook Pro is powered by the Apple M4 Pro chip, featuring 14 cores for CPU tasks and an impressive 20 cores for GPU operations. It is also equipped with an awe-inspiring 48GB of unified memory and a massive 2TB SSD. The screen of this MacBook Pro is a Liquid Retina XDR nano-texture display, capable of reaching up to 1600 nits of peak brightness, making it one of the brightest and most visually appealing screens reviewed during testing. The display earned this laptop an Editor's Choice award in the review.

During the testing phase in November 2024, this MacBook Pro was the first to be assessed with Apple's M4 chip. For context, the SKU of the tested laptop was less powerful than the current model, featuring only 16GB of RAM and 1TB of SSD storage compared to the current 48GB and 2TB specifications. The performance of Apple's M4 chip was remarkable, easily competing with other devices in both single and multicore workloads. In Geekbench tests, the new Mac achieved a single-core score of 3,807 and a multi-core score of 15,114.

While this model of the MacBook Pro 14 with M4 Pro is on the pricier side, even after the discount, its value is justified by the substantial memory and storage capacity, which Apple charges a premium for. The laptop's unified memory, soldered to the motherboard, lacks upgrade options in the future. Therefore, users seeking a laptop with a larger memory capacity must make their decision at the point of purchase.
