MacBook Pro May 2022 deals
Black Friday is behind us, but that doesn’t mean the deals have finished – we see deals for the MacBook Pro all year round.
The only issue is if you want to buy an 14in or 16in MacBook Pro stock is very low and we are finding that when available they sell out fast. We are still seeing some deals on those models though, so it’s worth checking regularly.

What you need to know
In October 2021 Apple updated the most powerful MacBook Pro models. There are now three new 16in MacBook Pro models and two 14in MacBook Pro models (which replace the 13in models that were using Intel’s 2.0GHz processors). These new MacBook Pro models offer M1 Pro and M1 Max chips. For more information read our review of the 2021 16in MacBook Pro and review of the 14in MacBook Pro.
Apple also sells two 13in MacBook Pro models with M1 chips (introduced in November 2020). Read our 13in M1 MacBook Pro review. The entry-level MacBook Pro are still a good buy, they just aren’t quite as ‘Pro’ as their counterparts. For more help choosing the best Apple laptop read our buying guide where we cover all the models. We also have a Mac buying guide that covers the whole range. We also explain the differences between the MacBook Air and Pro.

Best 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.
We often see the cheaper M1 MacBook Pro on sale on the refurbished store, which means you could get the 13.3-inch MacBook Pro Apple M1 Chip with 8‑Core CPU and 8‑Core GPU with 256GB SSD for just £1,099/$1,099. A saving of £200/$200.

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.
