Well, as you can tell from the headline, we were wrong. Right now at B&H, you can get $100 off the 16-inch MacBook Pro with M1 Pro (opens in new tab) — taking the price down to $2,399 in what is an incredible deal.

Of course, you already know what makes the latest 16-inch MacBook Pro so special, and while we haven’t gone hands-on with this big sibling of the two, you can read our 14-inch MacBook Pro review, to see why we absolutely love this full refresh of Apple’s prosumer laptops. It all starts with the sleek, elegant design that opens up to reveal a stunning 16.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR screen with a super sharp 3456 x 2234-pixel resolution. Completing the audio/visual experience is one of the best laptop speaker setups we’ve ever heard — providing impressive bass. Alongside this, the touch bar is gone and replaced with a full-height set of function keys, all the ports you need are back (including MagSafe) and that M1 Pro SoC delivers both impressive power and amazing battery life to boot. Our only main criticism besides the lack of a USB-A port is the expensive price point. While $2,400 is still a pretty steep price, we’ll take any discount we can get on this amazing machine and chances are this will be the only price cut we see in 2021.
