Apple has come a significant distance in reducing the MacBook Air’s price, and Amazon is pushing the value even harder on Prime Day.

Among MacBook Pros, the best deal I've spotted so far is a $250 discount on a 14-inch M4 model with 24GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. It randomly fell to $1,715.05 three times in May, according to the price-tracking site CamelCamelCamel, but otherwise its Prime Day price of $1,749 is its best deal since launch.

Prime Day. Today's selection of specials is all about laptops. We've gone ahead and picked out a few from the deal tree, with a focus on powerful machines that ought to last you a few good years without begging an upgrade.
