Apple hit a home run when picking the base specifications for its newest MacBook Pro lineup because the 14-inch model’s starting configuration offers 16GB of unified RAM, 512GB of storage, and the higher core count variant of the M4, for just $1,599. While it is still expensive to own a portable Mac, the premiums the company previously charged to get to 16GB RAM and double the storage were through the roof. While the company was carefully listening to customer feedback and making changes accordingly, Amazon was running deals of its own.
Currently, the 14-inch M4 MacBook Pro in Space Black is listed on the online retailer for $1,599, resulting in a $200 price cut while giving you 16GB of unified RAM and 1TB of storage. This means that if you find the 512GB storage model limiting for your daily use, you will get double the internal memory at the M4 MacBook Pro’s launch price. Before you ask, no, we are not going to pinch you because you are not dreaming.
This is as real as it gets. Unfortunately, the downside of living in the present time is that you have to remain patient for the M4 MacBook Pro to be delivered to your home address, and on this occasion, it will be an exceptionally long time. Amazon estimates that this particular configuration will take between one to two months to reach your doorstep, and if you cannot muster up sufficient patience, we have an alternate, but it will require that you half your existing storage requirements.
That is correct, we are talking about getting the base 14-inch M4 MacBook Pro in Space Black, with the 16GB unified RAM and 512GB storage model going for $1,449 on Amazon. As for the delivery time, this portable Mac is said to be delivered between February 6 and February 26. However, bear in mind that there is no way to upgrade your storage later unless you are skilled in micro-soldering, and chances are that you are not, so if you are currently using an existing machine, it will not hurt to keep it running for a few more weeks until the newer one arrives at your address.
