Whichever MacBook you buy, you’ll get a three-month Apple TV+ membership so you can stream the likes of Ted Lasso and Severance, as well as six months of Apple Music. That’s not all, though, as Best Buy is throwing in some additional Apple premium services into the deal, too.

In our glowing MacBook Pro 16-inch review, we said “there’s no better portable workstation – and it may just replace your desktop, too.” Whichever M1 Pro MacBook Pro you go for, you’re getting the best laptop display we’ve ever seen, along with incredible performance. The 14-inch version is also available at $200 off, and offers the same performance in a smaller form factor.
