That's because Amazon already has several MacBook models on sale during its early Amazon Prime Day 2022 sale.

Top products in this article:

Apple MacBook Air (Apple M1, 8 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD), $1,179 (regularly from $1,249)

Apple is well-known for its laptops that combine computing power with a sleek, iconic physical design. Thanks to its solid, aluminum build, a MacBook is tough on the outside. And its macOS operating system provides an environment for smooth, time-efficient workflows.

If all this has you curious about Apple MacBooks, then we're here with good news: Apple makes a laptop for everyone. Whether you're a student who needs to do homework (and stream movies), a creative who needs to see work in vivid display, a business pro who needs tons of memory storage, or an everyday user who just needs a device to comb our website to look for , we've found the perfect Apple MacBook laptop for you.

Apple MacBook Air

Are you a graphic designer? Do you work in a visual medium? Then the MacBook Air model with 512GB of storage, not to mention an 8-core CPU, may be for you. This version of the laptop is better suited than the 256GB model for graphics-intensive tasks, such as photo editing and graphic design. (That said, if you're willing to spend more than $1,000 on a MacBook Air, then know you'll likely be better off upgrading to the often-identically priced, 13-inch MacBook Pro.)

Apple MacBook Air (Apple M1, 8 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD), $1,179 (reduced from $1,249)

$1,179 at Amazon

13" MacBook Pro

A step up from the MacBook Air, the slightly weightier (3.0 pound) 13-inch MacBook Pro boasts a powerful active cooling system, which helps keep the 8-core CPU running fast. It delivers up to 20 hours of battery life on a single charge, and features a Retina display that's brighter than the MacBook Air. The MacBook Pro also features a customizable Apple Touch Bar.

Like the MacBook Air, the MacBook Pro offers 256GB and 512GB models. We found deals on Amazon for both.

13" Apple MacBook Pro (Apple M1 Chip, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD), $1,198 (regularly $1,299)

$1,198 at Amazon

13" Apple MacBook Pro (Apple M1 chip, 8 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD), $1,449 (regularly $1,499)

$1,449 at Amazon

16" MacBook Pro

Is the 14-inch MacBook Pro not powerful, or big enough for you? Then try its sibling, the 16-inch MacBook Pro. On Amazon, you can get a deal on the 16-inch MacBook Pro with a 10-core CPU, as well as 16GB of unified memory, and 512GB of storage. All of that is more than enough for you to be able to edit 8K videos on the machine. You also get four Thunderbolt ports, an HDMI port and a SDXC card slot.

With its size and more powerful guts, the 16-inch MacBook Pro is aimed at professionals who need a seriously powerful laptop for graphics-intensive applications, such as video-rendering and design. Just keep in mind, this is a machine that comes with a professional-level price tag.

16-inch Apple MacBook Pro (Apple M1 Pro, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD), $2,299 (regularly $2,499)

$2,299 at Amazon
