The world’s lightest 17-inch laptop makes the MacBook Pro feel clunky
  • No Comments

Laptops with large screens are usually considered unwieldy and cumbersome, unless you're talking about Apple's 16-inch MacBook Pro.

However, the LG Gram 17 is an exception, giving even Apple's slimline device a run for its money. Weighing only 2.95 pounds, it's hailed the lightest 17-inch laptop ever made.

In designing a super thin and light laptop with a 17-inch screen, LG has succeeded where all other have failed. The device has been so well received that retailing giant Costco even commissioned an exclusive version for its customers.

The older and cheaper version ($ 1,200/£929 at Amazon) comes with an 8th generation Intel Core i7 GPU, 16GB memory, and a 256GB SSD. It also has a battery LG says will power your device for nearly 20 hours – yes, 20 hours.

It's not waterproof or shockproof, but its magnesium alloy chassis makes it more resistant than most laptops of this size. It also boasts a dedicated numeric keypad and adheres to the rigorous MIL-STD-810G standards.

The 17-inch display (which has a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels) is the cherry on the rather large cake.

It's worth noting UK customers will also be able to purchase the Gram 17 straight from Amazon, but should be wary of additional taxes levied.

MacBook Pro 16-inch laptop gets sick $200 discount at Best Buy
  • No Comments

When Apple launched the 16-inch MacBook Pro late last year, it finally brought a wealth of improvements that we've been requesting for years – though it came with a hefty price tag. 

But, if that gargantuan price made you think twice about adopting a MacBook Pro with a competent keyboard, we've got good news: it's slightly cheaper right now at Best Buy. 

If you're a My Best Buy member, you can save up to $ 200 on a MacBook Pro 16-inch with an Intel Core i9 processor, 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD. That brings the price down from $ 2,799 to $ 2,599 which is, well, still expensive. 

However, that's kind of just the way of things when it comes to the best Macs. This one, however, is genuinely the best MacBook that's been made in years, at least since the MacBook Pro was redesigned back in 2015. 

That 8-core, 16-thread Intel Core i9 processor paired with 16GB of RAM will make this laptop absolutely demolish any computing workload you could think to throw at it. This is definitely an expensive laptop, but you genuinely won't find a more capable portable machine running macOS Catalina – unless, of course, you count the wheels on the Mac Pro.

Best Buy MacBook deals: Save up to $1,100 in latest flash sale
  • No Comments

Finding a cheap MacBook deal is no easy task. Apple has historically pitched its line of luxury laptops way above the competition with a premium price tag only a few will ever max out. That said, Best Buy's latest flash sales are offering over $ 1,000 in savings with 2019 MacBook deals, helping turn that Apple-stamped powerhouse into a reality. 

We're seeing a selection of MacBook Air and Pro models in these deals, with each one sitting at a slightly different position in terms of power and price. You'll find skinny, streamlined MacBook Air deals that offer the perfect portable laptop for study and light work priced as low as $ 949.99 right now. But we're really excited about this 15-inch MacBook Pro bursting with top of the range specs and a $ 1,100 discount down to just $ 2,699.99. 

That's fantastic news if you've been saving for a brand new luxury computer, and even better if you weren't quite meeting the price tag yet. We're listing our top picks from Best Buy's flash sale, but you'll find more MacBook deals below our highlights as well as a handy guide if you're not sure which model to splash the cash on.

Which MacBook deal is right for you?

A cheap MacBook deal is still a MacBook, and Apple's laptops rarely lose their value. That's great news for purchasers – your computer will hold its price tag for a long time after you buy it after all. But that does mean you'll need to be sure you're picking up the MacBook deal to suit you. 

So which MacBook deal is right for you? As with any laptop, finding the perfect model comes down to what you envision yourself using the computer for. There's no point in spending over $ 2,000 on a top of the range MacBook Pro with a 1TB SSD and 32GB of RAM if you're just going to be surfing the net. On the other hand, it's equally frustrating to spend $ 949 on the cheapest MacBook Air deal on offer today only to find that you would have been able to store all the programs you need by spending just $ 150 more.

We'd recommend picking up a MacBook Air model if you're using your new laptop for web browsing, light work, and study. If you're going to be running heavier programs like the Adobe suite or Logic Pro you'll want to take a look at higher processing and RAM options in the MacBook Pro. 

Still on the hunt? We've rounded up all the latest MacBook Air sales and MacBook Pro prices from a range of your favorite retailers. We're also making things even cheaper with a selection of refurbished MacBook deals to keep costs down further.
