Through March 31 at 7 p.m. (ET), B&H Photo Video is slashing the price of the 13.3-inch 2016 MacBook Pro down to $1,299. That’s $200 off and the best price you’ll find on this excellent ultraportable. This model doesn’t include Apple’s new Touch Bar, but there’s still a lot to like about the current 13.3-inch MacBook Pro. For starters, it’s 67 percent brighter, smaller, and faster than its predecessor. It also has a new touchpad that’s 46 percent larger than the previous laptop’s. The downside is that the new model is based on Intel’s older Skylake CPU, whereas many of its Windows-based competitors are running Kaby Lake CPUs. Apple also ditched the MacBook Pro’s plethora of useful ports and opted for just two Thuderbolt 3 ports on the new machine. Still, in spite of those small drawbacks the 13.3-inch 2016 MacBook Pro is an amazing notebook that we strongly recommend — especially at $200 off. If you have the budget to spare, B&H Photo Video also offers the 13.3-inch 2016 MacBook Pro with Touch Bar and an upgraded 512GB SSD for $1,799. That’s also $200 under the Apple Store’s price.
