Whether you're getting a jump start on back-to-school shopping, or simply want to treat yourself to a new machine, B&H is offering AppeInsider readers a highly aggressive deal on Apple's Late 2016 15-inch MacBook Pro this holiday. Loaded with features, including an upgraded 2.7GHz quad-core processor, 1TB of SSD storage and premium Radeon 455 graphics, this model in Space Gray packs a punch for its $2,199.00 price tag. That's $1,000 off the retail price without even factoring in additional perks, such as free expedited shipping to the contiguous U.S., and no sales tax collected on orders shipped outside New York and New Jersey* (the latter which can save many customers an additional $175+).

Brand-new and factory sealed, these machines are sold by B&H Photo, an Apple authorized reseller. Each system comes with Apple's standard 1-year limited warranty with 90 days of free telephone support, just like you'd get at the Apple Store. You can also tack on an AppleCare extended protection plan for $379 in your cart for added peace of mind.

Those looking for top-of-the-line graphics in the Late 2016 15-inch MacBook Pro can also save on a loaded configuration with the same upgraded processor and 1TB of storage as the system above -- but with even better graphics. This model, in Apple's popular Space Gray color, is $950 off exclusively for AI readers.

Like the model highlighted in the section above, this system comes with a variety of perks, from free expedited shipping within the contiguous U.S. to no tax collected on orders shipped outside New York and New Jersey. For many shoppers, this can equate to $190 in savings. To compare this deal to Apple's latest 2017 15-inch MacBook Pro with 1TB of storage, it would set you back at least another $400, even with our exclusive discounts, according to our 2017 15-inch MacBook Pro Price Guide.

With the ability to tack on AppleCare to each MacBook Pro, buying a closeout model with 1TB of space at such a reduced price is a great option for students and business professionals. Need even more storage? Check out the next deal for the greatest savings.
