Flash deal: Apple's M1 MacBook Pro (16GB RAM, 1TB SSD) with AppleCare plunges to $1,399

The $1,399 flash Deal Zone is valid on Aug. 8 only and features a bargain that's great for students and business users alike.

Pick up the closeout M1 MacBook Pro 13-inch for $1,399 when bundled with a 3-year AppleCare protection plan. Or grab the laptop itself without AppleCare for $1,249.

This particular system in Space Gray is packed with upgrades, including 16GB of memory — double the amount found in the standard model — as well as an ample amount of storage thanks to the 1TB SSD. It also sports Apple's M1 chip with an 8-core CPU and 8-core GPU.

The Deal Zone also includes free 2-day shipping for customers in the contiguous U.S. And with units in stock and ready to ship, you can easily have the laptop in time for back to school. As a reminder, this flash deal is valid today only and is set to expire at 11:59 p.m. ET, or while supplies last.
