As an avid Apple fan, Best Buy has always been one of my go-to stores for discounts on Apple gear. These past few weeks Best Buy has really been impressing me, especially with its epic MacBook deals. For example, right now it's the first — and only — retailer to discount Apple's new M3-based MacBook Pros.
For a limited time, Best Buy is taking $100 of the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro (M3/M3 Pro). The deal is valid for My Best Buy Plus ($49/year) and My Best Buy Total ($179) members only. (You can sign up at Best Buy via this link). It's one of the best Apple Black Friday deals you can get right now.
If you're not familiar with My Best Buy, it's basically the retailer's answer to Amazon Prime, but with a much lower price point. Although there's a free tier which snags you free shipping, this deal is for the paying tiers only. Nevertheless, it's an epic deal. As deals editor at Tom's Guide, I'm looking vetting deals 24/7 and I can assure you that My Best Buy members are indeed getting access to great deals.

As for the MacBook Pro M3, it was announced by Apple this week and will release on November 7. The three laptops are based on Apple's new M3 chip, which is the first personal computer processor utilizing TSMC's 3nm process. We haven't put the M3 to the test yet, but they promise to be the most powerful slices of Apple silicon yet.
In addition to improved computing and graphical performance, the M3 chip also includes an updated GPU that's better suited for video editing and gaming. The chips also consume less battery despite their extra power.
The entry-level M3 can be found in the 14-inch MacBook Pro ($1,599). Apple is also offering a 14-inch MacBook Pro with M3 Pro for $1,999. If you want a larger display, there's a 16-inch MacBook Pro with M3 Pro for $2,499. Finally, video professionals can opt for the 16-inch MacBook Pro with M3 Max for $3,999.
