The $300 cash discount, which can be found alongside others in our M4 Pro MacBook Pro 14-inch Price Guide, is valid through Dec. 28 only. B&H closes for 24 hours at sundown Eastern Time on Fridays in observance of Shabbat, so it's best to order now to lock in the deal.

The M4 Pro is 84 percent faster than the M4 in the PugetBench Premiere Pro video benchmarks, and the M4 Max is an extra 39 percent faster on top of that. (Of course, the large amount of RAM in our test units is also pulling extra weight with video and photo work.)

While Apple hasn’t officially confirmed the launch of the M4-powered MacBook Air, everything points toward a release in early 2025. With the impressive M4 chip, along with improvements to the camera and connectivity, the new MacBook Air is shaping up to be a strong contender in the ultra-portable laptop market.
