Best MacBook Pro Deals: Save Hundreds of Dollars on a New MacBook Pro

Some might be more familiar with Apple's phones and tablets but the company's Mac laptops are among the best around, especially if you're already ensconced in the Apple ecosystem. The latest MacBook Pro models have all of the latest and most advanced hardware and we're big fans of their long-lasting batteries and superior performance. But, as is often the case with Apple's high-end products, buying the latest M4 MacBook Pro is an expensive business.
The performance on these machines just got a major upgrade. In October 2024, Apple announced the latest MacBook Pros will feature the M4, M4 Pro and M4 Max processors. The M4 chips increase the CPU core count from the M3 and promise better AI performance with a new neural engine. This chip was first seen in the iPad Pro, followed by the iMac. The M4 MacBook Pro is available in stores and online.

Adaptive Power in iOS 26 Could Save the iPhone 17 Air From This Major Pitfall

There's one feature Apple unveiled during WWDC on Monday that didn't get the attention I think it deserves: Adaptive Power. This AI-powered feature can help your iPhone battery last longer by lowering your display's brightness and making "small performance adjustments" like "allowing some activities to take a little longer," according to Apple. It'll also turn on Low Power Mode automatically when your battery drops to 20% to limit background activities and further extend battery life. Adaptive Power can come in clutch no matter what phone you have (as long as it can run iOS 26), but where it really has the potential to be a game-changer is with the rumored iPhone 17 Air. Apple's thinner iPhone is expected to debut in the fall, though the company has yet to confirm reports about its imminent arrival. A skinny iPhone would join the ranks of other slim phones like Samsung's Galaxy S25 Edge and the Oppo Find N5, which both came out earlier this year. And on Monday, hot on the heels of WWDC, Samsung also shared a teaser about its upcoming Galaxy Z foldable series, calling it "the thinnest, lightest and most advanced foldable yet." Thin phones can come across as gimmicky (who asked for them, really?), but they're undoubtedly having a moment as companies look for new ways to lure your dollars. After using devices like the Galaxy S25 Edge and Oppo Find N5, I can attest that holding a slim, lightweight phone is quite refreshing, and I'm eager to see what Apple has in store. But there's also a major downside to building a phone with such a slim profile, as I experienced recently with the S25 Edge: Battery life takes a hit. A thinner phone also means a smaller battery, which means shorter battery life. The S25 Edge, for instance, definitely needs a recharge at the end of the day -- no excess battery there. If Apple can find a way to make the iPhone 17 Air last beyond that bare minimum amount, that could really help its slim offering stand out. Adaptive Power may be the superpower Apple needs to appeal to anyone who won't sacrifice battery life for a thinner phone. But whether this feature truly is a breakthrough is up in the air -- along with the reality of the iPhone 17 Air itself.

I Was Overwhelmed by Mattress Shopping. This $374 Mattress Topper Bought Me a Few More Comfortable Years

CNET's key takeaways The ErgoAlign Mattress Topper from Helix normally costs $499 but it's on sale right now for $374 for the queen and $328 for the full size. It's a comfortable, band-aid solution until my next big mattress purchase. But it's pricier than other mattress toppers. The Nest Bedding Cooling Topper is $100 less, for example. I'm reaching the eight-year mark with my current mattress -- it's time to shop for a new one. But when I look around at the available mattress options, I get overwhelmed by the number of choices. I felt rushed into my last mattress purchase because I was moving and needed to make a quick decision on a budget. This time, I want to do it right and make the best mattress choice for my body and for my money. As a sleep-deprived working mom of two young children, I appreciate the relief a comfortable bed can bring to my aches and pains. Yes, I am one of the 46% of adult Americans (CNET survey) willing to invest in better mattresses. And I'm ready to pay a pretty penny for my next mattress upgrade. But I need more time. I tested this ErgoAlign Mattress Topper by Helix for 60 days. It's not a long-term solution to my problems, but it gives me the comfort and time that I need until I make a bigger and more expensive decision. It's on the pricier side, though: Up to $500 at regular price. CNET's best mattress topper, the Nest Bedding Cooling Topper for example, costs $100 to $150 less. These large stretchy straps help secure this topper in place -- no sliding. Katie Collins My experience with the Helix ErgoAlign mattress topper. My first impression was one of surprise. The last time I slept on a mattress topper, it was one of those cheaper $50 foam toppers. I didn't expect the topper to be as comfortable as it was. It arrived in a vacuum wrapping. Once opened, it expanded immediately -- no waiting. I was struck by how the material did not have a chemical smell to it that we sometimes get from mattress toppers or beds in a box. I ordered the king size, so it was a bit heavy to lift onto the bed with effort but doable for one person. I laid it right on top of my current mattress and used the attached straps to secure it in place so it didn't slide around. I slept on this for 60 days, and I find that I relax and fall asleep faster, I wake up less frequently for no reason (it's a mom thing), and my hips and shoulders aren't achy at wake up as they were before. The specs GlacioTex cooling cover Three Support zones for the spine, midsection and shoulders for the spine, midsection and shoulders Sturdy corner straps to keep topper in place Free shipping in the US Thickness: 3 inches 3 inches Retail price: $498.66 $498.66 Sale Price: $374 $374 Available sizes: Twin, twin XL, full, queen, king, California king Twin, twin XL, full, queen, king, California king 100-night sleep trial One-year limited warranty Materials: Top cover, 50/50 blend of polyester and polyethylene. Interior, Top cover, 50/50 blend of polyester and polyethylene. Interior, Copper gel memory foam and high-density foam. Made in the US These large stretchy straps help secure this topper in place even for deep and tall mattress types. The material is waterproof. Katie Collins CNET's buying advice Overall, my experience with this mattress topper is ultrapositive. It's one of the more expensive mattress toppers available, but at $380 to $400, it buys me another year or two of time before I make my next big mattress decision. For $400, you could skip the topper and buy a brand new mattress. The Ashley Home Signature Design and the Rolanstar are both less than $350 right now. But for a long-term, king-size mattress with the level of support I'm looking for, I'm probably going to spend between $1,000 and $2,000 from a premium brand. For now, I find this mattress topper so comfortable, I may just take my sweet time deciding. If you're like me and seeking a band-aid solution to your current mattress situation and you want hip and shoulder support, you will be happy with the Helix ErgoAlign. If price is your sticking point, CNET's sleep experts tested dozens of other mattress toppers that we love and are much cheaper. The most comparable mattress topper we tested is the Layla Memory Foam Topper, our best foam mattress topper for side sleepers. The Layla uses a similar copper gel-infused foam, adding buoyancy and contouring support as the Helix ErgoAlign but for $250 -- $100 to $150 less. A good budget pick for a new mattress topper is the Linenspa Memory Foam Topper for $60. And if you are ready for your next mattress decision, see CNET's picks for all types of mattresses by sleep type.

When Will Apple Launch The New MacBook Air And MacBook Pro?

A MacBook Pro is displayed inside the Apple Carnegie Library store on May 30, 2025 (Photo by Kevin ...) While the main iPhone line has its launch date fixed to early September, the Mac portfolio, especially the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air laptops, has been adrift in the calendar for many years. Thankfully, Apple is settling into a steady rhythm of new releases across its hardware portfolio, bringing some stability to the Mac announcements. For many, that means regular updates to the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air laptops. Finding An Annual MacBook Pro Schedule Apple has indicated that it now prefers annual updates on software and hardware. The recent move to unify the various operating systems to a single number pointing to the year where it will be dominant only works with annual refreshes on the cardinal number and the associated software. The key hardware upgrade is the Apple Silicon chipset. Over the last five years, Apple has rolled out five major versions of the M-Series chipsets. Through these, Tim Cook and his team have worked to bring the chaotic laptop releases under some control. It now looks like the patterns set in 2024 will continue in 2025 and 2026, which lets us start putting some dates into the calendar. And it's the Apple Silicon M-Series that highlights Apple's consistent upgrade path. MacBook Pro's iPad Pro Barrier The current MacBook Pro was launched in late October 2024, five months after the Apple Silicon M4 chipset debuted with the iPad Pro M4. That happened one month before Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference. That iPad captured the love and 'new car smell' of the Apple Silicon M4 away from the Mac family. That's not the case this year; not only has a new iPad Pro been announced, but WWDC has also been and gone with no announcement of the Apple Silicon M5. With roughly eighteen months between each of the last three models, this doesn't come as a huge surprise, given we're looking at cadences. That should clear the way for the M5 to arrive inside new Mac products.. When Will The New MacBook Pro M5 Arrive Apple first launched the MacBook Pro with the M1 Max and M1 Pro chips on Oct. 18, 2021. The M2 Pro and M2 Max models arrived later in the cycle, on Jan. 17, 2023. Normal service resumed on Oct. 30 2023 with the M3 Pro and M3 Max models, with Oct 30. 2024 seeing the M4 Pro and M4 Max models (alongside the vanilla M4 model). There are enough signs from the supply chain that Apple's pre-release activities are following the same schedule as last year, for example, the Apple Silicon M5 chipsets are now in production. The schedule has been confirmed throughout the year. Oct. 30th is a Thursday this year. Apple tends to go earlier in the week for a launch, so it's likely Tuesday, Oct. 28th or Wednesday, Oct. 29th. Either way, Halloween week is the safest bet so far. And perhaps for more than the MacBook Pro. The MacBook Pro M5 Competition As for the eighteen-month window on the iPad Pro, that points to a similar late October launch. Apple will be considering a launch of the iPad Pro M5 alongside the MacBook Pro M5. Both the laptop and the tablet are geared towards different markets with different scenarios, and launching them together to complement each other would allow for the similarities of macOS and iPadOS to be demonstrated, as well as illustrating the different approaches Apple's mobile computing teams have taken. It's worth noting that the current M4-powered MacBook Air was launched in early March 2025, some ten months after the reveal of the M4 chipset in the iPad Pro, putting the consumer-focused laptop close to a year behind the current technology, while still giving the appearance of sitting on the cutting edge. Will The MacBook Pro M5 Be Enough All of this stands in the shadow of one key detail around the MacBook Pro M5… that it will be little more than an internal upgrade to allow for the Apple Silicon bump. The external design changes—including the long-awaited arrival of an OLED display—may be waiting for the M6-powered model in 2026.
