I can't believe how cheap the M4 Pro MacBook Pro just got — $250 off in early Prime Day deal

Prime Day isn't set to start until July 8, but clearly Apple didn't get the memo, as this is a deal worthy of even Black Friday, let alone Amazon's big event! Even better? It's one of the best laptops you can buy, and my personal favorite.
Right now, the M4 Pro MacBook Pro is $250 off at Amazon. That drops it to the lowest ever price of just $1,749, which is insane value for money! Let me tell you why.
This is the lowest price on one of the best pro laptops you can buy right now — packing a seriously performant M4 Pro chip for any heavy workload, 24GB of RAM, 512GB SSD, a gorgeous 14.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR display and an alluring Space Black to that utilitarian shell. Oh, and don't forget the mindblowing battery life, too!
Normally, in this situation, I'd go ahead and point most of you towards the M4 MacBook Pro — that standard chipset is more than enough for most of you reading this. But with this massive discount on M4 Pro, it would actually be better to upgrade.
Why? Well, if you read our M4 Pro MacBook Pro review, you'll see the answer comes down to three key things: performance, battery life and display.
Because sure, the more things change, the more they stay the same with Apple. You're getting that same uber-premium aluminum unibody shell that is styled into a flatter utilitarian form, along with the same port configuration — though the Thunderbolts are now 5th generation for immensely faster data transfer speeds.
But that 14-inch Liquid Retina XDR display is now brighter and packs a whole lot more color reproduction for better accuracy in your creative workload.

And for those workloads, you need an equally crazy-fast chip to match, which is where that screamer of an M4 Pro comes in — delivering insane speeds on Final Cut Pro exports and even some great AAA gaming performance with ray tracing thrown in, too.
Plus, with that advanced Neural Engine, on-board AI tasks get a speed boost, like neural filters on Photoshop are almost as fast on here as they are on my RTX 5070 Ti gaming PC!

Then we come to the battery life. And if the 20 hours and 46 minutes the 16-inch model got in our review is anything to go by, you're in for a treat!
More realistically, you're getting closer to the standard 14-inch, which got just over 18.5 hours on one charge in our lab testing. That is still crazy good!
So what are you waiting for? Snap this up now before it's gone!

Shop the Shark FlexBreeze HydroGo Fan on sale before the heat wave

New York Post may be compensated and/or receive an affiliate commission if you click or buy through our links. Featured pricing is subject to change. If you've stepped outside lately — or just happen to glance at the weather app — you know the East Coast is about to become a convection oven. Record-breaking temps are creeping toward the triple digits, humidity levels are rising and unless you plan to spend the next month hiding in your fridge, it's time to get strategic. Enter the Shark FlexBreeze HydroGo Fan. It's a sleek, portable misting fan that feels less like a gadget and more like a small miracle. And in a rare bit of perfect timing, it's on sale before Amazon Prime Day. (which is taking place on July 8 to 11). That's right: summer salvation is just one click away. Advertisement It's no surprise that most portable fans are either underpowered, oversized or worse, just plain ugly. But, the FlexBreeze HydroGo is a different breed. Designed by Shark (yes, the same brand that made your vacuum obsession socially acceptable), this cooling fan delivers high-velocity airflow, ultra-fine mist and a cordless runtime of up to 12 hours — all wrapped in a modern, minimal form that actually looks good on your patio. Or desk. Or wherever the heat is stalking you. Amazon So what's the big deal? For starters, the evaporative misting feature isn't a gimmick. It works with its built-in 150 ml water tank sprays out an ultra-fine mist that drops the surrounding air temp without drenching your skin or furniture. Think of it as personal climate control, minus the energy-guzzling AC unit. And, speaking of energy savings, this fan can make your home feel cooler without cranking your thermostat to Arctic levels. After perusing Amazon reviews, shoppers have raved about comfortably raising their AC from 67°F to 74°F while using the HydroGo, which is no small feat during a humid summer meltdown. It also comes with five fan speeds, from gentle breeze to full-on blast mode, and two mist settings. This allows you to customize your cool-down experience like you're setting a cocktail menu. Prefer a continuous mist while you work from home? You can accomplish this, all thanks to this Shark fan. If you want interval sprays for a relaxed outdoor dinner, this fan is made for your backyard's al fresco moment. The fan head tilts, the settings lock (so no accidental changes mid-mist), and there's even a battery-level indicator to keep things idiot-proof. But here's where the HydroGo really earns its stripes: it's built for real life. This model is rain-resistant (IPX5 rated), UV-hardened and surprisingly quiet at just 36 decibels. That's library-level hush. What's more, it's rugged enough for camping, subtle enough for a bedroom and stylish enough to sit on your patio without ruining the vibe. Because it's fully cordless and weighs just a few pounds, you can bring it anywhere the heat dares to follow: the beach, a backyard BBQ, a stifling home office, even a stuffy subway platform if you're bold. Now let's talk numbers. Right now, before the chaos of Prime Day hits, the Shark FlexBreeze HydroGo is on sale for $120, down from its regular $150. That's a rare pre-Prime Day price drop, and if history (and summer shopping trends) are any indication, it won't stay in stock for long. Once the masses start panic-buying cooling gadgets, you'll be lucky to find a fan that isn't neon plastic and powered by three AA batteries. So skip the Prime Day rush, grab it while it's still discounted, and take control of your personal climate before Mother Nature makes you her sweaty hostage. Because in the battle against this East Coast heatwave, the Shark FlexBreeze HydroGo might just be your most stylish secret weapon.
