I review MacBooks for a living — here's the 9 best deals to get before Prime Day
I review the best laptops for a living, and the best MacBooks rank among them. While these notebooks have a reputation for being pricey, you can often find them discounted at major retailers like Amazon, B&H Photo, and Best Buy. Because of that, it's almost always a good time to buy one of Apple's laptops. Some of the best MacBook deals I've found include a 13-inch MacBook Air M4 for $849 at Amazon, which is a nice $150 discount. If you want something slightly larger and with more ports, the 14-inch MacBook Pro M4 is currently $1,399. The 16-inch MacBook Pro M4 Pro is also on sale for $200 off. Whether you're looking for a lightweight MacBook Air or a powerful MacBook Pro, I've got you covered. Below are some of the best MacBook deals I've found. And if you don't see the listed sale price, try checking different color models for hidden deals. Also, be sure to follow our guides for the best early Prime Day deals, best Apple promo codes and best laptops for college students. The M4-based MacBook Pro M4 is pretty close to being the perfect laptop. You get fantastic performance from the M4 chip, useful Apple Intelligence features, a better webcam and obscenely long battery life (18:31). In our MacBook Pro 14-inch M4 review, we said it's the best laptop for power users, now with more AI features. The base model features a 14.2-inch 3024 x 1964 Retina display, Apple M4 CPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB check: $1,599 @ Best Buy | $1,399 @ B&H If you're looking for raw horsepower, the 14-inch MacBook Pro with M4 Pro chip is for you. It offers blistering performance and will likely speed through most of your daily tasks without so much as a hiccup. The base model features a 14.2-inch 3024 x 1964 Retina display, Apple M4 Pro CPU, 24GB of RAM, and a 512GB check: $1,779 @ Best Buy | $1,749 @ B&H The new 16-inch MacBook Pro can be configured with the M4 Pro or M4 Max chipset to deliver record-breaking speeds. In our MacBook Pro 16-inch review we said it's a powerful laptop with a vivid display, sensible design, fast performance, comfortable keyboard, and epic 20:46 battery life. The base model features a 16.2-inch 3456 x 2234 Retina display, Apple M4 Pro CPU, 24GB of RAM, and a 512GB check: $2,299 @ B&H | $2,249 @ Best Buy It'll cost you a small fortune, but this is the ultimate MacBook Pro you can buy right now. The base model features a 16.2-inch 3456 x 2234 Retina display, Apple M4 Max CPU, 36GB of RAM, and a 1TB check: $3,149 @ B&H | $3,149 @ Best Buy The MacBook Air M1 offers fantastic performance and value. The M1 CPU never stuttered in our tests and also helped it reach over 14 hours of battery life. It features a 13.3-inch Retina display, Apple M1 CPU, 8GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD. In our MacBook Air M1 review, we said it offers amazing endurance and shockingly good check: sold out @ Best Buy | sold out @ Amazon It's no longer Apple's flagship, but the MacBook Air M2 is one of our most recommended laptops because it's remarkably light and thin yet sports a 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display, a speedy Apple M2 CPU w/ 8-core GPU, 16GB of RAM, 256GB SSD, and a great 1080p FaceTime camera. In our MacBook Air M2 review, we lauded this Editor's Choice laptop for its versatility and battery life, so don't miss your chance to get one at a great discount. Note: This model includes an upgraded 512GB check: sold out @ B&H | sold out @ Amazon This MacBook Air is powered by Apple's M3 silicon. The laptop can support up to two external displays (when the laptop lid is closed) and Apple also claims its 60% faster than the M1-based MacBook Air. It boasts up to 18 hours of battery life. In our MacBook Air 13-inch M3 review, we called the Editor's Choice laptop a small wonder. It packs a 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display (2560 x 1664), Apple's M3 CPU w/ 8-core GPU, 24GB of RAM, and 512GB SSD. The new MacBook Air is powered by Apple's latest M4 chipset. The new Mac upgrades the camera from 1080p to 12MP with Center Stage support. The M4 chipset also supports dual external monitors, even when you have the laptop's lid open. It packs a 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display (2560 x 1664), Apple's M4 CPU w/ 10-core GPU, 16GB of RAM, and 256GB SSD. In our MacBook Air M4 review, we said the Editor's Choice laptop is irresistible thanks to its speedy performance, sharper camera, and lower starting price. Prefer a bigger screen? The 15-inch model is also on sale. It packs a 15.3-inch Liquid Retina display (2880 x 1864), Apple's M4 CPU w/ 10-core GPU, 16GB of RAM, and 256GB SSD.

Up to $500 off RTX 50-series OLED gaming laptops is the best deal I've seen yet, but you'll want to act fast to save
The summer solstice is right around the corner, and with temperatures rising I'm seeing prices fall on gaming laptops at retailers around the world. I keep an eye on that kind of stuff because I write about laptops for a living here at Tom's Guide, which is how I just discovered that the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i with RTX 5090 is $3,599 at B&H. That's a great deal on this OLED-equipped gaming laptop, and one of the best discounts I've seen yet on a gaming laptop with a top-of-the-line Nvidia Geforce RTX 5090 laptop graphics card. This Lenovo Legion Pro 7i is a top-of-the-line gaming laptop thanks to its high-end Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 GPU, an Intel Core i9-275HX CPU, 32GB of RAM and 2TB of storage. That's more than enough power to make all your favorite games run beautifully on the eye-catching 16-inch 1600p 240Hz OLED display. I've seen this laptop on sale at B&H before, but I've never seen the best-in-class RTX 5090 model priced so low. But let's be real—even with $500 off, this laptop costs a pretty penny. Luckily, B&H is also running significant discounts on the same laptop with slightly less powerful Nvidia GPUs onboard. So if you don't have ~$3.5k to drop on a top-of-the-line gaming laptop , you can get the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i w/ RTX 5080 for $2,999 at B&H, which is $500 off. This is effectively the same laptop with a slightly weaker GeForce RTX 5080 GPU that makes it $500 cheaper before you add in the $500 discount). Other than the GPU change it's effectively ientical to the other models on sale, packing an Intel Core i9-275HX CPU, 32GB of RAM and 2TB of storage driving the same 16-inch 1600p 240Hz OLED display. Last but certainly not least, you can get a weaker model of the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i for $2,399 at B&H with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti onboard This is the cheapest model of this laptop you can get, but it's no slouch thanks to its Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti GPU complementing the usual Intel Core i9-275HX CPU, 32GB of RAM and 2TB of storage. I've never seen such a wide selection of good discounts on a great gaming laptop, so now feels like a good time to pull the trigger if you've been shopping for one of the best gaming laptops around. As you can read in our Lenovo Legion Pro 7i review, this eye-catching 16-inch gaming laptop is a sleek, powerful machine that feels premium. And while the high-end RTX 5090 model still costs a pretty penny even after the savings, you can be confident it will run even the best PC games beautifully on the vibrant 240Hz OLED display. But don't feel pressured to spend $3k or more on one of these beasts just because they're on deep discount. The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti just launched a few months ago, and frankly it's more than capable of running almost any game you like at good to great framerates—you just might need to play with the graphics settings and fine-tune Nvidia's DLSS upscaling tech to get the ideal gaming experience. And when you're done gaming, the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i remains a capable, mutli-purpose Windows 11 laptop that's also useful for audio/video editing and other demanding tasks. And of course, images and video look lovely on the 16-inch (2560 x 1600) 240Hz OLED HDR-capable display with Dolby Vision support. Plus, the plentitude of ports, Wi-Fi 7 support and comfy keyboard make this a great laptop for getting work done. Just be careful if you lug it to the coffee shop—like most gaming laptops, you can expect battery life to be a handful of hours when writing and maybe an hour or two when gaming. But that's par for the course when buying gaming laptops, and since this Lenovo 16-incher weighs over six pounds you probably won't feel like carrying it around much anyway. This thing is built to live on a desk or coffee table most of the time, and for my money it's one of the best gaming laptop deals I've seen so far this year.

OM System Announces OM-5 Mark II Mirrorless Camera, YouTube First Look Video OM5 Mark II Adventure Ready Camera, More Info at B&H
OM System OM 5 Mark II Camera Bild Expo News: OM System new OM-5 Mark II camera continues to be an ideal choice for high-quality imagery and retains much of what made the original a hit while adding USB-C charging, an updated menu, a computational photography button, and more. Come check out the New OM 5 Mark II Camera at Bild Expo Booth #778 NEW YORK, June 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- B&H is pleased to introduce the second generation of OM System's compact, adventure-ready mirrorless camera, the OM-5 Mark II. Retaining much of its predecessor's build and imaging technology, including its 20.4MP Live MOS MFT Sensor and TruePic IX Image Processor, the Mark II sports an improved grip, USB-C power delivery and data connectivity, a dedicated Computational Photography button, new creative shooting modes, new video picture modes, and a simplified, user-friendly menu system. The rugged, IP53-weatherproof camera continues to be an ideal choice for high-quality imagery with a light footprint in outdoor, travel, and street applications. OM SYSTEM OM-5 Mark II Mirrorless Camerahttps:// Sand Beige Camera Bodyhttps:// Black Camera Body First generation users will be pleased with the inclusion of both the USB-C functionality and the new menu system, two of the most requested upgrades. The new OM System menu, first introduced in the OM-1 Mark II, is widely regarded as much easier to understand and configure, even for first time users. Like the OM-3 from earlier this year, the OM-5 Mark II features a Computational Photography button on the camera's top plate next to the shutter release button. The button gives users direct access to the High-Res Shot, Live ND, Focus Stacking, HDR, and Multiple Exposure modes without having to enter the menu. The two new creative shooting modes were designed specifically to aid low-light shooters. Night Vision mode brings out the details of a scene shrouded in darkness, clearly displaying both the night sky and the foreground and simplifying composition. The other new mode, Hand Held Assist, allows users to gauge the stability of handheld long exposures in real time. Also first introduced in the OM-3, the new creative video profiles, OM Cinema 1 and OM Cinema 2, offer a cinematic look to video footage without requiring special processing or grading. Finally, the new pronounced grip improves ergonomics for a more secure hold. The Mark II only weighs a hair (.1 oz) more than its predecessor, maintaining its lightweight and easy-to-carry form factor. The OM-5 Mark II will come in three colorways: the traditional black and silver bodies, along with a brand-new sand beige paint job. The black and silver editions will also come bundled in kits with two different lenses: the Digital ED 14-150mm f/4-5.6 PRO Lens and the Digital ED 12-45mm f/4 PRO Lens.

Score! RTX 5070 Ti OLED gaming laptop is $450 off for a limited time
Summer is upon us, and with it comes the first major discounts I've seen on gaming laptops packing the latest Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards. The best deal I've seen so far is this Lenovo Legion Pro 7i with RTX 5070 Ti for $2,399 at B&H, which knocks nearly $500 off the asking price for this high-end gaming laptop with one of the newest Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series GPUs you can get. This Lenovo Legion Pro 7i is a cutting-edge gaming laptop thanks to its Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti GPU, the Intel Core i9-275HX CPU, 32GB of RAM and 2TB of storage. That's more than enough power to make all your favorite games run great on the 16-inch 1600p 240Hz OLED display. The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti hit the market just a few months ago, and it looks to be the ideal value offering in the RTX 50-series lineup right now. And while it's not the highest-end 50-series card, it offers more than enough muscle to run even the best PC games well on this machine. Plus, the laptop itself is a well-designed 16-inch gaming notebook that's equally good for gaming or productivity work. If you read our Lenovo Legion Pro 7i review, you can see how thin and elegant it is in person, along with shots of the plentiful port array and test results, which prove why it ranks among the best gaming laptops on the market. That 16-inch (2560 x 1600) 240Hz OLED display looks lovely to boot, and it will make all your favorite games and movies look fantastic—and since it supports HDR and Dolby Vision, you can enjoy your media to the fullest. Of course, we haven't had a chance to test this RTX 5070 Ti version yet, but it's sure to outperform its predecessors and run games well thanks to the power of Nvidia's latest laptop GPUs. Factor in the 32GB of DDR5 RAM and 2TB of SSD storage, and you see why you don't have to stress about this laptop running out of RAM or room for your favorite games anytime soon. With Wi-Fi 7 and a full, comfy keyboard, you can cart this beast to the coffee shop when you want to work, and when you're done, you can lug it back to the living room and play PC games on your big screen via the HDMI 2.1, Thunderbolt 4 or USB-C ports. You also get USB-A and RJ-45 Ethernet ports, so you can count on being able to plug in old accessories and jack into wired Internet when gaming online. Admittedly, this is a hefty beast that weighs over six pounds, so you'll probably want to keep it on your desk or coffee table most of the time. But that's true of most gaming laptops, and for my money, this is the best deal on an RTX 50-series machine I've seen all month.

Fast and wide: Laowa unveils an 8-15mm F2.8 zoom fisheye lens
Laowa is well known for its unique lenses, offering photographers tools that allow them to stretch their creativity. Now, the company has added another lens to its lineup, announcing the 8-15mm F2.8 full-frame fisheye zoom lens. The lens is manual focus only, but it offers a fast and constant F2.8 aperture for a wide range of full-frame cameras. The Laowa 8-15mm F2.8 FF Zoom Fisheye has what the company calls a "dual fisheye effect." At the wide end, the lens delivers a 180° angle of view, resulting in a circular image with black edges.
