Amazon has just launched an official Apple Store on its site, and solid savings on MacBooks are already available.<\/b>
\nIn case you hadn\u2019t heard, Amazon Australia now has an official Apple Store on its site. That\u2019s good news, because it means you can now buy legit AirPods, iPads and MacBooks from the online shopping giant. And since Amazon doesn\u2019t shy away from a sale, some of them are already discounted. Amazon has taken 10% off a range of Apple\u2019s brilliant MacBooks, including the MacBook Pro M1 and the MacBook Air M1. These sleek machines came out in 2020, and we rate both of them among the best laptops you can buy \u2013 with the MacBook Air taking out the number one spot. It\u2019s not too often we\u2019ve seen them discounted either. During the times when these MacBooks have gone on sale,10% is the standard discount. On very rare occasions, we\u2019ve seen them drop to 15% off, but these prices are few and far between, so rest assured you\u2019re getting a good deal here. Both the 2020 editions of the MacBook Pro and the MacBook Air come with a 13-inch display, but there are small differences between their sizes. The MacBook Air is the thinner and lighter of the two, and comes with a smaller price tag as well. The MacBook Pro is slightly bigger because it has a built-in fan to keep things running cool. And for that reason, we\u2019d say the MacBook Pro is better suited to professionals and power users who want to use it for more intensive tasks such as photo and video editing. The Pro also has Apple’s Touch Bar rather than a regular strip of ‚function‘ keys (love it or hate it), and has more impressive audio capabilities \u2013 important for those that tend to use their laptop speakers for watching movies or listening to music. The MacBook Air on the other hand has a fanless design, so it runs completely silent. That said, it could overheat without fans to cool it down, and performance will be throttled if you\u2019re doing demanding tasks over a period of time \u2013 so keep this in mind. You\u2019ll get excellent performance from either laptop though. Apple ditched the Intel processors in its latest MacBooks, so 2020 editions come equipped with Apple\u2019s M1 chip. It\u2019s delivered a truly impressive power boost, and added hours to the battery life. You can expect about 13 hours of juice from the MacBook Pro, while the MacBook Air reaches about 11 hours.<\/p>\n
