Looking for an Apple MacBook with high processing power and exceptional battery life? Amazon.com is currently offering the base M4 MacBook Pro for $1,299, saving you $300.

The Space Black version was $250 cheaper a few days ago, but another $50 have been slashed off the price, bringing it back to its lowest price ever according to Camelcamelcamel.

For $1,299, buyers get a workhorse with an M4 processor, Apple’s latest generation semiconductor with a 10-core CPU and 10-core GPU. The computer has 16 GB of RAM and a 512 GB PCIe NVMe SSD.

Battery life is one of the strong points of Apple’s MacBook, and the company claims the M4 MacBook Pro lasts up to 18 hours before you need to find a power outlet. This can realistically last several days of moderate usage.

The M4 MacBook Pro also comes with a 14.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR display, promising vivid colors and deeper blacks. It also offers ProMotion and can crank the refresh rate up to 120 Hz when needed. The MacBook has the same high build quality as the rest of the line.

Meanwhile, only the Space Black variant of the base 14-inch is being discounted by $300. The Silver option is just $200 cheaper on Amazon.

The M4 MacBook Pro scored 89 percent in our review, and we noted the high quality, brilliant display, quiet operation, and excellent speakers. However, the MacBook’s fan could get noticeably loud under load, and there was constant PWM flickering. The machine also has only a 12-month warranty and a webcam that takes only low-resolution photos and videos.
