“Lock in major savings on a MacBook Pro with this $394.97 model (reg. $1,799), on sale now through June 14.”
DISPUTED
There is conflicting evidence regarding the price. One search result mentions a MacBook Pro dropping to $394.97, while another mentions a refurbished model at $399.99 (reg $1,580), and another mentions a 14-inch model at $1,799. The specific combination of $394.97 and a regular price of $1,799 is not consistently corroborated across sources.
