I’ll never understand how these are considered massive discounts. The prices should be deeply cut on these old models anyways

"14-inch MacBook Pro (10-Core M1 Pro, 1TB) for $1,999.00 ('https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09JQWSQK7?tag=mrforums-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1'), down from $2,499.00"

The new 14" MBP M2 Pro, 10-core CPU, 1TB, with educational discount is just $2,029.00. So this M1 Pro is not a good deal.

Even if the discount itself is considered massive, the discounted price is still too expensive

These are exactly the same prices I had in Costco pre M2 Pro/Max announcements, so in turn, zero discounts after new products.
Still a great deal for a computer with this level of performance though.
