In addition to making life a little more affordable for those buying the new MacBook Pros, hopefully these temporary price cuts will also spur people to pick up good quality USB-C cables and adapters. If you’re going to dock your new MacBook Pro to a desktop monitor, the 25% price cuts of the two new LG UltraFine monitors are also very tempting. I expect the 5K display in particular, which you can't even place an order yet, to be extremely popular.
