Apple’s M5 MacBook Pro is over $300 off at Best Buy right now (Open-box w/ 1-yr. warranty)

$311 off/M5 Pro

This morning we caught Amazon bringing the base 16GB/512GB M5 MacBook Pro in stock at $250 off, but if you’re trying to keep as many of those pennies in your pocket as possible, you’ll find this same machine over at Best Buy right now in “excellent” condition open-box at over $300 off. 

Best Buy is now offering the silver the M5 MacBook Pro with 16GB of RAM and the 512GB SSD down at $1,287.99 shipped in “excellent” open-box condition. Regularly $1,599 brand new, that’s $311 off the list price and the lowest we can find from a reputable source in this condition. It also ships with a full 1-year Apple warranty. 

The Space Black open-box “excellent” model is also marked down, but we have seen it for significantly less and the $1,318 price here likely isn’t enough to warrant going open-box over the $1,350 brand new at Amazon. 

Here’s some additional details on Best Buy’s open-box “excellent” listings:

• Geek Squad Verified
• Works and looks like new. Restored to factory settings.
• Includes all parts and accessories. Packaging may vary or be absent.
• 1-year Apple warranty

All-told, the $300+ off here might not be bough to side step the $250 price drop brand new at Amazon either way, but, again, in the name of uncovering the lowest possible price, these Best Buy open-box offers are indeed it when it comes to reputable sources.
