Best Buy has Apple’s most affordable M5 MacBook Pro at over $300 off (Open-box, 1 yr. warranty)

Apple’s latest Mac release – the M5 MacBook Pro – received a solid $250 price drop for Black Friday this year. And considering it just released back in mid-October those were certainly some notable discounts. But they are long gone now, and Best Buy is serving up a chance to score the most affordable model at over $300 off in “excellent” open-box condition. 

Just after launching its first Outlet Event of 2026 loaded with hundreds of clearance deals and discounts on newer releases in open-box condition – you can check out the details on that right here, we wanted to highlight the M5 MacBook Pro. 

Best Buy is now offering the 14-inch Space Black M5 MacBook Pro with 16GB of RAM and the 512GB SSD down at $1,294.99 shipped. This is the “excellent” condition open-box listing that ships with a 1-year Apple warranty. 

Regularly $1,599 brand new and currently selling for $1,449 at Amazon, this is $304 off the list price and the best we can find. It also lands at $54 under the special Black Friday price we tracked at the tail end of the 2025.
