Alongside today’s reveal of the all-new M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook machines, Apple also quietly announced that it will no longer be selling M5 MacBook Pro with 512GB of storage – it will now start at 1TB. That means the starting price of the most affordable M5 MacBook Pro just went up to $1,699, and it also potentially delivers some added value to the 512GB M5 MacBook Pro you can still score right now at $1,449.
The 512GB configuration for the base model and most affordable M5 MacBook Pro is already gone from the Apple site, and there’s no telling how much stock is left at retailers like Amazon and others.
The 14-inch MacBook Pro with M5 now comes standard with 1TB of storage, and is available in space black and silver, starting at $1,699 (U.S.)
The 16GB M5 MacBook Pro with 512GB of storage Apple no longer sells carried a $1,599 list price – $100 less than the new starter price. However, over at Amazon right now you’ll find this model sitting down at $1,449 shipped. That’s $150 off the original list price and $250 less than the new entry point.
The only times we have seen this 512GB variant go for any less than this was during Black Friday 2025 and there’s no telling what might happen with stock as Apple pushes the new 1TB entry model onto store shelves – the M5 Pro and M5 Max pre-orders begin tomorrow
There is very much a chance we see the new 1TB M5 MacBook Pro go $200 off or even more than that, but chances are it won’t be until much later this year before we see it hitting the same prices as the 512GB model is today, if at all. We can’t know for sure of course, but you’re looking at summer Prime Day at the earliest and Black Friday 2026 as the most likely if we had to venture an educated guess.
