Apple’s first major launches of the year are all but set in stone now with new Macs set to debut as early as this month, including a new lower-cost entry level MacBook and the overdue M5 Pro/M5 Max MacBook Pro models. But with all that in mind, and for folks looking to land somewhere in the middle in terms of price and power, we wanted to highlight the ongoing $300 price drops on the M5 MacBook Pro that debuted late last year.
While Amazon has the starter M5 MacBook Pro configs down at $1,449 right now, or $150 off the list price, those looking to land a more powerful RAM and storage setup without spending anywhere near the price of the same configs with the M5 Pro/M5 Max setups will want to take note of the $300 price drops live on the 32GB models at B&H:
- 14-inch M5 MacBook Pro 24GB/512GB $1,549 (Reg. $1,799)
- 14-inch M5 MacBook Pro 32GB/512GB $1,699 (Reg. $1,999)
- 14-inch M5 MacBook Pro 32GB/1TB $1,899 (Reg. $2,199)
All of these configurations are at the lowest prices we can find online right now, delivering some serious bang for your buck considering these machines pack in Apple’s state of the art M5 chip and are now selling for $500 or more less than what the (closest) comparable M5 Pro/Max models will land at later this month/early March.
One might suggest you might as well just score a one of the lower tier configurations with the upcoming M5 Pro chip instead, but just keep in mind even the 24GB setups on the Pro chip are going to cost more than this, and whole lot more if you configure them with 32GB of RAM – the base model M4 Pro MacBook Pro for example starts at $1,999 right now from Apple and will run you at least $200 more than that if you start upgrading the RAM and storage.
