We never thought we’d see a new MacBook Pro this cheap again.
Ever since Apple raised prices on MacBooks in June, we haven’t seen prices drop anywhere near where they used to be. Today’s deal gets there and then some: Amazon is selling the 14-inch M5 MacBook Pro for $1,349, an impressive savings of $650 and the best price we’ve ever seen—before or after the price hike.
With the launch of the M6 this week, this is now the previous-generation MacBook Pro, but there’s not much more you’re getting by paying $650 more for a new model. The M5 chip is still incredibly fast with 16GB of RAM and a super-fast 1TB drive that has 2x faster read/write performance compared to the M4 model.
Of course, it also comes with a brilliant Liquid Retina XDR display with ProMotion, Thunderbolt 4, HDMI, an SDXC card slot, and Wi-Fi 7. If you want to use It as a desktop replacement, you can also hook up a pair of high-resolution external displays. And with 24-hour battery life, you’ll be able to take it anywhere without a worry.
In our 4.5-star review, we said the MacBook Pro offers “a tremendous combination of price, performance, and features,” and that was at its full price of $1,599. Now that it’s $250 less than that, it’s a no-brainer purchase. So go grab a MacBook Pro for just $1,350 and save $650 before it’s gone forever.
