Amazon Drives M5 MacBook Air and Pro to Record Lows as Retailers Clear M4 Stock

Rapid price swings signal short‑lived deals with select colors selling out.

Overview

  • Amazon set new all‑time lows on the 13‑inch M5 MacBook Air this week, pricing the 16GB/512GB model at $1,033 and the 24GB/1TB model at $1,415.50, both in silver.
  • The 14‑inch M5 MacBook Pro with 16GB of memory and a 1TB SSD is $1,549 on Amazon, which is about $250 under its original launch price.
  • M5 Pro and M5 Max models also sit at Amazon lows, including the 14‑inch M5 Pro with 24GB/1TB near $2,050, while Best Buy lists excellent open‑box units around $1,914.99.
  • Previous‑generation M4 laptops are in clearance, with up to $300 off some 15‑inch M4 Air configurations and $400 off a 14‑inch M4 Pro with 24GB/1TB.
  • Listings show limited stock and some prices ticking back up on certain colors, reflecting fast‑moving, configuration‑dependent discounts as retailers work through inventory and Apple’s higher M5 base specs change price anchors.
