Amazon Rolls Out First Cash Discounts on Apple’s New M5 MacBooks as Retailers Clear M4 Stock

Leftover 512GB M5 MacBook Pro configurations at retailers now undercut Apple’s new 1TB base price.

Overview

  • Amazon is taking roughly $49–$50 off nearly every new M5 MacBook Air and M5 Pro/Max configuration during launch week.
  • Best Buy is offering member incentives instead of cash markdowns, with a $50 credit on M5 MacBook Air and a $100 credit on M5 Pro or Max for Plus and Total members.
  • Closeout deals on the M4 MacBook Air are far deeper, with the 15-inch 16GB/512GB hitting $1,079 at Amazon and B&H, about $320 below its original price.
  • After Apple moved the M5 MacBook Pro to a 1TB base, Amazon’s remaining 14-inch 512GB units are $1,399, while the new 1TB base model is $1,499 following a $200 drop.
  • The M5 MacBook Air now starts at 16GB unified memory and 512GB storage and adds faster SSDs plus Apple’s N1 wireless chip for Wi‑Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.
