MacBook Price War Pushes M5 Pro to Record Lows as Air Discounts Start to Fade

Retailers are reacting to Apple’s higher base storage by undercutting each other to move stock.

Overview

  • Amazon and B&H list the 14‑inch M5 MacBook Pro with 1TB at about $1,580 to $1,599 on Friday, marking the lowest price tracked for that model.
  • Amazon has the M5 MacBook Pro with 24GB RAM and 1TB for $1,776 in silver, with Space Black near $1,799, which matches the best price seen this year for that configuration.
  • Discounts on the new M5 MacBook Air that were widely $150 off are starting to shrink as Best Buy ends its sale and several Amazon listings move back toward full price.
  • Amazon’s clearance on the 15‑inch M4 MacBook Air with 16GB RAM and 512GB storage returns at $1,099, which is $300 below its original price, though stock appears to be limited.
  • Prices swing by color and configuration because third‑party sellers set many online listings, and Apple’s M5 lineup now starts at 512GB storage, which changed the usual price anchors.
