Amazon and B&H Slash Prices on Select M5 MacBooks

Targeted, short‑term discounts are pushing some high‑memory and large‑storage M5 Pro/Max models below Apple’s raised list prices, creating brief buying windows.

Overview

  • Retailers, which began selective markdowns Thursday, are running limited‑time promotions that cut many 14‑inch M5 Pro configurations by roughly $300–$400 and in some cases up to $500.
  • Amazon is offering a 14‑inch M5 Pro with 24GB RAM and 2TB SSD for $300 off, making it one of the cheapest 2TB M5 Pro options tracked since Apple raised prices earlier this year.
  • B&H has a 14‑inch M5 Pro 24GB/1TB listed at $2,199 that ships with an upgraded 96W Apple charger, a bundle that effectively makes the offer cheaper than buying the same built‑to‑order model from Apple.
  • High‑end cuts include B&H discounts of about $400 on 64GB and 48GB M5 Pro/Max configurations, but stock is limited and savings depend on exact chip, RAM, SSD and included accessories.
  • These moves give buyers short windows for real savings — especially for back‑to‑school shoppers or pros who need large RAM/SSD machines — but they are merchant promotions tied to inventory, not permanent reversals of Apple’s pricing.
