Overview
- Over Sept. 27–29, Amazon dropped the price on a 16-inch M5 Max MacBook Pro (36GB RAM, 2TB SSD) from $4,399 to $3,499 and cut multiple 14-inch M5 Pro and M5 Max 2TB configurations to as low as $2,699 and $3,499 respectively.
- Reports from multiple outlets and price trackers show several of the discounted SKUs hit all-time low prices and that some units were in stock with Prime shipping available at the time of reporting.
- Discounts extend beyond Pro models to M5 MacBook Air markdowns up to $150, launch/launch-back deals on the 2026 M6 Mac mini and M5 Max Mac Studio, and select Apple Certified Refurbished listings with limited inventory.
- Prices vary by finish and exact SKU, for example the Silver 16-inch M5 Max was listed at $3,499 while the Space Black version carried a higher price, and Amazon’s offers are time- and stock-limited so availability can change quickly.
- Deal coverage notes editorial affiliate disclosures and reliance on price trackers, and the moves track to an early-fall month-end sales cadence that could push more inventory clearance and influence Q4 pricing competition.
