Amazon Drops M5 MacBook Pro to $1,447 in Early Black Friday Price Plunge

The aggressive markdown highlights retailer pressure that elevates discounted M4 configurations as the better value for many buyers.

Overview

  • Amazon set new all‑time lows for the 14‑inch M5 MacBook Pro, listing the 16GB/512GB model at $1,447 and the 16GB/1TB version at $1,647.
  • M4 MacBook Air models are back under $750 at Amazon in early Black Friday promotions, with deal listings noting limited stock that can sell through quickly.
  • An upgraded M4 Pro MacBook Pro with 24GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD is priced at $2,099, a $300 discount that matches last year’s Black Friday level.
  • Refurbished older MacBook Pro units are surfacing at deep cuts, including 2020 Intel configurations around $440 through deal outlets with noted inventory constraints.
  • Coverage emphasizes that real‑world performance gains from M5 are modest for many users, making higher‑RAM or larger‑storage M4 options a stronger buy during these sales.
