Overview
- Multiple U.S. retailers and Indian chains began running targeted promotions this week that lower prices on specific MacBook SKUs rather than across entire lines.
- Amazon is listing 14-inch M5 Pro MacBook Pro configurations with 24GB RAM and 2TB storage at $2,549.99, about $449 below Apple's new sticker price.
- B&H is clearing last-generation M4 Pro 14-inch inventory with examples as low as $1,799 for a 12-core CPU/16-core GPU model, while refurbished Intel-era MacBook Pros are being offered at steep discounts through deal platforms.
- In India, Vijay Sales is advertising up to Rs 20,000 off the 13-inch M5 MacBook Air with eligible ICICI and Axis Bank card users able to reduce the effective price to Rs 1,29,990.
- Most offers are limited by color, storage, RAM and stock, so buyers should compare exact CPU/GPU core counts, memory and storage and expect prices to be short-lived because Apple’s higher list prices remain in effect.
