Nearly $150 off/M5 Pro
The Week 3 Black Friday deals have now begun at some retailers while big-time early sales are set to end later today at Walmart and Best Buy, but we are either way now tracking the best prices ever on Apple’s latest M5 MacBook Pro. Amazon is now offering the two most affordable 16GB configurations with prices approaching $150 in savings.
Amazon got off to an early start, as expected, with the Apple’s M5 MacBook Pro offering $50 price drops near the end of October shortly after released. We specifically warned readers not to buy one at that time, but we are now looking at solid price drops with over $120 in savings on the most affordable model and nearly $150 off the 16GB/1TB model in Space Black – these are new Amazon all-time lows and the best deals we have tracked online for Apple’s only Mac carrying the new M5 chip:
Question: It is Black Friday, aren’t they still going to drop even lower?
Answer: Yes, maybe.
Anything can and might very well drop lower as we approach Thanksgiving 2025 and the subsequent Black Friday weekend. We were targeting both of these two machines at $150 off for Black Friday this year and that might very well happen, but they are also already very close to that right now.
Based on our extensive experience, and last year’s October M4 MacBook release, we expect both of these configurations to be $150 off for Black Friday – this is what happened last year and it wasn’t until Christmas Eve 2024 before we saw the most affordable M4 go for any better than that. If you’re looking to make sure you get one of these under the tree, the prices we have here today are quite respectable, even for this time of year – but they could, of course, go for less between now and then.
But for those looking towards the more affordable M4 MacBook Air, just about every model in the entire lineup is now sitting at the best, and very much Black Friday-worthy, price:
