This MacBook Pro is cheaper than it was before Apple hiked prices

If you’re looking for an absolute beast of a laptop that can handle every task you need to complete, then the M5 Pro MacBook Pro is a fantastic pick, even at its new higher price point. However, over at B&H Photo it’s on sale for $2,699 with 48GB of RAM right now, so you can grab this decked-out config for $400 off. That’s $100 cheaper than it was before Apple hiked prices by $300.

This laptop is super powerful thanks to the M5 Pro chip with a 15-core CPU, a 16-core GPU, and a Neural Accelerator, making it perfect for AI tasks. You also get an insane amount of power thanks to the 48GB of unified RAM and loads of storage space in the 1TB SSD. This setup will be good to go for years to come.

The 14.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR display delivers up to 1,600 nits of peak brightness, which is amazing in all lighting situations. The screen also delivers 120Hz buttery smooth visuals, which is fantastic if you’re doing any type of video editing. Connectivity isn’t something you’ll have to worry about either, as the laptop is future-proofed with Thunderbolt 5, Wi-Fi 7, HDMI, MagSafe 3, and an SDXC slot so you can hook up extra displays, connect drives, and transfer files with ease.

At $2,699, this is still a premium purchase, not a casual upgrade. The M5 Pro is built for power users, so if you’ll mostly use the laptop for browsing, streaming movies, and sending emails, this is a bit too much power for your needs. But if your work actually pushes a machine hard, this is a smart pick, because $400 off the MacBook Pro is a great deal.
