Apple stuck with the same design of its 14-inch MacBook Pro, but the internals have received a monumental upgrade thanks to the M5 Pro. However, those contemplating an upgrade might have also noticed that the starting price of this portable has risen to $2,199, up from $1,999. Thankfully, Amazon has got your back because it has discounted all of its listed configurations with the aforementioned SoC by $150, meaning that the starting price has dropped to $2,049.99.
The newest Fusion Architecture gives the M5 Pro the same number of maximum CPU cores as the M5 Max, with the base storage also increased to a 1TB SSD
The most affordable version of the 14-inch M5 Pro MacBook Pro sports a 15-core CPU, a 16-core GPU, paired with 24GB of unified memory and a 1TB PCIe NVMe Gen 5 SSD. Apple has truly hit a ‘home run’ with the specifications because you’re getting more cores, more unified RAM, and double the storage. Of course, this isn’t the only configuration available on the online retailer, and if you require more onboard storage, the 2TB version of the same configuration is available for $2,449.99.
The top-end model increases the CPU and GPU cores to 18 and 20, respectively, with the same amount of unified memory and a 2TB SSD going for $2,649.99. Delivery is expected on April 6, so you’ll have to wait a little before your desired portable Mac reaches your address. Regarding performance, the M5 Pro with its 18-core CPU nearly matches the M5 Max and M3 Ultra in Geekbench 6’s single-core and multi-core benchmarks, with the 14-inch MacBook Pro offering the same gorgeous mini-LED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate.
Apple also claims that its small machine can run for up to 18 hours on a single charge, and with the internal storage operating at the faster PCIe NVMe Gen 5 speeds, the newest MacBook Pro will become snappier than ever. Sadly, there’s no telling when these discounts will expire, so if you want one of the most powerful and compact notebooks for this generation and don’t mind that $150 price drop, this purchase is for you.
