Amazon cuts $900 off Apple's top of the range MacBook Pro
Anyone on the lookout for a MacBook upgrade shouldn't pass up a new deal on Amazon, as Apple has reduced the price of an M5 Max MacBook Pro by $900, giving you everything you need to upgrade your workflow and increase your productivity.
It came as no surprise when Apple decided to increase the price of most of its products in the past year, as it mirrors activity from many of its rivals as AI demand for memory causes price tags to soar across the board.
That's especially painful for many top-of-the-range products, as while we might have to mourn the loss of the budget phone in the coming years, high performance laptops and phones already require the most memory, causing a dent in your pocket if you decide to pull the trigger.
Now might be the perfect time to take the plunge, however, as a new deal appearing on Amazon has significantly cut down the cost of a top-level MacBook Pro, taking the price down from $4,399 to 'only' $3,499 right now, saving you nearly $1,000 in the process.
MacBook Pro M5 Max drops to $3,499 on Amazon
As reported by MacRumors, this new deal applies to the M5 Max version of the MacBook Pro, specifically with a 16-inch screen, 36GB of RAM, and a 2TB SSD — giving you plenty of room to work with, even on some of your more intensive projects.

While this particular laptop won't be suited for everyone – with the 'average' buyer more likely to opt for a MacBook Air or even the budget MacBook Neo – those who need the sheer horsepower this device provides will be more than thankful of the deal.
$900 is a saving you simply can't pass up too, especially at a time when prices have recently increased and are only likely to go up again in the near future, so if you've got $3,499 ready to spend then there are few better ways to invest.
Why is this MacBook Pro so good?
The type of people this laptop is geared towards might not necessarily need convincing, but you might still be wondering why this is over double the price of a regular MacBook Pro, let alone the cost of a base MacBook Air.
Compared to the standard MacBook Pro with an M5 Pro chip inside, the M5 Max does offer the same CPU performance across an equal 18 cores, but the latter doubles the number of GPU cores, media engines, and overall memory bandwidth — all of which dramatically increase the performance you're able to get out of the device.
If your workflow is dependent on GPU performance or memory demands – such as AI model training, generative models, complex matrix math, or real-time visual rendering – then you're going to get a lot more out of the M5 Max chip comparatively.
Additionally, this particular laptop has been significantly beefed up with enhanced storage and RAM capacity, which adds a significant cost as seasoned Apple fans will be well aware.
