Macworld Apple MacBook Pro M5 Max View Deal (function () { document.querySelector("#sticky-promo-block a").addEventListener("click", function(e) { const debug = document.location.host.search(/lndo.site|go-vip.net/) !== -1; const text = this.closest("#sticky-promo-block").querySelector("p.promo-title").textContent; const data = { event: "stickyConversionUnitClick", eventCategory: "Sticky Conversion", eventAction: "Click", eventLabel: text }; if(debug)console.log("Sticky Conversion CLick - pushing to dataLayer: ", data); dataLayer.push(data); return true; }); })(); If you want the best laptop you can possibly get, you’d better be prepared to spend quite a bit of money. The RAM and storage crisis has forced Apple and the rest of the industry to raise prices on just about everything, with the highest-end laptops getting the biggest increases. For example, the top-of-the-line 16-inch M5 Max MacBook Pro with 36GB of RAM and 2TB of storage jumped $500, from $3,899 to $4,399, and we haven’t seen it dip much below $4,000 since. Until now. Amazon is selling this MacBook Pro for $3,499 , a whopping savings of $900 off its current MSRP and $400 under the price it was before the Great Summer Price Hike. That’s not just a great deal; it’s the lowest price we’ve ever seen, before or after the price hike. The best part is that this is really a pro-level laptop that can handle all your projects, whether you’re editing video or working on AI models. The device runs on the M5 Max chip with an 18-core CPU and a 32-core GPU that will make video edits and 3D work run as smoothly as butter. Each GPU core has a Neural Accelerator, so AI tools run right on the laptop too. With 36GB of unified memory, you can keep dozens of apps and tabs open without issue. The 2TB SSD holds plenty of files, too, and you’re unlikely to need an upgrade anytime soon. The spacious 16.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR display is stunning, hitting 1600 nits peak brightness with an impressive contrast ratio. There are three Thunderbolt 5 ports that can handle fast drives and up to four external displays. You also get HDMI, an SD card slot, MagSafe charging, and Wi-Fi 7. In short, you won’t have to worry about upgrading for years. So go grab it for $3,499 while it’s still $900 off because this deal won’t last forever. And we doubt it’ll go much lower, even with Black Friday around the corner.
