Apple retailers are slashing prices this weekend, offering the 14‑inch MacBook Pro with Apple’s M5 chip, 1 TB storage and 24 GB RAM for $1,699. The deal appears at Amazon and B&H Photo, representing a $200 cut from the standard MSRP. Consumers get a higher‑memory configuration without paying the usual premium, a rare discount in the current market. Deal expires Sunday; limited stock available online.

Apple recently made 1 TB the base storage option across the MacBook Pro line, eliminating the 512 GB tier. The upgraded 24 GB model adds eight gigabytes over the entry‑level 16 GB spec, appealing to professionals who run heavy workloads such as video editing or software compilation. Price‑guide data shows the $200 reduction yields the lowest listed price for this exact SKU, MDE34LL/A.

Other 2026 MacBook Pro variants, including M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, also see discounts ranging from $150 to $240 on 14‑ and 16‑inch configurations. While those higher‑end models still command premium prices, the steep cut on the standard M5 14‑inch unit may pressure competing laptops to adjust pricing. Shoppers seeking a capable, future‑proof notebook now have a compelling entry point.
