The MacBook Pro M5 With a 1TB Hard Drive Has Received Its Biggest Discount Ever.
Last October, Apple released the latest 14-inch MacBook Pro with the powerful M5 chip, and its price has been steadily dropping ever since. The 1TB version has also dropped, now sitting at $1,499 (originally $1,699). The base 512GB model costs $1,399.99 (originally $1,599), matching the Black Friday price, when Lifehacker senior tech editor Jake Peterson called it ” an incredible deal .”
Frankly, for most people, this laptop is overkill. The aging MacBook Air with the M4 processor (following the recent release of the MacBook Air with the M5 ) is a more than capable laptop that will get the job done for $950, but for those who need extra power, such as for media editing or complex programming, the MacBook Pro is worth every penny. It’s the first Apple laptop with the latest M5 chip, which offers significant improvements in many areas, such as graphics performance, compared to the M4.
In addition to improved performance compared to the MacBook Air, the Pro model also features a fan, which the MacBook Air lacks. This should help keep the device cool and prevent crashes.
The base model features a 10-core processor and 10-core M5 GPU, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage. A PCMag review, which gave it an “Excellent” rating, says this laptop is so powerful that it can handle most games without a hitch . If you’re looking for one of the best Apple laptops, this is likely the best price you’ll see for a while.
