The MacBook Pro Max Just Dropped to Its Lowest Price Ever

An exciting new MacBook is rumored to be announced in just one week. If the reports end up being true, it'll be the most significant change to the lineup in many years, introducing a touchscreen OLED MacBook Pro. As exciting as it sounds, however, it's also the perfect opportunity to buy up the previous generation's M5 Max MacBook Pro at its lowest price ever.

That's especially significant considering the entire lineup got a price increase back in June. Right now, the 16-inch M5 Max MacBook Pro with 36 GB of RAM and 2 TB of storage is $3,499, which is 20 percent off the retail price and $400 cheaper than it was just a few days ago. And historically, this is $150 cheaper than this configuration has ever sold for.

This absolutely stacked version of the MacBook Pro is one of the most powerful laptops you can buy. The M5 Max is a huge upgrade over both the M4 Max and the M5 Pro, offering GPU performance we've never seen on a MacBook before. For content creators, media professionals, engineers, and AI enthusiasts, this is nearly as good as it gets. It can even play AAA games smoother than any Mac (outside of the new Mac Studio). In my testing, Cyberpunk 2077 could average over 60 frame per second on the Ultra preset without relying on upscaling.

If you really want to get serious about AI performance, you'll want to upgrade to the 64-GB or 128-GB configurations—though third-party retailers like Amazon don't sell them.
