Amazon Cuts $900 Off Apple’s 16-Inch M5 Max MacBook Pro
Amazon has discounted a 16-inch MacBook Pro with the M5 Max chip, 32-core GPU, 36GB RAM, and 2TB SSD to $3,499, down from $4,399. A second 16-inch M5 Max configuration with 48GB RAM and 2TB storage is also reduced by $500 to $4,499. MacRumors notes that it is an affiliate partner with Amazon.
Amazon’s latest promotion covers two high-end 16-inch MacBook Pro models. The first pairs Apple’s M5 Max chip and a 32-core GPU with 36GB memory and a 2TB SSD, priced at $3,499 after a $900 reduction from $4,399. The second offers 48GB memory and 2TB storage for $4,499, a $500 saving from $4,999.
The markdowns arrive after summer price increases for 2026 MacBook Pro models, the report notes. MacRumors also states that it receives affiliate compensation from Amazon and runs an Apple deals roundup plus a deals newsletter.
These discounts may make Apple’s premium laptops more attainable for professionals, creators, and students who need high memory or storage, potentially influencing when they upgrade. Amazon’s promotion could pressure other retailers to match or counter, affecting buyers and resellers. Still, these high-end gadgets remain costly, so broader impact may be limited mainly to affluent or work-funded users. Affiliate arrangements may also shape which deals receive visibility.
