Today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break is kicking off with MacBook Pro. Amazon is now undercutting everyone on the new M5 MacBook Pro, but it is the M4 model deals that are the real highlights right now – you can land the most affordable model at $300 off and Amazon just knocked a giant $364 off the 16-inch M4 Pro MacBook Pro with 48GB of RAM. We also spotted the least expensive 11-inch M4 iPad Pro cell model at one of its best prices ever, alongside up to $50 off Apple Watch Series 11 and as much as $197 off titanium Apple Watch Series 10 models. Those offers join deep deals on leather iPad cases and Apple Watch bands, iPhone 17 cases, and more. Scope it all out down below.
Land the most affordable M4 MacBook Pro at $300 less than the M5 today
Apple has unleashed pre-orders for its new M5-powered MacBook Pro, and particularly notable deals on the entry-level M4 model have all but disappeared ever since. While we did get a steady run at solid $300 price drops on the most affordable 16GB model via Amazon for a while there, pricing has jumped back up leaving today’s B&H deal the best game in town at $300 off.
B&H is now offering the base model M4 MacBook Pro in Space Black with 16GB of RAM and the 512GB SSD down at $1,299 shipped. That’s $300 off the original $1,599 list price and the lowest price we can find.
This price drop lands the most affordable M4 MacBook Pro back at the best price we had been tracking at Amazon throughout the summer and in mid-September before prices jumped back up – it is currently sitting at $1,349 there right now.
While the new M5 model has arrived and without an official price hike, you’re going to have to shell out the full $1,599 for one those of those if you don’t have gear to trade in against the list price (or time to wait it out).
For a historical comparison here, it took 10 months after release for the M4 MacBook Pro to drop a full $300 off at Amazon, and that includes the Black Friday, holidays, and Prime Day sale that landed in between. We did however see the M4 MacBook Pro with a $200 price drop shortly after it release in November just ahead of Black Friday 2024 – it’s certainly wouldn’t be all too surprising to see the M5 follow suit here, just don’t bet on a full $300 off on one of those until we are deep into 2026 at this point.
If you must have the new M5, and you must have it now (it might be a good idea to wait a few weeks – wink, wink), there are some early trade-in offers you’ll want to scope out right here.
