Your Friday edition of 9to5Toys Lunch Break is now live and ready to roll. Today’s deals join the ongoing all-time lows on the M4 MacBook Air lineup at $250 off and start off with the most affordable 24GB M5 MacBook Pro at the lowest price we have tracked to date with over $125 in savings. Those offers sit alongside AirPods Pro 2 down at one of the lowest prices we have seen at over $100 off, alongside official Apple Watch Solo Loops from $5, the Bose holiday sale, and exclusive sitewide offer on Harber London’s gorgeous leather tech bags and folios. Scope it all out below.
Brand new 24GB M5 MacBook Pro $126 off for 9to5 readers ($326 under Amazon’s most affordable 24GB)
While the early Black Friday M4 MacBook Air deals are indeed flying, we have also secured 9to5 readers some exclusive discounts on the brand new 14-inch M5 MacBook Pro – these are the lowest prices we can find anywhere online right now. One highlight for me here is the on the 24GB/512GB that is now over $125 off the list price.
The authorized Apple dealers over at Expercom are now offering Apple’s brand new 14-inch M5 MacBook Pro with 24GB of RAM and the stock 512GB internal SSD down at $1,673.07 shipped when you click through our exclusive links in this post – the price appears just above the “Add to cart” button when you scroll down on the listing page.
This the $1,799 configuration with the base storage capacity and upgraded RAM count to 24GB. One of the main reasons this setup stands out for me, and quite possibly for any potential M5 customers, is exactly that – you’re looking at a mid-range but upgraded RAM count to increase performance where it really counts without paying for Apple’s pricey internal storage upgrade.
As of right now, Amazon only sells 24GB M5 MacBook Pro models with 1TB of storage. That means the most affordable 24GB M5 MacBook it sells carries a $1,999 list price, and even if it does see some wild $300 price drop or something for Black Friday it will still cost more than the exclusive offer we have here today. Now clearly that model has double the storage, and that counts for something for sure, but I would much rather invest in the memory than the storage.
Here’s a quick reminder of some of the exclusive pricing on other 14-inch M5 MacBook Pro models:
AirPods Pro 2 hit one of the best prices ever at $103 off in early Black Friday sale
We caught an early Black Friday deal on AirPods Pro 2 that very quickly sold out at $150. Apple’s previous-gen pro-grade earbuds deliver some seriously great value at a pice like that, but they have since completely sold out at Target and Amazon, fortunately Best Buy is now offering them down at $146.99 shipped– one of the best prices we have ever tracked.
Alongside its second batch of Black Friday Doorbusters that went live this morning alongside the now live early Black Friday sale, Best Buy is now offering AirPods Pro 2 down at $146.99 shipped. Originally $249, this is $102 off and the best price we can find.
