Amazon today has dropped the price of the new M5 MacBook Pro to $1,449.00, down from $1,599.00. This is the 10-Core model with 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD, and it's a solid second-best price on the M5 MacBook Pro.

MacBook Pro M5 Pro/Max, when??? Not even one rumor or leak about it... No M5 Pro/Max release this year either or what?
 
Beginning to wonder if they’ve just decided to wait for M6 for the pro/max… would be interesting if we got M6 Pro/Max before M6. If the NPU and Neural capabilities are another boost over M5, I could see Apple making a push with their Pro/Studio hardware. AMD and nVidia are not really focussed on individual workstation these days. Apple bringing performance that matches of beats CUDA performance on nvidia’s desktop cards would get a lot of attention from everyone from content creators to filmmakers to AI developers.

The other possibility is that they are deciding how to deal with the long term RAM and nand shortage the world is facing thanks to AI. Consumer confidence isn’t particularly high right now, so they could be trying to figure out how to minimize any price increases.
 
Who buys with 16gb these days... phones have that amount
And then it’s 275$ to add an extra 8GB to bring it up to 24GB. It should at least be 275$ to add an extra 16GB. Apple doesn’t want us to have RAM.
 
Im bringing my M1Pro to an Apple Store on Sunday. I think it will need a new logic board which is going to cost a fortune. If that is the case, for the first time in over 15 years I might be wondering if I should go back to a Windows machine.

I looked at a HP AiO desktop with a 32” 4K display, 32GB and 2TB specs and I asked myself why Apple is purposely crippling the iMac with a 24” display in 2026, even a 27” would be an insult for the price Apple is charging.
