M5 Pro Deals are Disappearing Fast, But the Most Affordable 2026 MacBook Pro is Still $150 Off (All-Time Lowest Price)

We’ve seen significant discounts on the new 2026 M5 Pro MacBook Pro series in the past few weeks, but prices are starting to rise again. Most upgraded 14-inch models are now closer to full price, but you can still purchase the most affordable M5 Pro MacBook Pro for $150 off (the best price we’ve tracked on Amazon to date).

Amazon currently offers the M5 Pro MacBook Pro with 24GB RAM and 1TB internal SSD in Silver for $2,048 and the Space Gray model for $2,049, both with free shipping.

This is the base 14-inch configuration with a 15-Core CPU and 16-Core GPU, and the normal list price is $2,199. Today’s deal offers the lowest price we’ve tracked to date on the new 2026 version.

Meanwhile, most major retailers outside of Best Buy and Amazon are still asking the full $2,199 list price.

Several other 2026 MacBook Pro configurations we previously offered at discounted prices are still at their lowest prices, but many mid-range models have seen prices rise again:

M5 Pro MacBook Pro

14-inch M5 Pro MacBook Pro 24GB/1TB $2,049 (Regular price $2,199)
16-inch M5 Pro MacBook Pro 24GB/2TB $2,550 (Regular price $2,699)
16-inch M5 Pro MacBook Pro 48GB/1TB $2,899 (Regular price $3,099)

M5 Max MacBook Pro

At the top of the series, Amazon is still offering $200 off on high-performance M5 Max models for those with serious power needs:

14-inch M5 Max MacBook Pro 36GB/2TB $3,449 (Regular price $3,599)
16-inch M5 Max MacBook Pro 36GB/2TB $3,699 (Regular price $3,899)
16-inch M5 Max MacBook Pro 48GB/2TB $4,199 (Regular price $4,399)

Amazon Offers $150 Price Drops on All 2026 M5 MacBook Air Models This Week, Deals Starting at $949

As the deals on the 2026 MacBook Pro series begin to fade, the $150 price drops on the new M5 MacBook Air remain steady with the start of this week’s tech sales.

It seems Amazon will continue to offer the lowest prices on the new M5 MacBook Air series at least until Sunday. We can’t say for sure how long the discounts will last, but as of this morning, they are still active and providing opportunities for those looking to get the new machine:

13-inch M5 MacBook Air 16GB/512GB $949 (Regular price $1,099)
13-inch M5 MacBook Air 16GB/1TB $1,149 (Regular price $1,299)
13-inch M5 MacBook Air 24GB/1TB $1,349 (Regular price $1,499)
15-inch M5 MacBook Air 16GB/512GB $1,149 (Regular price $1,299)
15-inch M5 MacBook Air 16GB/1TB $1,349 (Regular price $1,499)
15-inch M5 MacBook Air 24GB/1TB $1,549 (Regular price $1,699)

All things considered, getting the current generation MacBook Air at a $150 discount at any stage of its lifecycle is a solid opportunity. It’s possible we could see $200 discounts later in the year, such as during Prime Day sales, but it’s also common for Amazon and other major retailers to raise prices back to full price and then drop back down to today’s prices. Looking at the previous generation M4 model, the most affordable models had remained at $150 off until the end of July.

In any case, a $150 discount is a solid markdown, and there’s a good chance it will be the best deal until major summer sales and beyond for all configurations and colors.

Current Generation Apple Watch Models Starting at $219 This Week (Up to $100 Off)

This week, we’re tracking many notable deals in the current generation Apple Watch series. This includes rare discounts on the Apple Watch Ultra 3 and the return of the lowest prices on the more affordable Series 11 models starting at $299 with $100 off. However, prices are available for the more affordable Apple Watch SE 3 starting at $219 with shipping included.

40mm Apple Watch SE 3 $219 (Regular price $249)
40mm Apple Watch SE 3 GPS + Cellular $269 (Regular price $299)
44mm Apple Watch SE 3 $249 (Regular price $279)
44mm Apple Watch SE 3 GPS + Cellular $299 (Regular price $329)

As a result, we’re not seeing major price drops on the latest SE 3 series here, but we wanted to highlight it as a more affordable option compared to the discounted Series 11 models and to get it on the radar for more casual users. The SE 3, all things considered, is, in my opinion, the most appealing SE series model yet, coming with a continuously-on display and motion support.

Last month we saw the 44mm Cellular version at a lower price, but other models have now returned to the lowest prices we’ve tracked since Black Friday/holiday discount season.

Taking all this into account, if the approximately $80 savings provided on the current Series 11 deals aren’t enough to surpass the more capable flagship models, you can check out the following deals:

42mm Apple Watch Series 11 $299 (Regular price $399)
46mm Apple Watch Series 11 $329 (Regular price $429)
42mm Apple Watch Series 11 Cellular $399 (Regular price $499)
46mm Apple Watch Series 11 Cellular $429 (Regular price $529)
42mm Apple Watch Series 11 Cellular Titanium $599 (Regular price $699)
46mm Apple Watch Series 11 Cellular Titanium $649 (Regular price $749)

It’s currently $100 off and temporarily out of stock, but you can currently find this configuration at $200 off at authorized Apple reseller Expercom. Check below for more details and more affordable models.

As you can see below, Amazon offers the more affordable standard 2026 model starting at $1,499, but Expercom is currently offering the lowest prices we can find on XDR models and a new low price on the configuration with Tilt and Height Adjustable Stand:
