Amazon has the 16GB\/1TB model down at the <strong>$1,499<\/strong> all-time low ($200 off the list price) and B&#038;H has this 24GB\/512GB model Apple doesn\u2019t sell anymore at the same price. Details below.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-1210210\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Apple got rid if the 512GB storage tier on the current-gen M5 MacBook Pro in March. This leaves the 16GB\/1TB as the new entry point, but there are still some 512GB models floating around out there with some solid deals:<\/p>\n<p>Amazon is currently offering the 14-inch M5 MacBook Pro with 16GB of RAM and the new base 1TB storage capacity down at <strong>$1,499 shipped <\/strong>in Space Black. This is a regularly $1,699 machine that started life at $1,799 in late 2025 and is now sitting down at the lowest price we have ever tracked on Amazon.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>B&#038;H, however, still has some stock left on the 512GB models and is offering a configuration with 24GB of RAM at the same <strong>$1,499 shipped <\/strong>right now. Previous to Apple configuring the storage tiers on the M5 machines, this was a $1,799 machine.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I, as I have said many a time, much prefer to pay for the RAM over the storage, and this has me leaning towards the B&#038;H offer. That said, Apple clearly thinks 512GB of storage is a thing of the past on the Pro machines, and I\u2019m starting to as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-m5-macbook-pro\">M5 MacBook Pro<\/h3>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-m5-pro-macbook-pro\">M5 Pro MacBook Pro<\/h3>\n<p>\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"google-preferred-source-badge-dark\" src=\"https:\/\/9to5toys.com\/wp-content\/themes\/ninetofive\/dist\/images\/google-preferred-source-badge-dark.png\" alt=\"Add 9to5Toys as a preferred source on Google\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"google-preferred-source-badge-light\" src=\"https:\/\/9to5toys.com\/wp-content\/themes\/ninetofive\/dist\/images\/google-preferred-source-badge-light.png\" alt=\"Add 9to5Toys as a preferred source on Google\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"disclaimer-affiliate\">FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links.
