View Deal

Top-tier Apple laptops almost never see a big price cut these days, so a $600 discount on one of the most powerful machines defintely caught our eye. The 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M5 Max chip is down to $3,499 right now, a massive savings from its usual $4,099. For pros who need serious muscle, that’s a rare chance to save real money.

This thing is an absolute beast of a computer. The M5 Max chip alone is extremely powerful thanks to its 18-core CPU and 32-core GPU build. Throw in 36GB of memory and a maxed-out 2TB SSD, and you there’s no better combo you could spend money on. Whether you’re editing video, rendering 3D scenes, or juggling a dozen apps at once, the MacBook Pro will keep up with your needs.

Battery life is not something you’ll complain about when it comes to this laptop. If you were to stream video around the clock, you would get a full day’s use on a single charge. The display is stunning, too. The 14.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR screen can reach 1,600 nits of peak brightness so you can actually use this one outdoors if you wanted to. Plus, colors are particularly vivid, and the blacks look deep. And of course, we love the design, especially the Deep Black color.

Connectivity is amazing too. You get three speedy Thunderbolt 5 ports, a MagSafe 3 charging port, plus Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6 for fast wireless. It also supports up to four external displays with the M5 Max, so you can build out a full multi-screen setup.

For $3,499, the M5 Max MacBook Pro is an easy pick if you want one of the fastest, most capable laptops Apple makes.
