$1,499 buys Apple’s 2025 14-inch MacBook Pro with an M5 chip, 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD on Amazon, marking the model’s lowest price in the past 90 days.
The deal trims $200, or about 12%, from the usual $1,699 price and applies to the Space Black configuration.
Amazon framed the discount as part of its Memorial Day sale, a notable move because Apple markdowns are relatively uncommon and often sell out quickly.
The laptop pairs the new M5 chip and 10-core processor with Apple Intelligence features, a 14.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR display and ports including Thunderbolt 4, HDMI and SDXC.
