It's been a tough year for those looking to upgrade their laptops with the necessary power for video editing or 3D art and design, with prices soaring due to AI-related memory hikes. Yet, today brings a glimmer of hope: Amazon has slashed the price of this year's 2026 MacBook Pro 14-inch, M5 Pro, 24GB memory, 1TB SSD model from $2,499 to $2,049, a saving of $430.
This deal is particularly sweet, considering this configuration was previously priced at $2,059 in April, just before the significant price hike in June. With memory prices showing no signs of dropping, this deal offers a rare opportunity for late 2026 buyers.
A lighter and more compact option for on-the-go work is the M5 MacBook Air 13-inch. While the M5 chip is less powerful than the M5 Pro for sustained studio work, it is perfect for photo editing or content creation and weighs just 1.2kg.
