The base M5 MacBook Pro has been listed for $1,350, reflecting a $650 discount that places the new laptop well below the price Apple typically commands at launch. Such a steep reduction is unexpected for a flagship device released only days earlier, turning what would be a premium purchase into a mid‑range offering and drawing immediate attention from bargain‑seeking consumers. In parallel, AppleInsider noted the M5 MacBook Air dropping to $1,099 with an additional $200 off upgraded configurations, and CNN highlighted a $200 reduction on the Air as well.

All stories follow Apple’s announcement of a new MacBook Pro, creating a cluster of price cuts across the laptop line. The immediate beneficiaries are price‑sensitive shoppers and retailers tracking Apple’s inventory levels. Coverage does not specify the remaining stock, but the convergence of reports suggests a coordinated clearance effort.

Observers can monitor upcoming coverage for further price adjustments, additional clearance listings, or changes in the availability of the discounted models.
