## Key points

- The 16-inch M5 Max MacBook Pro is $3,499.
- The deal is 20 per cent off and a record low.
- Higher-memory versions are sold directly by Apple.

## Summary

The 16-inch MacBook Pro with an M5 Max chip has fallen to a record low price, offering a substantial discount after Apple raised prices across the range in June. The deal matters to demanding users who want high-end performance now, though upcoming MacBook models may arrive next week and the offer may not last.

The 36 GB memory, 2 TB storage configuration costs $3,499, 20 per cent below retail and $400 less than a few days ago; it is also $150 below its previous lowest price. The article says the M5 Max delivers exceptionally strong graphics performance, including more than 60 frames per second in Cyberpunk 2077 at Ultra settings in testing. Buyers seeking 64 GB or 128 GB of memory must purchase from Apple, while rumours suggest next week’s models may use the same M5 Pro and M5 Max chips.
