A high-end MacBook Pro configuration is listed $900 off its regular price, according to 9to5Toys's weekly Apple deals roundup published Thursday. The outlet didn't specify the exact chip tier, storage size or final checkout price for the discounted model, just that it's a top-end configuration carrying the biggest single markdown in this week's list.
It's not the only Mac getting cheaper. 9to5Toys says M5 MacBook Air models are running $150 off, while the newer M6 Mac mini and the latest Mac Studio are both discounted by as much as $200. None of those figures come with a stated floor price either, so anyone comparing a MacBook Pro against a MacBook Air on cost right now will need to check the listing directly rather than take a flat number at face value.
The roundup leans heavily on Apple's current launch cycle. AirPods Pro 3 are down $50, AirTag 2 is at what 9to5Toys calls an ongoing all-time low, and there's a discount on the USB-C Apple Pencil timed to pair with the new iPhone Duo. A pre-order price drop also applies to the next-generation Apple TV 4K, alongside a cheaper standalone deal on the redesigned Apple TV Siri Remote for anyone who doesn't need the whole box.
Accessory pricing fills out the rest of the list. 9to5Toys points to more than 40 iPhone Duo cases on Amazon starting at $14, a UGREEN 6.6-foot 240W USB-C cable at $9, a Beats 240W braided USB-C cable at $18, and a 40W USB-C charger at $23, each tied to a stated percentage cut from list price. There's also a Qi2 MagSafe power bank at $60, Anker's Prime 25W foldable MagSafe charger near 35% off, and a free iPhone Duo case bundled with a Baseus Qi2 power bank as part of a launch-week promotion.
Worth flagging for anyone shopping specifically for a MacBook Pro: deal roundups like this change fast, and 9to5Toys notes some configurations and bundles are time-limited or tied to specific retailers rather than sitewide. The firmest numbers in the list are the dollar-off figures 9to5Toys published Thursday, not a locked sale price that will hold through the weekend.
For buyers weighing a MacBook Pro against a MacBook Air on this particular list, the gap is simple arithmetic even without exact totals. A $900 cut on a high-end Pro config is a much bigger absolute discount than the $150 off the Air, though the Air's starting price is lower to begin with. Anyone comparing a MacBook Pro charger, case or dock purchase alongside the laptop deal can also pull from the same roundup's cable and charger discounts rather than buying separately.
9to5Toys updates these roundups weekly, so prices and availability on the MacBook Pro configuration, the Mac mini, and the Mac Studio deals are likely to shift again before the next list goes up.
