Deal Details
$50 more than the MC FP deal but you would probably spend more than $50 on fuel trying to find one near you. So, this is the next easily accessible best price.

Available:

Amazon.com: Apple 2025 MacBook Pro Laptop with M5 chip with 10‑core CPU and 10‑core GPU: Built for Apple Intelligence, 14.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR Display, 16GB Unified Memory, 512GB SSD Storage; Space Black : Electronics

Depends on how much you're willing to spend. An M3 pro would be the best choice and overall better bang for buck. It's much cheaper than the M4 Pro and M5 Pro, without being noticeably behind. If you don't mind refurbs, you can easily find some in excellent condition for $950-$1100.

Yes, for just $200 more (which is low for an Apple spec upgrade), it sure is. You get a better display, better speakers, slightly better keyboard, and better battery life.

Uh, what do you even use the machine for? Odds are you're not likely gaining anything but a marginal upgrade if you're just using it for typical computer stuff like Web browsing and media consumption, school and office work, light creative work, communication and coding. Sure you get Bluetooth 6 Wifi 7 and Thunderbolt 5 which almost nobody is going to notice a perceptible difference. It's the same chassis and display; only difference is the chip. The brightness is software controlled and Apple increased the nits in the iterations of the various models. You can change the nits on an older model using third party tools: https://www.getvivid.app The only thing they changed on the display panel itself is they upgraded from a red KSF phosphor film to a cadmium-free quantum dot film and I literally can't tell any difference; seems negligible to me.
If anything I would wait until M6 releases at the end of the year when they do a chassis-refresh, OLED panel and rumored touchscreen if you want to blow a bunch of money on a new Macbook.
Despite being 4 years and 4 months old, if you extrapolate from Apple's history with Intel macOS support it's getting at least 3 more major releases of macOS updates with the last one likely landing late 2028 and 2-3 years of security updates following that so it lasts 4-5 years easily.
If you want to "maximize trade-in value" then just sell it privately on Facebook Marketplace/Offerup/Craigslist but I think you're only gonna gain $100 more by doing that.

Depends on your priorities of course. Do you want a bigger screen that's very good, or a smaller 120hz screen that's even better? The 15" Air speakers are pretty good, much better than the 13" Air, but the pros are better. The Pro is chunkier and ever-so-slightly heavier.

The 15" aluminum chassis is better than the 13" at handling heat, but sustained high usage will make it throttle more than the Pro. Still, the performance is pretty close.

I'm currently with the Air 15, but may still switch back to a Pro. Pick your poison.
