Community Reviews

This MacBook Pro deal is a solid discount on current-generation Apple laptops, with the Micro Center price landing around 15 percent off and some configurations reaching closer to 20 percent off retail. The strongest angle is value, especially if you can price match at Best Buy, where chat-based matches and membership perks can add a longer return window and future price protection. Costco and B and H were cited as pricier alternatives, though Costco adds a second-year warranty and longer returns. It is a better fit for buyers who want current-era MacBook Pro pricing without waiting for a rare deeper closeout.

  • Shoppers comfortable using Best Buy chat for a price match, because the matched price can be completed online and sometimes stays protected for 60 days.

  • Travelers facing long layovers who want a portable work machine, because the battery and MacBook form factor suit long trips.

  • Mac users who want a current-generation Pro at a typical discount, because 15% off is about the best normal pricing for new models.

    sippingbird

  • Power users running lighter workloads on 48GB of memory, because that configuration is enough as long as the machine is not doing much else.

    tiiimdotcom

  • People who need a retailer with broad price-match flexibility, because some stores will not match this price without a local Micro Center in the zip code.

    bluedevil2012sandiegosd123

  • Buyers who need a lot of simultaneous heavy workloads, because 48GB can be too tight when the machine is running much else.

    tiiimdotcom

  • Shoppers expecting the lowest possible price on a current MacBook Pro, because better discounts usually show up on previous-generation closeouts instead.

    sippingbird

  • Buyers who want the extra warranty and longer return window from Costco, because this price is lower but Costco includes a second-year warranty and 90-day returns.

Nice. Thanks for pointing that out. I have a European trip coming off and want a new MacBook for the trip since I have some long layovers. Just wanting a basic m5 pro with 24 gb ram/1tb. It's $1869, about a hundred off of what it's been on Amazon lately. Worth buying now or is there any holidays I am missing where it may be cheaper between now and the end of June?

15% is about the best one can normally expect for any current-era Macs. You sometimes get better deals on previous-era closeouts at Costco and the like. So yeah, don't expect any better than this.

Nice deal! I've had luck price matching Micro Center MacBook deals in the past at Bestbuy; as someone else mentioned above, you can usually do so via their online chat.

Wish Costco has at this price. Costco is 2850 but with 2nd year warranty and 90-day return.
