Apple’s MacBook Pro M5 price just went down, instead of up
£110 off Apple’s newest MacBook Pro is a discount that rarely shows up this early after launch, and Currys has it live right now.
The 14-inch MacBook Pro with Apple’s M5 chip has dropped from £1,359 to £1,249 at Currys, a saving of £110 and perfect timing for thinking about back-to-school tech.
Apple’s MacBook Pro just got a really good price cut, saving you £110
Apple’s MacBook Pro has just landed a genuinely impressive price cut, knocking a full £110 off and making now a great time to buy.
New Apple silicon rarely gets discounted this quickly, since Apple tends to hold firm on pricing for months after a launch, which makes catching the M5 Pro £110 cheaper within its first sale window feel like unusually good timing.
That timing matters more once you look at what’s actually inside, since the M5 chip pairs a faster CPU with a more powerful GPU and a 16-core Neural Engine, meaning quicker exports, smoother multitasking across heavy apps and Apple Intelligence features that respond instantly rather than lag.
Our tech expert Jessica Gorringe compared the Pro against the new MacBook Air M5 and found it pulling ahead in exactly the areas that matter for heavier work, with a sharper Liquid Retina XDR display, a longer claimed battery life and noticeably more ports.
That XDR display hits up to 1,600 nits at its peak, runs an adaptive refresh rate up to 120Hz through ProMotion and covers the full P3 colour range, which makes editing photos or watching HDR content look noticeably richer than on a standard panel.
Apple also rates this MacBook Pro for up to 24 hours of video streaming, which in real terms means it can realistically get you through a full working day or a long-haul flight without you needing to go looking for an outlet.
That same confidence about staying unplugged carries over to the port selection, with three Thunderbolt 4 ports, an HDMI output and an SDXC card slot meaning fewer dongles cluttering your desk when you’re actually trying to get work done.
Day to day, Apple Intelligence runs natively on that same chip to help with writing and everyday tasks, backed by privacy protections Apple says keep your data off limits to everyone, including itself, while Touch ID and FileVault handle the security side in the background.
Apple rarely lets its newest hardware sit on sale for long, so anyone weighing up whether the extra ports and display actually justify the Pro price tag now has a much shorter list of reasons to keep waiting.
