Now is a good time to buy a new MacBook Pro, especially if you are looking for the entry-level model or want to find a significant discount on a more powerful, slightly older version.

Apple released the 14-inch MacBook Pro with the new M5 chip in October 2025, and it offers a great combination of price, performance, and features and we are seeing some great discounts, though not quite as large as they were during Black Friday.

For the more powerful M4 Pro and M4 Max models, the decision is more nuanced. These laptops are over a year old, and Apple is expected to release the MacBook Pro with M5 Pro and M5 Max chips in the spring of 2026. However, these older models are seeing significant discounts, making them very attractive if you need high-end power on a budget.

In the case of the M4 Pro and M4 Max MacBook Pro, our recommendations are:

Buy now if: You need maximum power immediately and want to take advantage of significant discounts. Retailers are offering substantial price cuts on the M4 Pro and M4 Max models, and we’ve seen savings ranging from $300 to $500, making them excellent value for workstation-level performance.

Wait if: You want the absolute latest and greatest performance and are not in a hurry. The upcoming M5 Pro and M5 Max chips are expected to be significant upgrades over the M4 series. If you can wait even longer, rumors suggest the M6 generation in 2026 may bring even bigger changes, like an OLED touchscreen and a new design, but that won’t happen for a while.
