I hunted down the best early October Prime Day MacBook deals: Save $600 on the M5 Max MacBook Pro
Looking for the early October Prime Day MacBook deals? Apple's M5 Max-powered MacBook Pros are $600 off ahead of Prime Big Deal Days.
In the lead-up to Prime Big Deal Days, an Amazon event for Prime members, early October deals have been scarce due to recent Apple price increases. October, often called Prime Day, marks Amazon's unofficial start to the holiday shopping season.
Last year, Prime Day provided $200 discounts on the MacBook Air and up to $400 savings on select MacBook Pros, similar to the Black Friday 2025 offers. If Amazon repeats those deals in October, it could mark the lowest MacBook prices since Apple's recent markups.
Most MacBooks have already been on sale, including the budget MacBook Neo, in the weeks leading up to Prime Big Deal Days. However, it's not advisable to purchase most of them just yet, as they will likely drop further once the sale begins.
Nevertheless, there are two notable exceptions for October Prime Day MacBook deals:
1. The MacBook Pro, 14-inch with M5 Max, 36GB RAM, and 2TB SSD, priced at $3,499, discounted to $4,099, saving $600.
2. The MacBook Pro, 16-inch with M5 Max, 36GB RAM, and 2TB SSD, priced at $3,799, discounted to $4,399, also saving $600.
