The MacBook Pro M5 has dropped to its lowest price at Argos

Apple rarely discounts its own hardware, so when a retailer cuts the price of a current-generation MacBook Pro by a meaningful amount, it tends to be worth stopping and paying proper attention to what is actually on offer.

That product is the 14-inch MacBook Pro with M5, now down from £1,599 to £1,279 at Argos, a saving of £320 on a laptop that launched only earlier this year and still sits at full price almost everywhere else.

The M5 chip is the engine that makes this generation worth buying over its predecessors, pairing a 10-core CPU with a 10-core GPU and a Neural Accelerator built into each GPU core for faster on-device AI performance across everyday and professional tasks.

In practical terms, that translates to large video exports, generative image tools, and complex audio sessions moving through considerably faster, without the fan noise that older Intel-based machines would produce under the same demand.

The 16GB of unified memory ensures that the processor is never waiting on data, and the 512GB SSD gives enough headroom for a working drive without relying entirely on cloud storage for everything that matters.

Battery life is rated at up to 24 hours during video playback, which in everyday use translates to a laptop that rarely needs its charger before the end of a long working day, even with demanding apps running throughout.

The 14.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR display runs at up to 120Hz with a peak brightness of 1,000 nits, making it genuinely comfortable for sustained editing work as well as the kind of sharp, colour-accurate output that creative professionals expect from this class of machine.

Connectivity covers three Thunderbolt 4 ports, HDMI, MagSafe 3, an SDXC slot, and a headphone jack, which removes the need for a dock in most desktop setups and keeps the machine genuinely useful when working away from a desk.

This MacBook Pro configuration suits professionals, students, and power users who want current-generation silicon without stretching to a higher-spec build, and £1,279 represents a compelling entry point into Apple’s most capable laptop line.
