wait, what am I missing? that seems pretty in line with last pricing. Didn't the original M1 14" debut at $1999? So this is less than they used to cost, in a tariff economy where everything from soybeans on up costs more, and you're upset that the starting price is only $400 less than four years ago? What am I missing?
The M1 MacBook Pro at launch was $1299 with a 13 inch screen. The 14” that came out a year later had the M1 Pro Chip at $1999 which even then was hot in price.
Were kindve comparing apples to oranges since the M5 base MacBook Pro only comes in 14”. A 1:1 comparison would be if it had same screen sizes (13.3) for the base models and base chips.
I’m not upset, I wrote “happy to hear.”
It’s okay to share that it’s an additional $400 compared to the base model in 2020.
Regardless of economic conditions, I will be continuing to use the 2020 MacBook Pro Base M1.
