In addition to the MacBook Neo, Amazon is also offering discounts on other Apple devices, including the M5 Pro MacBook Pro and mid-range M5 iPad Pro. The 14-inch M5 Pro MacBook Pro with 24GB of RAM and 2TB internal SSD is available at $2,549.99 shipped, which is nearly $450 off the new list price. This deal may be attractive to consumers who want a powerful laptop with advanced features.
The mid-range M5 iPad Pro models are also seeing significant discounts on Amazon. The 11-inch M5 iPad Pro 512GB is available at $1,149 shipped, which is nearly $250 off the new list price. This deal may be appealing to consumers who want a portable and powerful tablet for work or play.
These deals highlight the ongoing trend of Apple reducing prices on its devices in preparation for new product launches. As 9to5Mac notes, 'the best deals we have tracked on the current-generation MacBook lineup since the new prices took hold there.' This suggests that consumers should keep an eye out for future discounts and promotions.
The significance of these deals lies in their potential impact on the broader Edge AI ecosystem. With Apple's focus on on-device processing and NPUs, these discounted devices may offer a more affordable entry point for consumers who want to explore Edge AI applications.
However, it's worth noting that some of these deals may not be available for long. As 9to5Mac notes, 'we can only assume this deal will not last for long as it is only available on the Indigo colorway and none of the b are 256GB variants are seeing the same price relief right now.' This highlights the importance of acting quickly if consumers want to take advantage of these deals.
