The maximum configuration is $4,400 more expensive than a fully specced version of the last MacBook Pro.
With an OLED display and touchscreen capabilities , it’s no surprise that the new MacBook Pro Apple announced today is more expensive than the MBP announced earlier this year . But upgrading the base models that start at $2,899 for the 14-inch, and $3,399 for the 16-inch, with every premium hardware option that Apple offers pushes those prices to an eye-watering $14,249 and $14,549, respectively.
Both of those premium configurations include the M5 Max chip with an 18-core CPU and 40-core GPU, $150 worth of nano-texture glass, 128GB of memory that adds an extra $2,000, and 16TB of storage which is the real budget breaker here thanks to the ongoing memory shortage .
Maximizing the configuration of the previous 16-inch version of the MacBook Pro topped out at $10,149, according to MacRumors , but today’s $14,549 price is a result of the 16TB storage option that Apple now offers which adds an extra $7,000 to the new MacBook Pro’s price. If you only upgrade the new 16-inch model to 8TB of storage, a $3,000 option, the fully specced price is $10,549, or $400 more expensive than its predecessor.
