The MacBook Pro Max Just Dropped to Its Lowest Price Ever
Save this storySave this storyAn exciting new MacBook is rumored to be announced in just one week. If the reports end up being true, it’ll be the most significant change to the lineup in many years, introducing a touchscreen OLED MacBook Pro. As exciting as it sounds, however, it’s also the perfect opportunity to buy up the previous generation’s M5 Max MacBook Pro at its lowest price ever.
据传，一款令人兴奋的新款 MacBook 将在一周内发布。如果报道属实，这将是该系列多年来最重大的变革，即推出配备触摸屏的 OLED MacBook Pro。然而，尽管听起来很令人兴奋，但这也是以史上最低价格购入上一代 M5 Max MacBook Pro 的绝佳机会。
That’s especially significant considering the entire lineup got a price increase back in June. Right now, the 16-inch M5 Max MacBook Pro with 36 GB of RAM and 2 TB of storage is $3,499, which is 20 percent off the retail price and $400 cheaper than it was just a few days ago. And historically, this is $150 cheaper than this configuration has ever sold for.
考虑到整个系列在六月份刚刚涨价，这一点尤为重要。目前，配备 36GB 内存和 2TB 存储空间的 16 英寸 M5 Max MacBook Pro 售价为 3,499 美元，比零售价优惠了 20%，比几天前便宜了 400 美元。从历史记录来看，这比该配置以往的最低售价还要便宜 150 美元。

This absolutely stacked version of the MacBook Pro is one of the most powerful laptops you can buy. The M5 Max is a huge upgrade over both the M4 Max and the M5 Pro, offering GPU performance we’ve never seen on a MacBook before. For content creators, media professionals, engineers, and AI enthusiasts, this is nearly as good as it gets. It can even play AAA games smoother than any Mac (outside of the new Mac Studio). In my testing, Cyberpunk 2077 could average over 60 frame per second on the Ultra preset without relying on upscaling.
这款配置拉满的 MacBook Pro 是你能买到的性能最强大的笔记本电脑之一。M5 Max 相比 M4 Max 和 M5 Pro 都有巨大的提升，提供了我们在 MacBook 上从未见过的 GPU 性能。对于内容创作者、媒体专业人士、工程师和人工智能爱好者来说，这几乎是顶级的选择。它运行 3A 游戏甚至比除新款 Mac Studio 之外的任何 Mac 都要流畅。在我的测试中，《赛博朋克 2077》在“超级”预设下，无需依赖超分辨率技术，平均帧率可超过 60 帧。
If you really want to get serious about AI performance, you’ll want to upgrade to the 64-GB or 128-GB configurations—though third-party retailers like Amazon don’t sell them. You’ll have to buy directly from Apple for that, and the prices are exorbitant. But the 36-GB model that’s on sale has plenty of juice for dipping your toe in the world of on-device AI, and it’s a home run for video editors, designers, musicians, and engineers.
如果你真的想在人工智能性能上有所追求，你会想要升级到 64GB 或 128GB 的配置——尽管亚马逊等第三方零售商并不销售这些版本。你必须直接从苹果公司购买，而且价格非常昂贵。但目前促销的 36GB 型号对于初探端侧人工智能领域来说绰绰有余，对于视频剪辑师、设计师、音乐家和工程师来说，这绝对是一个极佳的选择。
Beyond performance, it goes without saying that all MacBook Pros have the best speakers, displays, build quality, trackpads, and keyboards of just about any laptop. I test dozens of new laptops every year, and while some have come close (such as the Surface Laptop Ultra I just finished testing), none have taken the crown.
除了性能之外，毋庸置疑的是，所有 MacBook Pro 都拥有几乎所有笔记本电脑中最好的扬声器、显示屏、制造工艺、触控板和键盘。我每年都会测试几十款新笔记本电脑，虽然有些产品表现接近（比如我刚测试完的 Surface Laptop Ultra），但没有一款能夺得桂冠。
You might be wondering if waiting to see these new MacBooks next week is worth it. Maybe. I can’t guarantee that this deal will stick around, and I don’t know what these new MacBooks will be like. Rumors say that they will sport the same chip options as the current MacBook Pros, meaning we’d get an M5 Pro and M5 Max once again. So if you’re mostly interested in the performance, you can save some serious cash by snagging this M5 Max deal.
你可能在想，等待下周发布的新款 MacBook 是否值得。也许吧。我无法保证这个优惠会持续多久，也不知道这些新款 MacBook 会是什么样。传闻称它们将采用与当前 MacBook Pro 相同的芯片选项，这意味着我们将再次看到 M5 Pro 和 M5 Max。因此，如果你主要关注的是性能，那么抓住这次 M5 Max 的优惠可以省下一大笔钱。
