# The discount on MacBook is real, but the new screen is still just a rumor

Briefly: WIRED writes about a discount on the 16-inch MacBook Pro with M5 Max, 36 GB of memory and 2 TB storage. At the time of publication, it was priced at $3,499 on Amazon, down from a listed full price of $4,399. The author also discusses a rumor about a new MacBook Pro with an OLED touchscreen that will supposedly be revealed next week. The material itself admits that the characteristics and the announcement itself are still unknown. The discount applies to a specific configuration, seller and price check time.

Why pitching requires caution: The combination of “lowest price” and “big announcement next week” creates pressure to buy now. The first can only be verified by the history of this particular configuration, and the second is based on reports of plans that Apple has not confirmed. The future laptop may be different, come out later, or cost differently. It is impossible to conclude from a price reduction that the store already knows about a ready-made replacement model. It is more important for the buyer to compare the price with their own tasks and alternatives, check the return conditions and not pay for power that is not needed. The article does not claim that the rumor is proven; exaggeration occurs when the discount and forecast are retold as a single confirmed fact.
