Terms of the previous offer
- The £1,782 laptop price requires AO Five Star membership at £39.99 per year. A new member's first-year outlay is £1,821.99, reducing the first-year saving against AO's £1,980 non-member price to £158.01.
- AO explicitly says the USB-C to MagSafe 3 cable is included but the power adapter is not. Budget for a suitable 60W-or-higher USB-C adapter if you do not already own one.
- The AO page confirms a backlit keyboard but not the physical UK key layout. Exact model MDE34B/A is a UK retailer SKU, but inspect the product imagery or confirm the layout if it matters.
- The 24GB memory and 1TB SSD are soldered and not upgradeable after purchase; choose enough capacity now for the intended workload.
- AO member pricing and availability can change. Recheck the exact MDE34B/A variant, £1,782 member total, membership renewal terms and delivery slot before paying.
Why the previous offer stood out
- The M5 10-core CPU, 10-core GPU, 24GB unified memory and 1TB SSD suit demanding development, photo, video and multitasking workloads better than a base-memory model.
- The 14-inch 3024x1964 Liquid Retina XDR mini-LED display supports ProMotion up to 120Hz, wide P3 colour and strong HDR brightness.
- Three Thunderbolt 4 ports, HDMI 2.1, MagSafe 3, an SDXC slot, Wi-Fi 6E and a stated 24-hour battery life make it a well-equipped portable workstation.

Condition, warranty and price evidence
- Condition
- New
- Warranty
- AO states a one-year manufacturer warranty for exact model MDE34B/A. Confirm the written Apple UK warranty and AO returns terms with the order.
- Eligibility
- The previous £1,782 price required AO Five Star membership. AO now shows £1,960 for members and £1,980 for non-members; an extra-discount banner did not establish the old total, so do not rely on £1,782 without a fresh basket confirmation.
- Recorded availability
- Rechecked on 2026-08-19: AO still showed exact model MDE34B/A as Available, but at £1,960 for members or £1,980 for non-members. The previous £1,782 member total was not reproduced and is removed from current recommendations.
