Archived price/spec verdict
Why this is not a current recommendation
No longer a current pick at this price: the earlier £1,359 offer was more compelling, especially because Currys now also states that the charger is sold separately.
Historical caveats
What affected the previous deal
- The previous deal price has ended; Currys showed £1,499 on 2026-07-21.
- Currys states that the charger is not included, so a compatible 70W USB-C power adapter may need to be bought separately.
- The 512GB SSD is adequate for many buyers, but creative workloads may need external storage or a larger configuration.
- Compare current MacBook Air and older Pro offers if you do not need the XDR display, ports or sustained-performance cooling.
Previous deal context
Why the previous offer stood out
- The 14-inch MacBook Pro adds a much better mini-LED Liquid Retina XDR display, HDMI, SDXC and active cooling compared with the MacBook Air line.
- M5 with 16GB unified memory and a 512GB SSD is a sensible baseline for macOS development, photo work, office use and long battery life.
- The previous £1,359 price was a straightforward Currys route rather than a trade-in, student or membership example.
