Apple MacBook Pro reaches 437,380 crowns in top Czech configuration
A fully configured 16-inch Apple MacBook Pro with a tandem OLED touchscreen, M5 Max chip featuring 18 CPU and 40 GPU cores, 128 GB of unified memory, and a massive 16TB SSD costs exactly 437,380 CZK in the Czech Apple online configurator, Novinky reported. The computer itself without a power brick is priced at 434,490 CZK. CzechCrunch noted that Apple filmed its promotional spot for this new touch-enabled laptop in Prague, featuring locations such as Kongresové centrum, the Vyšehrad walls, and Karlovo náměstí. Additional scenes were shot on the Vyšehrad ramparts overlooking Pankrác and the Vltava valley, as well as in the park on Karlovo náměstí where a statue of Jan Evangelista Purkyně makes an appearance. Camera shots move through glass foyers overlooking the Nusle Bridge, film people with laptops sitting at long rows of tables on an upper floor, and capture a top-down view of a spiral staircase featuring a metal sculpture of the Sun by Vladimír Procházka. Two years prior, an iPhone 16 Pro commercial featured the roof of the Kongresové centrum, Vyšehrad, and the Prachov Rocks, while a year before that a spot for the iPhone 15 was filmed in Strahov and Kamenický Šenov.
Storage upgrades account for the steepest price jumps
The single most expensive option on the spec sheet is the 16TB solid-state drive, which adds 210,000 CZK to the build when stepping up from the baseline 2TB storage tier. Novinky detailed that upgrading the SSD from 2 TB to 4 TB costs 30,000 CZK, moving from 2 TB to 8 TB runs 90,000 CZK, and jumping from 8 TB to 16 TB costs an additional 120,000 CZK. For comparison, the entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro with an M5 Pro chip starts at 84,990 CZK, while the base 16-inch model begins at 99,990 CZK.
Unified memory and display extras push totals higher
Configuring the M5 Max machine with 128 GB of unified memory instead of the starting 48 GB requires a 60,000 CZK surcharge, whereas a more modest step to 64 GB costs 12,000 CZK. Novinky noted that nanotexture glass—designed to reduce glare near windows or outdoors—adds 4,500 CZK, and a separate 140W power adapter costs 2,890 CZK.

Apple unveiled the new touch-enabled MacBook Pro models, opening pre-orders ahead of official retail availability on November 6.
