Both Models of the Latest MacBook Air M5 Are Currently $200 Off.
In March, Apple announced a slew of products whose prices eventually increased in June due to a RAM shortage , including the MacBook Air with the M5 chip. These MacBooks come in both 13-inch and 15-inch variants, and if you’re interested in either, now’s a great time to buy: Amazon is currently discounting both at $200. That brings the 13-inch MacBook Air to $1,099.99 (previously $1,299), and the 15-inch MacBook Air to $1,299 (originally $1,499), hitting their lowest prices since the June hike, according to tracking services .
The MacBook Air M5 is the best laptop for most users in 2026, as is typically the case with every new model, when it comes to value for money. Compared to the already excellent Air M4, the base M5 model has double the storage at 512GB. According to Mashable, the M5 chip is powerful and makes the device even smoother . The aluminum chassis lives up to expectations for Apple’s most popular portable laptop, ensuring a lightweight and thin design. It features a Liquid Retina display, Touch ID, a 12-megapixel front-facing camera, and the Magic Keyboard.
Typically, the question comes down to whether to go for the slightly older MacBook Air with the M4 processor or pay extra for the newer M5, but given how hard it is to find a new M4 laptop, and that most refurbished ones cost the same as the M5 with 512GB of storage, the choice for the M5 is obvious—especially with the $200 discount.
