Amazon Drops M5 MacBook Air to Record Lows as $150 Cuts Hit Every Model

Early steep cuts point to retailers moving inventory fast under Apple’s new storage baselines.

Overview

  • Amazon’s $150 cuts on the M5 MacBook Air, which began Friday and were still live Sunday, pushed the 13-inch 16GB/512GB to $949 and the 15-inch 512GB to $1,149.
  • Deal trackers report the discounts cover all four colors and many RAM and storage options, though availability varies by configuration and stock can change quickly.
  • Select 14-inch M5 MacBook Pro units are about $1,399 on Amazon, while Apple’s refurbished store lists the 16GB/512GB model at $1,359 with a one-year warranty and standard returns.
  • Refurbished older MacBooks broaden low-cost options, with a 2017 13.3-inch MacBook Air offered by third-party sellers for about $200 through April 19.
  • The rapid price drops follow Apple’s March launch that raised MacBook Air’s base storage to 512GB and introduced the lower-priced MacBook Neo, resetting price expectations for retailers.
