Overview
- Amazon discounts, which continued Thursday, drop the 13-inch M5 MacBook Air with 512GB storage to $949 and the 1TB model to $1,149.
- The 15-inch M5 MacBook Air also sees $150 off, with the 512GB version at $1,149 and the 1TB version at $1,349 across multiple colors.
- Apple raised the M5 Air’s base to 16GB of unified memory and 512GB storage, added a 10-core M5 CPU, and advertises up to 18 hours of battery life.
- Older 15-inch M4 MacBook Air units are back at $1,299 after a $300 cut, creating a cheaper alternative to comparable M5 configurations as stock flickers in and out.
- Because Apple increased storage tiers this generation, 1TB M5 models now undercut last year’s 1TB pricing, shifting buyer choices toward higher-capacity builds.
