Overview
- Amazon’s Memorial Day promotions produced new all-time lows on May 27, including the 13-inch M5 MacBook Air 512GB for $899.99 and the 15-inch M5 Air for $1,099.99.
- The sale extended to upgraded M5 configurations, with Amazon cutting prices on 16GB/1TB and 24GB/1TB 13-inch models and offering deep discounts on some M5 MacBook Pro SKUs.
- Other sellers such as B&H and Best Buy ran short, targeted flash deals that included 24GB M5 Air bundles and steep discounts on M3/M4 iPad Air models, but offers vary by color and stock.
- Retailers say Apple’s March move to make 512GB the base MacBook Air tier reset price anchors and prompted clearance that, combined with holiday coupons and timed promotions, created the transient price volatility.
- Shoppers should confirm exact model numbers, RAM and storage specs, color availability and delivery windows before buying because the deepest savings are highly SKU-, color- and seller-dependent and can disappear quickly.
