Amazon Trims M5 MacBook Air by $50 as M4 Models Hit Record Lows

Retailers pair modest launch cuts on the new models with accelerated clearance of prior‑generation units before the March 25 Big Spring Sale.

Overview

  • Amazon is discounting every 13‑ and 15‑inch M5 MacBook Air configuration by $50, marking the first post‑launch markdown.
  • The 15‑inch M4 MacBook Air with 16GB of memory and 256GB of storage is $949, which matches the lowest price reported and is listed as a limited‑time deal with all colors available.
  • Additional M4 configurations are up to $300 off, including 15‑inch models at $1,099 for 16GB/512GB and $1,299 for 24GB/512GB, with 13‑inch options at $949 for 16GB/512GB and $1,149 for 24GB/512GB.
  • These price moves are positioned ahead of Amazon’s Big Spring Sale beginning March 25, consistent with the retailer’s pattern of pre‑event Apple promotions.
  • Delivery estimates for in‑stock M5 units are generally one to two days, discounted M4 inventory is reported to be dwindling, and the deal posts include affiliate disclosures.
