Memorial Day Sales Push M5 MacBooks to Record‑Low Prices

After Apple raised base storage to 512GB, retailers pushed short, configuration‑specific record lows using limited coupons, bundle discounts, timed offers.

Overview

  • Major retailers cut prices over the Memorial Day weekend, with Amazon offering the 15‑inch M5 MacBook Air 512GB at $1,099.99 and the 13‑inch 16GB/512GB M5 Air at about $899.99.
  • Two retailers matched an all‑time low $1,499 headline price on the 14‑inch M5 MacBook Pro but on different builds: Amazon on 16GB/1TB and B&H on 24GB/512GB, so memory and storage trade‑offs matter.
  • Deals span the lineup from budget MacBook Neo units starting near $590 to M5 Max Pro configurations discounted up to roughly $400 and AirPods Pro 3 at $199, with many offers limited by color, RAM or storage tier.
  • Discounts have been volatile and short‑lived, often tied to in‑cart coupons, bundles or specific seller inventory, so shoppers should verify exact model numbers, memory/storage tiers and delivery windows before buying.
  • The price moves reflect retailers clearing against Apple’s March change to a 512GB base tier and could presage further summer sale competition around Prime Day and mid‑summer promotions.
