Overview
- Amazon's $150 price cut on the 13-inch M5 MacBook Air surfaced Friday, dropping the price to a record-low $949.
- The 2026 Air runs Apple's M5 chip with a 10-core CPU that improves speed over the M4 for everyday work and light creative tasks.
- StackSocial is promoting a refurbished 2017 13.3-inch MacBook Air for $199.97 through April 19 with an A/B grade, 8GB of memory, a 128GB SSD, and a 1.8GHz Intel Core i5.
- Mashable highlights a similar refurbished model for $229.99 that is listed with 256GB of storage and a grade-A condition.
- Coverage notes these are retailer-led deals, as Apple rarely discounts Macs, and the $599 MacBook Neo has reset the entry tier and is likely pushing early MacBook Air promotions.
