Briefings
Apple's 13-inch MacBook Air with the M5 processor is now available for $1,099.99, representing the second $200 discount since the model launched in May. The 15-inch model is also discounted by $200, though it is priced higher than the MacBook Neo. Major retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, and B&H Photo honor these prices across all color options. The 13-inch base model includes 16GB RAM and 512GB storage, while the 15-inch version adds two GPU cores. The article notes that savings have been rare since the summer price increases.
Key points
- The 13-inch MacBook Air with the M5 processor is available for $1,099.99, marking the second $200 discount since the model launched in May.
- The 15-inch MacBook Air is on sale for $200 off, though it is priced higher than the newer MacBook Neo despite offering better value due to more RAM and storage.
Context
This finding matters because it highlights a significant price reduction for the M5 MacBook Air, which was previously expensive. The discount is consistent across major retailers, suggesting a market-wide pricing strategy rather than a single retailer's promotion.
Limitations
Price availability is confirmed for Amazon, Best Buy, and B&H Photo only. Specific stock levels or real-time pricing for other retailers are not provided. The article does not confirm if the 15-inch model is currently in stock or if the discounts apply to all color options.
