Deal | Newest 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air with Apple M5 gets notable discount on Amazon

Apple’s newest MacBook Air model has received a substantial discount on Amazon shortly after it was officially shown off last month. Both the 13-inch and 15-inch variants have been discounted by $150 each, effectively making their prices $949.99 and $1,149.99, respectively. Amazon hasn’t specified when the promotion expires, so, if you’re in the market for a new MacBook, now might be a good time to pick one up.

Apple gave both M5 MacBook Air variants a much-needed storage upgrade this time. Hence, you get a 512 GB SSD and 16 GB of RAM with the entry-level variant on sale above. I/O is a bit limited with just two Thunderbolt 4.0 ports, effectively forcing you to rely on third-party docks for added connectivity. As their names suggest, the MacBook Air 13 comes with a 13.6-inch 16:10 60 Hz IPS LCD panel, while the MacBook Air 15 comes with a 15.3-inch screen with the same specs.

Our in-depth reviews of the 13-inch and 15-inch M5 MacBook Air praise the laptops for their impeccable performance thanks to Apple’s newest chip, sturdy chassis, excellent speakers and long battery life. Then again, these have been the hallmark features of most MacBook Air models launched earlier, and the new models only build on what already existed, adding new features like Wi-Fi 7. The lack of upgradability for memory/storage and the lacklustre camera remain problematic, though.
