Apple's MacBook Air M5 gets $200 discount during Amazon Prime Day
Amazon is offering the 13-inch MacBook Air M5 with 512 GB for $1,099, a $200 cut from its usual $1,299 price.
Amazon’s October Prime Day promotion has lowered the cost of Apple’s 13-inch MacBook Air M5, equipped with a 512 GB SSD and the latest M5 chip, to $1,099, a $200 reduction from its regular $1,299 price tag. The discount mirrors a similar price cut for the 15-inch variant, now listed at $1,299, down from $1,499, and offering two additional speakers and extra GPU cores for improved graphics. These adjustments position the mid-range MacBook Air as a stronger value proposition against Apple’s $699 MacBook Neo.
The sale reflects Amazon’s effort to counter Apple’s recent price hikes from June. Reviewers still praise the laptop’s long battery life, bright display, and solid audio performance despite the higher base price. The promotion is limited to the Prime Day period, making it the first notable price drop for the M5 model in months.
