Amazon’s early Black Friday sale is now rollingas of this morning, and with it we are catching some notable deals on Apple gear. Alongside these Apple Watch Ultra 4 configs at nearly $100 off andthe $50 price drop on AirPods Pro 3, some of the most notable discounts are landing on the current-generation M5 MacBook Air lineup.
Just about every M5 MacBook Air model you can buy at Amazon is now sitting at the lowest price we have tracked in approaching half a year now. Price increases hit the lineup back in June, but with Black Friday deal season swinging into action, we are getting a seriously notable chance to secure Apple’s most popular MacBook in a long time.
As we have featured previously, there are some upgraded 1TB models actually sitting at $250 offthe list price to deliver the very best deals on MacBook Air right now. But if you don’t need the 2x storage upgrade, Amazon is now delivering the much more affordable 16GB/512GB 13-inch model at$200 offthe list price:
- 13-inch M5 MacBook Air 16GB/512GB $1,099 (Reg. $1,299) – $200 off
- 13-inch M5 MacBook Air 16GB/1TB $1,349 (Reg. $1,599) – $250 off
- 15-inch M5 MacBook Air 16GB/1TB $1,549 (Reg. $1,799) – $250 off
While the deal clearly isn’t quite as deep as the more pricey configurations here, it does deliver a brand new current-generation MacBook Air at some of the lowest prices since June and a machine that’s $250 under the price of the next most affordable configuration right now.
Everybody wants more storage, and more RAM, and more everything, but I would argue that not very many of us need it. I work on a Mac all day, every day and certainly don’t need anything more than the base configs. I have, admittedly, splurged for 24GB of RAM on some purchases recently, but that’s only for the times when my Logic Pro sessions get particularly demanding – I never actually need that for browsing, video chats, and what you might consider the usual stuff.
Either way, all four colors of the most affordable M5 MacBook Air are now at $200 off the list to deliver the best deals in months and a particularly notable chance to upgrade your setup.
