Amazon has slashed prices on the new Apple M5 MacBook Air this week, offering up to $150 off across several configurations. The 13‑inch 512 GB model now rests at $949, down from $1,099, while the 24 GB/1TB version drops to $1,349 from $1,499. These figures mark the lowest ever for each setup for consumer buyers today even though a significant discount remains.

Amazon’s deal sheet also covers the 15‑inch lineup. The 512 GB model now costs $1,149, down from $1,299, while the 16 GB/1TB and 24 GB/1TB variants go for $1,349 and $1,549 respectively. Multiple color choices accompany each price point, expanding the range of options that formerly sat higher in the retailer’s catalog for potential students, professionals, and creative teams who value portability and performance.

These price cuts arrive as Apple pushes the M5 chip into mainstream use, promising a 25‑percent boost in CPU performance and nearly 30‑percent faster GPU speed over the M4. By lowering entry barriers, the company targets users who previously hesitated due to cost, potentially expanding the MacBook Air’s share in the ultrabook market by offering affordable access to premium hardware.

For buyers tracking deals, Amazon’s listings currently represent the most attractive entry points for each M5 configuration. As the retailer updates stock, the window for these discounts may close quickly, making prompt action necessary. The lowered prices underscore Apple’s strategy to broaden its user base while maintaining a premium brand image in the global technology market today and for those seeking value.
