In recent years, Macs had been getting more affordable, but Apple just drastically increased prices due to a memory shortage. Still, there are decent deals across the lineup. MacBook Air remains a great entry-level option with MagSafe, P3 display, and 15-inch variant. Current discounts: 13-inch M5 models from $1199 (512GB/16GB) on Amazon with $100 off; 15-inch from $1446.

MacBook Neo is Apple's first affordable laptop at $699, featuring A18 Pro chip, 8GB memory, and fun colors. No major retail discounts, but students get $100 off via Apple; Amazon lists 256GB for $689.

MacBook Pro offers top performance, though high-end redesigns with OLED and touchscreens are rumored for later this year with M5 Pro/Max. Base M5 models are safe to buy now. Deals: 14-inch M5 1TB/16GB for $1849 ($150 off); 16-inch M5 Pro 1TB/24GB for $2759 ($240 off).
