AppleInsider reports significant discounts on MacBook Air laptops, with savings up to $320 on both M4 and M5 models at Amazon and B&H Photo. The deals include brand-new M5 configurations released today alongside closeout M4 systems, as retailers compete with midweek promotions.

M5 models see modest $50 discounts, with the 15-inch version with 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD priced at $1,249. M4 models offer deeper savings, with the 13-inch M4 featuring 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD dropping to $999 - a $200 reduction. The 15-inch M4 with 512GB SSD sees the steepest discount at $320 off, bringing it to $1,079.

These markdowns represent some of the lowest prices tracked in AppleInsider's MacBook Air Price Guide.

Additional savings include $300 off Samsung's M9 32-inch OLED display, now at a record low $1,299.99.
