Apple's 2026 15‑inch MacBook Air has slipped to a record‑low price thanks to a B&H Photo promotion. An instant $150 discount plus a $20 in‑cart coupon brings the Midnight finish to $1,129, the cheapest sticker ever for the model. Supply is limited, so shoppers must act quickly. The deal also includes free two‑day shipping within the United States, adding value for budget‑mindful buyers.

The 15‑inch Air ships with Apple's M5 chip, a 10‑core CPU and matching 10‑core GPU, paired with 16 GB of unified memory and a 512 GB SSD. Launched in March 2026 as a refresh, the model targets users who want a larger display without stepping up to a Pro tier, keeping the Air line competitive. The configuration supports Wi‑Fi 6E and a 1080p FaceTime camera, matching competitor offerings.

Apple’s pricing strategy squeezes the gap between its entry‑level and Pro machines, as B&H also lists the 14‑inch M5 Pro MacBook at $1,949 after a similar coupon. By driving the Air’s cost below $1,200, the company reinforces the laptop’s value proposition for students and remote workers, making the 15‑inch model the most affordable large‑screen MacBook currently on the market.
