Apple's 15-inch MacBook Air with M5 chip has dropped to $1,099, marking a $200 discount from its retail price. The deal, available at Amazon and B&H Photo specifically in Midnight finish, represents the lowest price ever for this model. B&H Photo reports limited supply at this reduced price as retailers compete ahead of Prime Day 2026.

The standard configuration includes a 10-core CPU, 10-core GPU, 16GB unified memory, and 512GB storage. The price war between retailers comes as the end of the quarter approaches, with both companies seeking to capture business. AppleInsider notes that other 15-inch configurations with 32GB RAM also see savings, though not as steep as this base model.

The $200 discount equates to about a 15% reduction, significant for Apple products which typically maintain stable pricing. This aggressive pricing suggests retailers are clearing inventory before new models arrive or to meet quarterly sales targets. Consumers interested in the 15-inch MacBook Air should act quickly given the limited supply at this reduced price.
