Amazon and B&H have rolled out Prime Day discounts on Apple’s MacBook Air, pushing prices on several configurations below $800. The lowest‑priced model is a 13‑inch M3 Air with 16 GB RAM and a 512 GB SSD at $799, a $500 cut from its original price. Newer M5‑based Airs also see $150 off, widening the appeal for shoppers chasing the latest silicon.

On Amazon, the 13‑inch M5 Air with 16 GB memory and a 512 GB SSD now sells for $949, while the 1 TB version drops to $1,149. The 15‑inch M5 models start at $1,149 for 512 GB storage, climbing to $1,550 for specs. These cuts make Apple’s ultrabook more competitive against Windows alternatives during the shopping holiday, with $150 savings on chips, making the Air a strong value proposition.

The broader Prime Day push extends beyond Macs, with discounts on Apple Watch and AirPods, but the MacBook Air offers the deepest price relief. Consumers who don’t need the newest chip can save $200‑$500 on M4 and M3 models, while Amazon highlights the Air as its top‑selling laptop this quarter. The sale underscores Apple’s willingness to trim margins to move inventory.
