Amazon has slashed $199 off nearly every M5 MacBook Air model, kicking off with the 13‑inch 512 GB variant now priced at $899.99. The discount applies across all color options and mirrors a broader price‑cut campaign that began earlier this week. Shoppers can expect free shipping in early June, making the deal especially attractive for budget‑conscious buyers. The timing aligns with holiday shopping plans.

Both 13‑inch 16 GB/1 TB and 24 GB/1 TB configurations now sell for $1,099.99 and $1,299.99 respectively, each reflecting the same $199 markdown and setting all‑time low price points. The 15‑inch lineup follows suit, with the 512 GB model at $1,099.99 (down from $1,299) and the top‑tier 24 GB/1 TB version at $1,499.99, a $200 reduction. No discount appears for the 15‑inch 16 GB/1 TB model, leaving a gap in the promotion.

These Amazon cuts pressure Apple’s own pricing strategy and could drive a surge in MacBook Air purchases ahead of the back‑to‑school season. With multiple configurations now under $1,500, consumers gain unprecedented access to Apple’s latest silicon without the premium price tag. Analysts say the cuts could push Apple toward bundled accessories to protect margins.
