Apple's new M5 MacBook Air hits record lows during Amazon's April sale, with $150 off select configurations. The 13-inch model with 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD starts at $949.99—the lowest price ever. Shoppers can choose from Sky Blue, Starlight, and Midnight colorways. Upgraded options include 24GB RAM/1TB SSD models, now priced at $1,349.99 (also a record low).

This discount applies across both 13-inch and 15-inch variants. The 15-inch base model (16GB/512GB) drops to $1,149.99, while maxed-out specs (24GB/1TB) hit $1,549.99. Notably, Apple increased base storage from 256GB to 512GB for the M5 line, offering more value. The sale includes multiple configurations, making it easier for users to find their ideal setup.

Amazon's deal coincides with the MacBook Air M5's March 2026 release. This marks Apple's first major update to the Air lineup in years, featuring the energy-efficient M5 chip and improved thermal management. Analysts suggest the discount aims to boost adoption ahead of rumored M5 Pro/M5 Max desktop launches later this year.

Buyers should act quickly: the $150 savings expires after the weekend. For context, the previous-gen M4 Air's lowest price was $999—a $50 gap. This deal positions the M5 Air as a compelling entry-point for creatives and students needing portability without compromising performance.
