Apple's M5 MacBook Air Discounted to Record Lows

Published 6 April 2026

Apple has launched its latest MacBook Air models featuring the new M5 chip, available in 13-inch and 15-inch sizes, with immediate discounts bringing prices to record lows at Amazon. The devices, released last month, start at $949.99 for the 13-inch version and $1,149.99 for the 15-inch, reflecting $150 reductions from their original prices of $1,099 and $1,299, respectively. These offers apply to base configurations with 16GB of unified memory and 512GB of storage, marking the lowest prices seen since launch.

The M5 MacBook Air series retains the slim, aluminum design introduced in prior generations, prioritizing portability with weights of 2.7 pounds for the 13-inch model and 3.3 pounds for the 15-inch. Both feature a Liquid Retina display with resolutions of 2,560 by 1,664 pixels on the smaller screen and 2,880 by 1,864 on the larger one, supporting wide color gamut and True Tone technology for accurate visuals up to 500 nits brightness. The M5 chip, built on TSMC's 3nm process, includes a 10-core CPU with four performance cores and six efficiency cores, paired with an 8-core GPU in the 13-inch base model and a 10-core GPU in the 15-inch for enhanced graphics handling.
