Apple MacBook Air M5

It’s no secret that the MacBook Air is our favorite Apple laptop, but we haven’t been fans of its recent price hike. Well, for now that’s gone. Amazon has just started its October Prime Day sale and for the first time since prices went up, the M5 MacBook Air is now down to $1,099, which is $200 off its MSRP and brings it back to the price it was before the increase. The same $200 deal applies to the 15-inch model and most configurations as well.

This is the MacBook Air configuration most people should buy, at a price that finally makes sense. The 16GB of unified memory lets you keep all your favorite browser tabs running, a video call, a spreadsheet, and a photo editor open at once without things slowing down. There’s also a 512GB SSD on board, so you have plenty of storage space for vids, pics, and documents.

The M5 chip keeps everything snappy, delivering great performance on any complicated task you have to complete. Plus, you can get Apple Intelligence to help out with various tasks if that’s something you need. Battery life on this laptop is insanely good too, running up to 18 hours on a single charge, so you can work from anywhere without worrying about an outlet.

Snatch this AirBook for $1,099 sooner rather than later because after Prime Deal day ends tomorrow, we don’t know how long you’ll need to wait to get it again.
