MacBook Air M5 Hits $1,099 for Amazon Prime Day, Undoing Apple's $200 Price Increase
So, Amazon's Prime Day this fall has brought the price of the M5 MacBook Air down to $1,099, which is a sweet $200 off the usual $1,299. This model comes with 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage, plus a nice 13.6-inch screen. You'll also find similar discounts on the 15-inch model. This price is the lowest we've seen for the MacBook Air since early summer when Apple raised prices by $200. Although this deal is great, it’s still above the sub-$1,000 prices from early 2026 and the $749 during Prime Day 2025. Other models like the MacBook Neo have only dropped by $10, and the MacBook Pro hasn’t seen significant price cuts. There are rumors of a new MacBook Pro with an OLED touchscreen coming out this October. Older models, like the M4, are still up for grabs but aren’t discounted enough to compete with the latest. The article also points to where you can find the best Prime Day and Apple deals.
