Red alert: The M5 MacBook Air finally dropped below $900 for Memorial Day
رجوع
SAVE $200: As of May 25, the 13-inch Apple MacBook Air (M5, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) is down to $899.99 at Amazon. That’s 18% off its list price and the first time it’s dropped below the $900 mark.
Just a few days ago, we were cheering about the Apple M5 MacBook Air dropping to $949 for Memorial Day Weekend. Now we’re practically shouting because the almost perfect machine (according to Mashable’s tech editor) just dipped below the $900 price barrier for the first time on Memorial Day itself.
As of May 25, the base model Apple M5 MacBook Air with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of solid-state storage is on sale for just $899.99. That’s 18% off its list price and its best price ever.
“There’s no denying that this laptop justifies its price,” Mashable Tech Editor Timothy Werth writes in his review of the latest MacBook Air, noting its impressive performance and speed, sizable storage, and support for WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 6 technology. Still, he suggested waiting for it to go on sale for $899 to pull the trigger, calling it “irresistible” at that price.
The starting price for the M5 Air is technically higher than its predecessor, though you’re getting more starting storage. So, when you do the math, you’ll actually be saving even more by grabbing this deal. Not to mention, this discount puts the M5 Air within a $200 striking distance of Apple’s budget laptop with the same amount of storage.
Aside from the speedier processor, more base storage, and new wireless chip, it’s worth noting that the M5 Air is pretty dang similar to the M4 Air. So if you’re already rocking an M4 or even an M3 model, it’s not an essential upgrade. For those with older MacBooks or just joining the Apple world, however, this is the MacBook to get.
