Amazon's October Prime Day discounts reduce the price of the 13-inch Apple MacBook Air with the M5 chip by $200, dropping it from $1,299 to $1,099. This sale effectively offsets Apple's June price increases for the midrange laptop.
The 15-inch version of the MacBook Air, also featuring 512GB of storage, is listed at $1,299 at Amazon, down from a regular price of $1,499. The larger model includes two additional speakers for a total of six and two extra GPU cores to enhance graphical performance compared to the 13-inch model.
Apple's 2026 MacBook Air lineup features the M5 chip and starts with 512GB of storage that is significantly faster than previous generations. The device is significantly faster than the $699 Apple MacBook Neo. While the update lacks flashy new features compared to the last-generation model, it remains a favorite among reviewers due to its long battery life, bright screen, and excellent speakers.
