The Deal
It’s $949. That is the current price for the 13-inch MacBook Air with the M5 chip on Amazon. The list price sits $150 higher, but that tag just dropped for Memorial Day. This isn’t just a slight dip, it is a new record low.
Memorial Day deals are everywhere. TVs, power stations, mattresses. It is impossible to track them all, really. But laptops matter. A sharp price drop on a top-tier machine matters more.
The new MacBook Air “takes everything good about the MacBook Air adds the faster M5 chip.” — Timothy Werth, Mashable Tech Editor
Werth called it incredible in his review. He just wished it cost two hundred bucks less. Now? He gets his wish, mostly.
Will this stick around? Doubtful. Prime Day is coming fast. Amazon might bump the price to $999 before the dust settles. It’s a gamble. A short window.
Is It Worth It?
The M5 Air is fast. It’s small. It carries enough power to ignore the heat, metaphorically speaking. The portability is there. The performance is there. The price, finally, is too.
Pick it up if you can. The $100 savings are gone if you wait too long. And you always wait too long.
