Overview
- Amazon is selling the 13‑inch M5 MacBook Air with 16GB RAM and 1TB storage for $1,349, a $250 drop from the $1,599 list price and the lowest tracked post‑hike price.
- The discounted units are limited to specific colors — Midnight, Sky Blue, and Starlight — and show estimated delivery around November 7–8 with some SKUs eligible for next‑day Prime shipping.
- The M5 MacBook Air uses Apple’s M5 chip with a 10‑core CPU and the N1 wireless chip for Wi‑Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6, and Apple lists a Liquid Retina display, 12MP Center Stage camera, up to 18 hours of battery life, Spatial Audio, and two Thunderbolt 4 ports.
- Friday’s price cut follows smaller Amazon rollbacks in October and early November and creates a tangible savings opportunity for shoppers while leaving open the possibility of deeper, broader discounts during Black Friday.
- Reporting outlets disclose affiliate links and note the move restores many configurations closer to pre‑June list prices after Apple raised MacBook Air prices in June 2026.
