Apple M5 MacBook Air Prices Drop at Amazon
· Confirmed
In Short: The deals come as Amazon prepares for its October Prime Day, which starts on October 6, with early price drops of up to $150 off on select Kindle models and accessories.
Amazon is now offering the 256GB MacBook Neo in the Silver colorway down to $669.22 shipped, marking the lowest price in nearly five months.
According to CNET, Amazon has chopped $250 off the 13-inch M5 MacBook Air with 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD, bringing the price down to $1,349.
Kotaku reported that the MacBook Air M5, with the power of the M5 chip, is ideal for daily use, whether for students or professionals, and is now marked down to $1,099 on Amazon.
MacRumors highlighted that Amazon is taking $199 off nearly every model of the M5 MacBook Air this week, with matches of the best post-hike prices ever seen on the computer.
In addition to the MacBook Air deals, Amazon is also offering discounts on other Apple products, such as the Apple Watch Ultra 4 for $699.99 and the Apple Watch Ultra 4 (Milanese Loop) for $799.99.
AppleInsider noted that Amazon's M5 MacBook Air deals deliver up to $250 off, including an 13-inch model with a 10-core GPU, 16GB of memory, and an upgraded 1TB SSD.
9to5Mac reported that Amazon is now offering a deal on the new touchscreen M5 Pro MacBook Pro PROLED XDR, with a $150 gift card included with pre-orders.
What this adds
The discounts on the M5 MacBook Air models are part of Amazon's early Black Friday deals, making it an opportune time for consumers to purchase.
The deals extend to other Apple products, including the Apple TV 4K (4th Generation), which Amazon has brought back for pre-orders ahead of its release next week.
While the MacBook Air deals are significant, they do not include the latest iPhone models, which are not part of the current promotions.

What's still developing
- Clearly not a giant deal, but since the price increase back in late June (and even before that), MacBook Neo hasn’t really seen sizable price drops.
- If you’ve been eyeing a new MacBook Air, now is the time to buy.
- Add to that Apple’s price hikes, and outfitting yourself with a new MacBook seems even more out of reach — unless, of course, you find an early Black Friday deal, like we did.
- Apple’s new MacBook Air M5 packs the power of the M5 chip into Apple’s thin, light laptop, which still has no fans, so you can use it all day with up to 18 hours of battery life.
- The MacBook Air M5 is ideal if you’re looking for a high-performance, lightweight computer for daily use, whether you’re a student, a professional, or someone else.
- If you head over to Amazon, you’ll find this smartwatch listed for just $169.
- The deal drops the price down to $699, even lower than it was during Prime Big Deal Days.
- The MacBook Air M5 combines Apple’s powerful M5 chip, a beautiful Liquid Retina display, and up to 18 hours of battery life in a portable design.
- The move drops Apple squarely into a product category that Amazon and Google have owned for close to a decade, and it does so with a pitch that has nothing to do with raw specs and everything to do with knowing who is standing in front of it.
- We just spotted a deal at Amazon that drops one of ASUS’ latest 2026 Vivobook S 16 AMD-powered Copilot+ PCs to $1,099.99 shipped.
- Margaret Qualley makes Amazon MGM’s new romantic drama worth watching.
- Amazon Prime Day is one of the easiest times of year to save on Apple devices.
