Apple’s M5 MacBook Air Falls to $1,099.99, Lowest Since July

What changed

Apple’s 13-inch M5 MacBook Air is available for $1,099.99, a $200 discount and its lowest reported price since July. Amazon, Best Buy and B&H Photo are offering the base model in every color, with an M5 processor, 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage.

Why it matters

This is the second time the discount has appeared since the laptop launched in May, after summer price increases made deals less common. The price is notable because the same configuration often sold for roughly $950 to $1,000 shortly after launch, but those lower offers have largely disappeared.

For people buying hardware for development, operations or everyday work, $1,099.99 makes the Air a clearer value than its recent pricing suggested. The configuration also avoids the usual entry-level compromise of too little memory or storage.

The deal’s duration and inventory are not reported, so the practical question is whether this price holds long enough to become a new baseline or remains a short-lived sale.
