Prime Day is officially in the rearview mirror, but Amazon clearly forgot to flip the price switch back on Apple’s latest ultraportable.
The 13-inch MacBook Air with the M5 chip is currently sitting at $1,099, taking $200 off its standard $1,299 retail cost. After Apple bumped the base price up following global component crunches, catching this machine back down at its launch price right after a major shopping event is a solid second chance to grab top-tier Apple hardware on a deal.
The M5 chip delivers so much speed that Mashable’s Timothy Beck Werth noted it might actually be “too powerful for its own good” for the average laptop buyer. In benchmark testing, its single-core snappiness makes daily multitasking effortless, while its multi-core performance comes remarkably close to matching last year’s MacBook Pro.
You get 16GB of unified memory and a generous 512GB SSD right out of the box, giving you twice the base storage and memory capacity to handle intense workloads, creative editing, and on-device Apple Intelligence tasks without stuttering.
Despite packing near-Pro power into an ultra-thin 0.44-inch aluminum frame that weighs just 2.7 pounds, it still delivers true all-day battery life. The 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display reaches 500 nits for razor-sharp visuals, complemented by a punchy four-speaker sound system with Spatial Audio support. Apple also upgraded the webcam to a 12MP Center Stage camera with Desk View, keeping you automatically centered on video calls.

Connectivity gets a future-proof boost as well, thanks to Apple’s N1 wireless chip, which delivers full WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 6 compatibility. You get two Thunderbolt 4 ports, a dedicated MagSafe charging connector, support for dual external monitors, and seamless integration with your iPhone.
Head over to Amazon to score the M5 MacBook Air for $1,099 while stocks last.
