Apple announced a slew of products in March, including the MacBook Air with the M5 chip, which ended up increasing in price in June due to the RAM shortage. These MacBooks come in both 13-inch and 15-inch sizes, and if you're interested in either, it's a good time to buy: In the leadup to Black Friday, Amazon is selling both at a $200 discount, and the 1 TB storage versions for $250 off.
Those discounts bring the 13-inch MacBook Air to $1,099.99 (down from $1,299) and $1,349.99 (originally $1,499.99) for the 512GB and 1 TB versions, respectively. The 15-inch MacBook Air is down to $1,299 (originally $1,499), and the 1TB version is $1,549.99 (originally $1,799.99). All versions are at their lowest prices since the June price hikes, according to tracking tools.
The M5 MacBook Air is the best laptop for most people looking for a new machine in 2026. In comparison to the already excellent M4 Airs, the M5 base model has double the storage at 512GB. The powerful M5 chip makes the performance even smoother according to Mashable's review. The aluminum design is as good as you'd expect from Apple's most popular portable laptop, lightweight and thin. It comes with a Liquid Retina display, Touch ID, a 12MP Center Stage Camera, and the Magic Keyboard.
Typically, the question would be whether to go for the slightly older M4 MacBook Air or pay a bit more for the newer M5 chip—but given how tough it is to find a new M4 laptop used, and the fact that most refurbished ones are the same price as the M5 with 512GB of storage, it makes the choice to go with the M5 a no-brainer—especially with a $250 discount.
