Amazon trims $150 off the M5 MacBook Air before Black Friday
Amazon has discounted the M5 MacBook Air to $1,149, $150 off its regular price. The 13.6-inch laptop features Apple's M5 chip, Apple Intelligence, and up to 18 hours of battery life. The article warns that holiday pricing and stock may be uncertain.
Amazon is selling the 13.6-inch M5 MacBook Air for $1,149, which is $150 below its usual price. The listing follows a Prime Day offer that was $50 cheaper, making this the lowest price seen since then.
The laptop uses Apple’s M5 processor and includes Apple Intelligence features. Its Liquid Retina screen, two Thunderbolt 4 ports, and claimed battery life of up to 18 hours position it for everyday work, photo editing, and connecting extra displays.
Discounts on premium laptops could make high-performance portable computing more accessible to students, remote workers, and small businesses, though the benefit may be limited to those ready to buy during a narrow window. If holiday stock tightens, shoppers may face fewer choices or delayed delivery, while Amazon may gain attention and sales from early Black Friday promotions. Consumers who wait could miss the current price or find similar deals, depending on supply and demand.
