$899.99 buys the 13-inch MacBook Air M5 at Amazon, a $200 discount that marks a new low price ahead of Memorial Day.
The 15-inch model is also cut by $200 to $1,099.99 at Amazon in select colors, while Best Buy lists it at $1,149.
Apple pairs the M5 chip with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, and the 2026 model doubles base storage while delivering read and write speeds close to the M5 MacBook Pro.
The retailer pitch centers on mainstream buyers: the Air handles everyday multitasking and light video editing, lasts about 13 hours, and adds a 12-megapixel Center Stage webcam in a slim, lightweight design.

How will the M5 chip's AI capabilities actually change your daily experience on the new MacBook Air?
