$1,099.99 gets buyers the 15-inch MacBook Air with Apple’s M5 chip, 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD — a record low and $200 below its $1,299.99 list price.
The discount leaves the larger model only about $200 above the 13-inch M5 Air, which recently slipped below $900, making the bigger screen a more compelling step-up.
That 15-inch version adds extra screen space, two more speakers and two more GPU cores, while keeping the same M5 performance, WiFi 7, Bluetooth 6 and 18-hour battery life.
The sale also addresses a key criticism in reviews that the M5 Air needed to be roughly $200 cheaper, even as the upgrade remains less compelling for recent M3 or M4 Air owners.

With a new budget MacBook out, is this record M5 Air discount a strategic illusion or the best deal for buyers?
Is Apple abandoning its premium-only laptop strategy with deep discounts and a new budget model?
