The latest M5 Macbook Air is down to the lowest price we've seen since Apple's price hike
↗
The 13-inch M5 MacBook Air is available at a temporary discount, marking the lowest price since Apple raised its official store prices.
For engineers who standardize on Apple hardware, this is a rare window to lock in pre-hike pricing. The discount is modest but may offset some of the recent component-driven cost increases. If you were already budgeting for a new machine, the timing could reduce capital outlay without changing specifications.

Amazon is selling the 13-inch M5 MacBook Air for $1,134, $65 below Apple’s current list price.
The discount reflects a short-term reprieve from Apple’s June price increase, not a permanent reduction.
Component shortages driven by AI infrastructure demand are cited as the root cause of the higher baseline costs.
