Apple's 13-inch MacBook Air with the M5 chip and 512GB of storage is on sale for $1,099 at Amazon, a $200 discount from its usual $1,299 price, as part of the retailer's October Prime Day event, according to The Verge.
The discount effectively offsets a price increase Apple made to the MacBook Air lineup earlier this year in June. The 15-inch version of the MacBook Air with the same 512GB storage configuration is also discounted in the sale, the report said.
Positioning in Apple's Lineup
The M5-equipped MacBook Air sits above Apple's lower-cost MacBook Neo, which starts at $699 and offers significantly less performance, according to the report. The price cut makes the M5 MacBook Air comparatively more attractive for buyers weighing the performance difference against cost.
Prime Day discounts on Apple hardware are not guaranteed to last, and prices on sale items can fluctuate throughout the promotional period. Shoppers interested in the deal should check current pricing before purchasing, as the report did not specify an end date for the discount.
