Midnight 24GB M5 MacBook Air with 1TB storage hits Amazon low at $150 off, more

If you’re looking to buy Apple’s latest M5 MacBook Air in the early part of the year, there has never been a better time than now. The entry and most affordable 16GB models are now sitting at all-time lows from $949 and we are also now tracking several of the 24GB/1TB models dropping a touch lower with $150 in savings for folks who need more power/storage.

Amazon is now offering its best price to date on the 13-inch M5 MacBook Air with 24GB of RAM and the 1TB of storage at $1,349 shipped. Regularly $1,499, this is a straight up $150 in savings on the Midnight and Sky Blue models, while the Silver and Starlight variants are at $149 off.

We have already detailed the ongoing 14-inch discounts at $150 off, but those of you looking for more Liquid Retina XDR display real estate, the 16-inch models are now up to $199 off at Amazon.
