Amazon is selling the 2026 MacBook Air with Apple's M5 chip at $1,099 for the 16GB/512GB model, $200 below Apple's current price. The 16GB/1TB and 24GB/1TB configurations are also discounted by $200, to $1,399 and $1,599 respectively. These prices match discounts seen during this week's Prime Day sale and remain live across all available colorways.
Amazon’s fall Prime Day event concluded on October 7, but shoppers can still access a selection of discounted products, including flagship smartphones and laptops. The sale featured notable deals like the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra at $950 and the MacBook Air M5 at its lowest price since June, with verified discounts based on thorough price tracking. These offers are part of Amazon’s effort to clear inventory and attract consumers even after the official event ended.
Amazon's fall Prime Day event, also called Big Deal Days 2026, began October 6 and ends at midnight today, open only to Amazon Prime members. WIRED staff compiled a list of recommended discounts, including a Sonos Arc Ultra soundbar marked down from $1,099 to $899 and a discounted MacBook Air M5, based on products they say they have personally tested.
Amazon has discounted several recent Apple Mac models as part of its fall Prime Day sale, including up to $149 off the new M6 Mac mini and $199 off the 2026 Mac Studio with 36GB RAM, both described as all-time lows. The retailer is also offering roughly $200 off most M5 MacBook Air configurations, $500 off a 14-inch M5 Pro MacBook Pro with 2TB storage, and rare discounts on Apple's Magic Mouse and its new all-glyph Magic Keyboard.
Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days event is offering $200 off the latest MacBook Air (M5), bringing the 512GB/16GB configuration to $1,099, the lowest price since June. The discount applies to all MacBook Air configurations sold on Amazon, including the 15-inch model. Microsoft's 2026 Surface Laptop 13.8-inch is also discounted 25%, to $1,280 from $1,700, its best price since launch.
Amazon's fall Prime Day sale has launched with AirPods Pro 3 at $179 (down from $249) and AirPods Max 2 at $429, a $120 discount. The sale also includes record-low pricing on several Apple Watch Series 12 models, up to $150 off the new M6 Mac mini lineup, $200 off the Mac Studio, and $200 off M5 MacBook Air models.
During Prime Day, the MacBook Air saw its most affordable price point since June, though it remains higher than the discounts seen in early 2026. Other MacBook models, such as the MacBook Neo and MacBook Pro, are either on minimal or no significant discounts, with the latter expected to be replaced later this year by an OLED touchscreen version. Experts suggest the M5 MacBook Air is the best choice for buyers seeking a deal at this time.
Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days event has started and runs until early Thursday morning, offering significant discounts on a wide range of electronics, including headphones, home entertainment devices, Pixel 11 phones, iPad Mini with A17 Pro chip, and the M5 MacBook Air. The deals are now organized in a sortable table for easier browsing, with additional deals and category roundups to follow.
Amazon has begun discounting Apple's latest Mac lineup ahead of fall Prime Day, with the new M6 Mac mini seeing cuts of nearly $150 to reach all-time lows and the 2026 Mac Studio dropping $199. M5 MacBook Air models are seeing roughly $200 discounts across configurations, while a 14-inch M5 Pro MacBook Pro with 2TB storage is down $500 to $2,699.
Apple's $900 Mac mini ships with its latest M6 processor, offering far more power than most everyday apps need, though its base 256GB storage can fill up quickly. Cheaper MacBooks exist, like the Neo, but they compromise with only 8GB of RAM and an A18 Pro chip borrowed from the iPhone 16 Pro, while the $1,100 MacBook Air still uses the older M5 chip with 16GB of RAM.
A weekend Apple deals roundup lists AirPods Pro 3 at $179 (down from $249), a $200 discount on the M5 MacBook Air, and a $500 price cut on a 2TB M5 Pro MacBook Pro.
