Deals on the new M5 MacBook Air are rolling this week as the entry model is now at its best price in most colors alongside $150 price drops across the entire lineup. But, while most of the M4 clearance deals have dried up now, this 15-inch 16GB/512GB model popped up this morning at nearly $400 off its original list price.
Amazon is now offering this 15-inch M4 MacBook Air with 16GB of RAM and the 512GB storage capacity down at $999.97 shipped.
This model launched at $1,399 and is now $399 off the original list price.
While Apple has, in fact, effectively lowered the price on the upgraded storage tiers on the new M5 lineup, this is still a notable discount. The 16GB/512GB 15-inch M5 carries a $1,299 list price and it is currently down to an Amazon all-time low at $1,149.
To put that in perspective, today’s clearance deal is $399 off the its original list price, as well as coming in at $299 less than the MSRP and $149 less than the current deal price on the most comparable M5 MacBook Air:
- 15-inch M4 MacBook Air 16GB/512GB $1,000 (Orig. $1,399)
- 15-inch M5 MacBook Air 16GB/512GB $1,149 (Reg. $1,299)
The M5 chip is certainly better, faster, and newer, and there are some other enhancements on the new M5 machines, but they do look essentially identical and if you don’t need the latest, this is a solid clearance deal for a 15-inch 16GB/512GB model that released last year.
