Most affordable 13-inch M5 MacBook Air back at $1,099 in 3 colors via official Apple refurb store ($200 off)

$200 off/$1,099

The official Apple refurb store has been a wonderful source of savings as price hikes on the current MacBook lineup hit retail. Stock on the most affordable configurations across the Pro and M5 MacBook Air lineup comes and goes quite quickly though, and this morning we are tracking three colors of the least expensive 13-inch M5 MacBook Air at the ready down at $1,099 – that’s $200 off the list price. 

The official Apple Certified Refurbished Store is now offering the 13-inch M5 MacBook Air with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage down at $1,099 shipped. This deal is live (at the time of writing) on the Midnight, Starlight, and Sky Blue models. 

These machines ship with the following:

• Apple’s one-year limited warranty
• Apple’s 14-day returns policy
• AppleCare eligibility
• Apple’s Rigorous refurbishment process prior to sale

You’re looking at the least pricey M5 MacBook Air configuration here that carries a $1,299 list price in new condition. Today’s Apple refurb offer is $200 off the new sticker price and the best deal we can find on the most accessible model in the current-generation lineup. 

• 13-inch M5 MacBook Air 16GB/512GB $1,099 (Reg. $1,299 new)
• Midnight, Starlight, and Sky Blue

This is the Apple refurb store and quite possibly the best quality refurbished MacBook Air units you can buy, but how does this stack up against the new prices at retail right now? 

Amazon is charging nearly full sticker price on this configuration right now with the silver model slightly below that at $1,240. While there was a time this machine sold for less than this, we are yet to see it dip below $1,149 in new condition at Amazon since the price hike, and even that was a very short-lived offer roughly a month ago.
