Just after seeing Amazon deliver its new all-time low and the very best price we have tracked on the base model 15-inch M5 MacBook Air at $199 off, it is now starting to bring back the deals on the most affordable 13-inch model from $949 as well.
Amazon is now offering the 13-inch M5 MacBook Air at $949 shipped. This is the entry point to the new 2026 M5 MacBook Air lineup that carries a $1,099 list price sitting at $150 off what you’ll pay at Apple and elsewhere.
While not all of the color options have dropped back down (yet), we are expecting to see the 13-inch lineup return to all-time low pricing at Amazon between now and Memorial Day proper on Monday.
Yesterday we saw it delivering new all-time low pricing on the entry 15-inch model and the very best deal we have tracked there on the new M5 Air lineup at $199 off – select colors are still live right now at this particularly notable price:
- 15-inch M5 MacBook Air 16GB/512GB from $1,100 (Reg. $1,299) – Amazon all-time low
- 15-inch M5 MacBook Air 16GB/1TB from $1,349 (Reg. $1,499)
- 15-inch M5 MacBook Air 24GB/1TB from $1,549 (Reg. $1,699)
Whether or not we see Amazon drop the more affordable 13-inch models down into the nearly $200 off range remains to be seen, but it is, at the very least, a little more unlikely than the 15-inchers. The more expensive price tag on the larger model is seemingly giving retailers a little bit more wiggle room for deeper deals – this has been the case over the last month where we have seen special offers on the 15-inch models from time-to-time that have largely not been available on the 13-inchers.
Nonetheless, the best deals we have tracked to date on the lineup are returning ahead of Memorial Day weekend, making now a wonderful chance to upgrade to Apple’s latest, most accessible, and likely most suitable M5-powered machine for most folks.
