Save $150 on the 15-inch Apple MacBook Air M5 in this rare deal
Amazon and Best Buy have a 15-inch Apple MacBook Air (M5) on sale for just $1,649 as of Sept. 9. That's a rare $150 savings.
Amazon and Best Buy are offering a rare discount on the 15-inch Apple MacBook Air M5 with 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD, priced at $1,649. This deal represents an 8% reduction from its usual retail price of $1,799 and a $50 improvement over their Labor Day offer. The deal is particularly notable as it is the lowest price for the model since a $200 price increase in late June, coinciding with Apple's recent price hikes.
The 15-inch MacBook Air, Apple's most popular laptop, has experienced shortages in recent months, contributing to the scarcity of good deals. Retailers typically only offer substantial discounts during their holiday sales, making this particular offer surprising. Notably, the deal outperforms Apple's $100 education discount as well.
The MacBook Air is praised for its fast, versatile performance, lightweight design, and future-proofing capabilities. While it may be a good value even after the price bump, waiting for a better deal is always an option.
