Amazon’s Prime Day sale has brought the price of Apple’s MacBook Air with the M5 chip down to $200 less than its usual June price. The 13-inch model that was originally $1,299 is now available for $1,099, while the 15-inch version, which also comes with 512GB of storage, is priced at $1,299 instead of $1,499. This price drop makes the MacBook Air with the M5 chip a more attractive option compared to Apple’s $699 MacBook Neo, which offers less processing power.
The larger 15-inch MacBook Air also features an upgraded audio system, doubling the number of speakers to six, and adding two extra GPU cores to enhance graphical performance. Despite these enhancements, the MacBook Air with the M5 chip maintains its reputation for delivering a top-notch user experience, despite the higher starting price.
Apple’s latest iteration of the midrange laptop boasts a faster processor and storage, contributing to an overall improvement in speed. Even without any groundbreaking new features, the MacBook Air with the M5 chip remains a favorite among users, thanks to its exceptional battery life, vibrant display, and impressive speakers.
