Save $200 Off the 2026 MacBook Air With New Apple M5 Chip During the Amazon October Prime Day Sale

During the Amazon October Prime Day Sale, Apple's latest MacBook Air is available at its lowest price since a June 2026 price increase. The base model, featuring the new M5 chip, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD, is now priced at just $1,099 with free shipping. This is the newest generation MacBook Air released earlier this year.

Priced at $200 less than its regular price, this MacBook Air model boasts a 13.6-inch Retina display with P3 Wide Color and True Tone, an M5 chip with a 10-core CPU, 8-core GPU, and 16-core Neural Engine, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. Weighing just 2.7 pounds and measuring 0.44 inches thin, the MacBook Air is lightweight and compact, all thanks to its unibody aluminum construction.

The MacBook Air comes with two Thunderbolt 4 (USB Type-C) ports for high-speed storage expansion or peripherals, and it's equipped with Apple's new N1 networking chip, providing Wi-Fi 7 support. Although it shares many features with the MacBook Air, the current price on the Apple Store is $1,299, making the Amazon deal even more appealing.

With an identical set of specs, this Amazon deal offers the best value, making it the ideal MacBook to purchase for most people. The laptop comes with a one-year Apple warranty, as Amazon is an authorized Apple reseller, and customers can extend their warranty with AppleCare if desired.
