We tracked down the top early October Prime Day MacBook deals: MacBook Air deals are now live

As early October Prime Day approaches, Apple's MacBook deals are starting to materialize. The best MacBook Air deal available presently is the 13-inch model with M5 chip, 16GB RAM, and 1TB SSD, priced at $1,399 – a $200 discount. This deal is available exclusively for Amazon Prime members during the upcoming Prime Big Deal Days, which commence on October 6 and 7.

However, Prime Day's significance extends beyond just Amazon. It marks the unofficial start of the holiday shopping season for many retailers. Last year, Amazon's Prime Day brought about significant savings, including $200 off the MacBook Air and up to $400 off certain MacBook Pro models, similar to the deals observed on Black Friday 2025.

Amazon has already initiated the $200 discounts across all MacBook Air models in anticipation of the main event. Despite most MacBooks being on sale leading up to Prime Big Deal Days, including the more affordable MacBook Neo (with a $10 reduction), some models might experience further price reductions once the sale officially begins.

Among the current best Prime Day deals, the MacBook Air stands out. Apple's official listing confirms the discounted price of the MacBook Air, M5, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD configuration at $1,399, representing a $200 saving.
