Save $200 Off the Latest 2026 MacBook Air With New Apple M5 Processor for Black Friday
Biggest price drop of the year.
For Black Friday, Apple has reduced the price of its newest MacBook Air to its lowest since a June 2026 price increase. The base model, featuring an M5 chip, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD, is now available for $1,099 with free shipping. This is the latest generation MacBook Air, released earlier this year. The deal saves users $200 off the original price.
The MacBook Air 13 M5, released on March 11, 2026, boasts a 13.6-inch 2560x1664 (224ppi) Retina display with P3 Wide Color and True Tone. It is powered by the M5 chip, which includes a 10-core CPU, 8-core GPU, and 16-core Neural Engine. The laptop comes equipped with 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. The MacBook Air is slim at 0.44 inches and weighs just 2.7 pounds, thanks to its unibody aluminum chassis.
Connectivity includes two Thunderbolt 4 (USB Type-C) ports for storage expansion or peripherals, and the device is equipped with Apple's new N1 networking chip, supporting Wi-Fi 7.
Although the MacBook Air offers significant value for its price, it still costs $1,299 from the Apple Store. However, purchasing it from Amazon provides the same 1-year Apple warranty, as Amazon is an authorized Apple reseller. Users can also extend this warranty with AppleCare.
