  "account": "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.\n\nThe 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.\n\nAlthough 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.
