SAVE $150<\/strong>: As of May 7, the Apple MacBook Air (M5, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) is back on sale for just $949 at Amazon. That’s $150 off its list price of $1,099 and its lowest price on record.<\/p>\n

When Mashable Tech Editor Tim Beck Werth tested Apple’s newest MacBook Air, he called it a “near-perfect machine” that’s “too powerful for its own good.” It’s extremely similar to the M4 Air, but now packs Apple’s M5 silicon and comes with a steeper starting price of $1,099. “For $899, or even $949, I’d find this laptop irresistible,” Werth writes in his review.<\/p>\n

I’m pleased to announce that his wish has been granted, as the 13-inch Apple M5 MacBook Air is now just $949 at Amazon. As of May 7, you’ll save 14% or $150 on the base model with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of solid-state storage. That’s also its lowest price on record, which it’s reached just once before.<\/p>\n
