But we still think you should carefully consider this deal, because prices are seemingly on the rise.<\/p>\n<p>As of May 16, the 13-inch MacBook Air M5 is on sale for $999 at Amazon. That&#8217;s a $100 discount on the list price.<\/p>\n<p>This $999 deal is now only available for the midnight and sky blue models. How long will these colorways stay at this discounted price? We can&#8217;t say for sure, but we wouldn&#8217;t be surprised to see prices climb ahead of Prime Day. We&#8217;re not accusing Amazon of sneakily raising prices so that Prime Day deals look better. We would never do that.<\/p>\n<p>        <span class=\"font-bold text-primary-400\">SEE ALSO:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>            <span class=\"ml-1\">T-Mobile just dropped the Apple iPhone 17 for free \u2014 how to claim<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The MacBook Air M5 is a portable laptop that delivers heaps of power.
