All four colors are on sale.<\/p>\n<p>The M5 Air launched just two months ago with a big storage upgrade over the M4 version: the base storage now starts at 512GB instead of 256GB, which means you don&#8217;t need to pay extra just to get a usable amount of space. The M5 chip itself brings a faster CPU and GPU over the M4, plus a next-generation Neural Engine for Apple Intelligence features.<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the package is the same thin, fanless design that has made the Air the best-selling Mac for years. You get a 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display, 16GB of unified memory, up to 18 hours of battery life, Wi-Fi 7, and a 12MP Center Stage camera \u2013 enough for most people to run through a full workday without thinking about performance or power.<\/p>\n<p>At $1,099, the M5 Air is a reasonable buy. At $900, it&#8217;s the one to get. Previous MacBook Air generations typically didn&#8217;t see discounts this deep until Prime Day or Black Friday, so this is earlier and steeper than usual for a model that&#8217;s only been out a few months.<\/p>\n<p>The 15-inch M5 MacBook Air is also at an all-time low right now, starting at $1,099 (down from $1,299) if you want more screen. Upgraded configurations with 16GB\/1TB and 24GB\/1TB are discounted as well, though at smaller percentages.<\/p>\n<p> GET THE 13-inch M5 MacBook\u00a0DEAL ON AMAZON <\/p>\n<p> GET THE 15-inch M5 MacBook DEAL ON AMAZON <\/p>\n<p>[Image credit: Apple]<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techlicious.com\/blog\/m5-macbook-air-deal-lowest-price-amazon\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The M5 MacBook Air is $199 off \u2013 and starts with 512GB of storage https:\/\/www.techlicious.com\/blog\/m5-macbook-air-deal-lowest-price-amazon\/&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":257063,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.techlicious.com\/images\/computers\/apple-m5-macbook-air-1200px.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[50],"class_list":["post-257062","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-macintosh","tag-macbook-air"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/257062"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=257062"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/257062\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":257064,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/257062\/revisions\/257064"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/257063"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=257062"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=257062"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=257062"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
