Apple just raised the prices on Macs and iPads in response to the rising costs of memory chips, right in the middle of Amazon Prime Day. That means existing discounts (even small ones) on Apple laptops like the MacBook Neo, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro just became significantly better deals.<\/p>\n

As an example, the 13-inch MacBook Air M5 that used to start at $1,099 and is currently on sale for $949.99 (at Costco) will soon carry a full retail price of $1,299. That initial $150 discount just became a savings of $350 compared to Apple\u2019s upcoming pricing.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no guarantee how long existing sales will stick around, and no official word on when major laptop retailers will reset all their Mac pricing to reflect the increases. Best Buy and B&H Photo have already updated their pricing, but some older prices or even cheaper deals are lingering at Amazon. Costco lists its member-only deals as valid through June 26th or 27th.<\/p>\n

If you were considering an Apple computer purchase, it might be best to make a move while you can. We\u2019re outlining all the deals we can find below.<\/p>\n

The base 256GB MacBook Neo<\/strong> is selling for $589.99 at Amazon and Costco (in the citrus color only). Normally that\u2019d be a paltry $10 discount, but with Apple raising the Neo\u2019s base price to $699 it\u2019s now a savings of $110. The 512GB version with Touch ID<\/strong> is $689.99 (a $110 discount compared to the new price) at Amazon and Costco. Best Buy still has the base 256GB model and 512GB model for the old prices of $599 and $699, respectively. That at least saves you the $100 price increase for now.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

$950<\/span><\/p>\n

Apple\u2019s 2026 MacBook Air has an M5 chip and starts with 512GB of storage that\u2019s significantly faster than previous generations. It\u2019s still as excellent as ever despite a higher base price. Read our review.<\/p>\n
