It’s hard to find decent discounts on MacBooks these days, but we managed to find the MacBook Air M5 for $1,449 right now, well below its $1,599 MSRP. That’s the best price since Apple raised prices in June.
The MacBook Air is a great laptop choice because it’s thin, light, and has up to 18 hours of battery life. With such a long battery life, you can leave the charger at home without worrying: simply slip it into your bag and be on your way, which is ideal for students, remote workers, and anyone else who’s out and about.
The M5 chip is super snappy, with a fast CPU and enough RAM so you won’t get bored before your laptop switches between applications. Whether you’re writing emails, editing photos, or making video calls, this laptop will handle it all perfectly. Additionally, if you want to bill everything to Apple Intelligence, you can easily do so because the M5 chip is ready for it.
The 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display, supporting one billion colors, is a joy to look at, so photos and videos pop with rich contrast and sharp details, and text looks sharp during long reading sessions. When it comes to connectivity, you get two Thunderbolt 4 ports, a MagSafe charging port that’s easy to turn on and off, and a headphone jack. You can connect up to two external displays so you can create the setup of your dreams.
At $1,449, the MacBook Air M5 is an easy pick if you want a lightweight, durable laptop that you can drive all day without breaking a sweat.
