This M5 MacBook Air Discount Has Renewed My Faith in Cheap Laptops for 2026
"The M5 MacBook Air has dropped back down to $949, which is $150 off its retail price. It's only been at this price one other time since the product launched in early March and has more consistently sold for $1,049."
"The Surface Laptop has gotten an official price hike due to the RAM shortage and is currently sitting at $1,200. It's still a laptop I like quite a lot, but at $350 more than a similarly-configured M5 MacBook Air, it's very difficult to recommend."
"At this reduced price for the M5 MacBook Air of $949, that leaves only a dangerously small $260 gap between the Neo and the Air. It's almost embarrassing how much better than the Air is by comparison-in every way imaginable."
The M5 MacBook Air is now available for $949, a $150 discount from its retail price. This price is rare since its launch in March. The Surface Laptop 7th Edition has increased in price to $1,200 due to RAM shortages, making it less competitive. The MacBook Neo, while cheaper, has minimal price flexibility and only offers a $10 discount from its full price. The M5 MacBook Air stands out as the best deal among these options, offering superior value.
