Apple’s 15-inch MacBook Air powered by the M5 chip with 24 GB of unified memory just hit a fresh low price of $1,499 after discounts at B&H. That’s a $200 drop off the regular price for this spec combo—which includes the 10-core GPU and a 512 GB SSD in Midnight finish.
What deals are live now
The deal covers the 15-inch model with 24 GB RAM, 10 GPU cores, and 512 GB storage—but there are compelling discounts for other setups too. The base 15-inch (16 GB RAM) with same storage is $1,349 (down $150); the 1 TB models range from ~$1,649 to $1,699 depending on RAM; and the top config with 32 GB RAM and 2 TB is about $2,499 after ~$200 off. Even 13-inch variants are seeing deals: 16-GB, 512-GB starts near $1,149, and the 10-core GPU with 24 GB RAM in 13-inch hits ~$1,599.
Why this matters
The MacBook Air M5 series remains Apple’s premium ultraportable line, offering new chip performance, cool fanless design, and a strong feature set. With such RAM—24 GB—it becomes even more capable for heavier workloads than entry-tier models. These kinds of price drops suggest resellers are pushing inventory ahead of possible upcoming Mac refreshes.
Still, even at $1,499, the 15-inch version with 24 GB RAM is an upgrade most buyers will value if they prioritize screen real estate, multitasking, or creative tools that benefit from extra memory. For general use, lower RAM configs may be enough. Always double-check that Midnight finish and model details match expectations when buying.
What to watch next: With Apple likely to update its MacBook Air line at some point, these deals may not last. If new models appear, current ones may see even steeper discounts—so buyers weighing long-term value should keep an eye on Apple’s announcements and refurb/third-party offers. This drop shows how far the resale market and authorized resellers will go to free up stock, meaning right now may be one of the best times to jump in.
