Apple’s high-end 13-inch MacBook Air powered by the M5 chip is seeing its deepest discount yet: the top-RAM configuration has fallen to $1,549 at B&H Photo. That price applies to the version with 32 GB RAM and 512 GB storage, paired with the 10-core GPU – the maximum RAM option available for the M5 Air line. Sky Blue and Silver color options are included, and U.S. buyers in the contiguous states also get free 2-day shipping.
Other MacBook Air Configuration Deals
If the 32-GB upgrade doesn’t appeal, there are several other solid deals across the 13-inch Air lineup. You’ll find the base M5 (8-core GPU, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB storage) marked down to around $1,239, while the 10-core GPU with 16 GB RAM and 1 TB storage dips to $1,499. Stepping up, the 10-core GPU with 24 GB RAM and 1 TB is at about $1,699. Meanwhile, the top-tier Air with 32 GB RAM and 2 TB storage is discounted to approximately $2,349. The 15-inch M5 Airs are seeing cuts too: the 16 GB/512 GB model is now about $1,429; the 16 GB/1 TB configuration falls near $1,699; and a 24 GB/1 TB example is approximately $1,899.
According to pricing guides, the $1,549 price point for the 32-GB/512 GB M5 Air marks the lowest we’ve seen yet for that specific setup, making it a noteworthy drop for anyone eyeing Apple’s more powerful ultraportable. The sale is listed as limited time, so it may vanish soon.
Why This Deal Matters
The MacBook Air lineup has leaned heavily into the lightweight and efficient side of things, even in its highest spec levels. M5-series chips deliver strong performance improvements over earlier models, especially for CPUs, and the bumped-up GPU cores help with graphics-intensive tasks. Yet RAM has often been the fixed floor for power users. Getting 32 GB RAM in an Air has typically meant paying for the privilege – until now. This deal lets heavier users who work with large files, run virtual machines, or push intensive multitasking get into the Air line without breaching the price of a Pro model.
Free 2-day shipping adds a practical bonus in timing: if you act quickly, you could have this laptop by the start of your week. And color options like Sky Blue and Silver give you a chance to pick something visually distinct without overpaying.
For perspective, AppleInsider’s price tracker confirms this is the lowest ever listed for this spec. Lowering the cost of high-end configurations starts to blur the gap between the Air and lower-tier MacBook Pro models, particularly for users who value portability but still need serious RAM headroom.
This kind of discount could shift buying behavior: expect that those waiting for new models may be tempted, and resale prices on earlier MacBook Air versions could drop. If supply tightens, these deals may disappear fast. Buyers should weigh how urgently they need the extra RAM versus waiting for whatever MacBook refresh Apple might have in store. Watch for B&H stock and sales expiration, because once a sale ends, prices often snap back before long.
