Apple’s latest 15-inch MacBook Air, equipped with its custom M5 chip and a spacious 1TB SSD, has dropped by $249 at Amazon — bringing the price down to $1,549.99 just ahead of Black Friday. This configuration also includes 16GB of unified memory, placing it firmly in the premium ultrabook tier.
The deal is available now across all four colors — Midnight, Sky Blue, Silver, and Starlight — so you’re not locked into limited stock in just one finish. Meanwhile, the 13-inch version with the identical 16GB RAM + 1TB storage spec has also been discounted by $250, now priced at $1,349.99.
Other MacBook Air Price Drops
A few other configurations are also seeing markdowns. A 15-inch model with 16GB unified memory and 512GB storage is down to $1,299 (a $200 cut).
For those considering more power, there’s a 15-inch model with 24GB of unified memory and the 1TB drive, also reduced by $200. On the 13-inch side, there’s a 512GB model (16GB RAM) down to $1,099, and a beefier 24GB/1TB spec offered at $1,599.99.
Why This Price Drop Matters Now
These offers represent the lowest prices seen since Apple raised its base pricing for MacBook Air models in June 2026. That makes them especially notable for shoppers anticipating better deals during the Black Friday rush. Every configuration mentioned is in stock and ready to ship, avoiding last-minute headaches.
This sale highlights just how tight the post-price hike discount margins are for Apple gear. With these $200-$250 drops, consumers are seeing meaningful savings—but only if they act now. Stock tends to deplete fast as we approach major sales dates, and models with larger SSDs or upgraded memory often become scarce first.
