Amazon Prime Day Sale Discounts MacBook Air Models by $200
Amazon has reduced the price of the 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air models by $200 as part of its October Prime Day event. This marks the first significant price drop for these specific configurations in several months.
As part of its October Prime Day promotion, Amazon is currently offering a $200 discount on select MacBook Air models featuring the M5 chip. The 13-inch model, which typically retails for $1,299, is now available for $1,099 for the version equipped with 512GB of storage. Similarly, the 15-inch model with 512GB of storage has been reduced from its usual $1,499 price point to $1,299.
The 15-inch model includes hardware upgrades compared to the smaller version, specifically featuring two additional GPU cores and a six-speaker audio system. These discounts effectively reverse recent price adjustments made by Apple earlier this year. The Verge notes that these sale prices provide a more competitive alternative to Apple's entry-level $699 MacBook Neo, highlighting the performance gap between the two machines.
