Di Benedetto / The Verge The latest 13-inch MacBook Air is currently available for $1,099.99, marking the second time we’ve seen this $200 discount following the company’s hefty price increases over the summer . Although the base model — which features Apple’s M5 processor, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage — often sold for around $950 to $1,000 shortly after it launched in May, savings have been rare since July, making the current deal worth flagging. Amazon , Best Buy , and B&H Photo are all honoring the price across all color options. If you’d prefer something with a larger screen, a six-speaker array instead of four, and slightly more power (with two additional GPU cores in the M5), Apple’s 15-inch MacBook Air is also on sale for $200 off.
