The Best Early Black Friday MacBook Air Deal: $200 Off
The M5 MacBook Air is currently available at a $200 discount, marking its lowest price since June. The author recommends the device for most users, noting that its performance remains highly competitive despite the existence of more expensive Pro models.
Why it matters
Provides actionable consumer advice for holiday shopping during a period of high tech hardware pricing.
This is the lowest price the MacBook Air has been at since June, when Apple permanently hiked prices across its entire Mac lineup. Amazon frequently sells this MacBook Air for $1,149, but this even lower price is usually reserved for big sales events—the last being in October during Prime Day. And now it's back.
I probably don't need to expound too much on what makes the M5 MacBook Air such a fantastic, do-it-all laptop. It's extremely well-built, the performance and battery life are both top-notch, and it's still one of the thinnest laptops you can buy. There's a reason it tops my list of laptop recommendations—even after having tested dozens of new models this year.
