The latest 13-inch MacBook Air is currently available for $1,099.99, marking the second time we\u2019ve seen this $200 discount following the company\u2019s hefty price increases over the summer. Although the base model \u2014 which features Apple\u2019s M5 processor, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage \u2014 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.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019d 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\u2019s 15-inch MacBook Air is also on sale for $200 off. Amazon, Best Buy, and B&H Photo are each selling the 16GB RAM \/ 512GB SSD configuration in most colors for $1,299.99.

Although it\u2019s pricier than the newer MacBook Neo, the Air offers better value in numerous ways. It\u2019s an ideal choice if you want faster performance, as it offers double the RAM and a speedier CPU with more cores. You also get twice as much storage, better speakers, a backlit keyboard, and a larger, higher-resolution screen. Given said differences, it\u2019s easy to see how the Air\u2019s improvements might make it worth the extra cost for some people.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re still on the fence, though, I\u2019d recommend reading my colleague Antonio G. Di Benedetto\u2019s reviews, both of which were published before the summer price increases.<\/p>\n
