Amazon’s October Prime Day promotions include a $200 discount on Apple’s MacBook Air with the M5 chip. Multiple outlets report the 13-inch model dropping to $1,099, with the same $200 markdown applying to the 15-inch version as well. The deal is described as a return to a prior price level after recent increases.
The Verge frames the discount as the first significant reduction in months, effectively offsetting Apple’s June price increases. It notes the configurations commonly included in the deal: M5 with 512GB storage for both the 13- and 15-inch models. Mashable similarly highlights the discount and emphasizes that it appears across several configurations during Prime Day.
Macworld adds that the M5 MacBook Air is back to what it describes as its original price for the event, again citing the $1,099 figure and characterizing the $200 cut as undoing the earlier price hike. Across coverage, the retailers and pricing details are consistent, with differences mainly in how outlets present the significance of the timing and value.
