This will sell out: Massive deal has Slate Titanium Apple Watch Series 10 GPS + Cell w/ Milanese Loop at $429 off orig. price
Amazon now offering nearly $50 off entire M5 MacBook Air lineup for launch week
Alongside the first cash discounts on the new M5 Pro MacBook Pro, Amazon has also now slashed the price on the M5 MacBook Air as well. While there are some seriously deep deals live on the M4 MacBook Air right now, those looking towards the band new machine will want to take their business to Amazon right now as it has dropped the price on all models by nearly $50.
M5 MacBook Air launch deals:
13-inch M5 MacBook Air 16GB/512GB
$1,050(Reg. $1,099) - 13-inch M5 MacBook Air 16GB/1TB
$1,250(Reg. $1,299) - 13-inch M5 MacBook Air 24GB/1TB

$1,450(Reg. $1,499) - 15-inch M5 MacBook Air 24GB/1TB
$1,650(Reg. $1,699)
While not the most massive discounts, we are talking about nearly $50 in savings here and the lowest prices we can find.
Much like the M5 Pro machines that just released, Best Buy is offering $50 store credits to its paid Plus and Total members purchasing the new M5 MacBook Air as well. Whether or not that is more valuable to you than the straight cash deals at Amazon is, well, up to you. But in this case, I would take the lower price today.
As mentioned above, there are some seriously deep discounts on the M4 for folks who just don’t care about the new M5 upgrade:
13-inch M4 MacBook Air 24GB/512GB
$1,199(Reg. $1,399) - 15-inch M4 MacBook Air 16GB/512GB
– Amazon all-time low$1,079(Reg. $1,399) - 15-inch M4 MacBook Air 24GB/512GB
– Amazon all-time low$1,299(Reg. $1,599)
M5 MacBook Air now $50 off, but this Midnight 16GB/512GB M4 just hit the Amazon all-time low at $320 off
The new M5 MacBook Air is now out in the wild and we spotted some $50 price drops across the entire lineup this morning at Amazon, but we also just spotted this M4 MacBook Air hitting its best Amazon price ever at $320 off the list price.
Amazon is now offering the Midnight 15-inch M4 MacBook Air 16GB/512GB at the $1,079 all-time low.
This model launched with a $1,399 list price in 2025 and is now $320 off for the lowest we have tracked at Amazon. This deal is (likely) in response to the offer we featured courtesy of B&H where it is sitting at the same price.
Today’s deal is $20 under our previous mention on this model as Amazon began to clear out the 15-inch M4 MacBook Air models to make room for the new M5 machines:

– Amazon all-time low~~$1,099~~$1,079(Reg. $1,399) - 15-inch M4 MacBook Air 24GB/512GB
Here’s a look at the launch week discounts on the new M5 MacBook Air lineup for comparison’s sake:
While the MSRP on the comparable M5 machine with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage has now dropped $100 to $1,299, and you can score this model down at $!,250 right now on Amazon, the M4 is still at quite a wild price right now. It is still $250 less than the M5 and, if you ask me, still a very capable machine that will deliver more or less the exact same experience for most users.
Amazon delivers first cash discounts on brand new M5 Pro MacBook Pro at $50 off
We have detailed some notable $200 price drops on the M5 MacBook Pro already this morning with deals starting from $399, but the first cash discounts have arrived on the brand new
2026 M5 Pro modelsnow as well. Amazon is offering
on the new pro-grade machine, while Best Buy is up at full price but with a
$50cash discounts.
$100store credit attachedAmazon is now offering nearly $50 off the three M5 Pro configurations it offers:
14-inch M5 Pro MacBook Pro 24GB/1TB
$2,149(Reg. $2,199) - 14-inch M5 Pro MacBook Pro 24GB/2TB
$2,549(Reg. $2,599) - 14-inch M5 Pro MacBook Pro 24GB/2TB | 20-Core

$2,649(Reg. $2,699) - 16-inch M5 Pro MacBook Pro 48GB/2TB
$3,049(Reg. $3,099)
Best Buy on the other hand is serving up a $100 store credit, but this is only available to paid Best Buy Plus and Total members:
M5 Pro MacBook Pro
from$2,199 - M5 Max MacBook Pro
from$3,599 - Plus and Total members get a
$100 bonus rewardwith MacBook Pro (M5 Pro) or MacBook Pro (M5 Max) purchase.
Which is a better deal? Well, if you are a Plus or Total member at Best Buy you do any a couple options here. I might rather just holster the $100 credit as that can do some serious damage on future releases or less pricey gear (or anything else), but I’m also not a paid Best Buy member, so the $50 off is where I would be looking. Either way, there are some options here for release week if you’re looking to land one of the Apple’s brand new M5 Pro machines in the early days.
This 32GB M5 MacBook Pro config is $300 less than the model Amazon sells, deals from $1,399
Apple’s all-new M5 Pro MacBooks have now arrived, and we have uncovered a $100 bonus reward credit on those at Best Buy. But for those looking towards the much more affordable M5 MacBook Pro, the deals are flying this week with the most affordable configuration now $200 off its original list price at Amazon alongside the
1TB model, and we just spotted a

Amazon just dropped AirTag to its best price ever at under $14 Prime shipped
The new AirTag 2 is out and you can score one for $29 right now, but Amazon just dropped the previous-generation AirTag down to its best price ever at $13.91 Prime shipped.
This deal might not last for long – Amazon is now offering the single AirTag listing down at $13.91 with free shipping for Prime members or in orders over $35. Originally $29 – the same as AirTag 2 – you’re looking at a 52% price drop from the original sticker price here.
This is also the lowest price we have ever tracked on Amazon for a single AirTag 1. Previous to today, it has never dropped below $17 for a single.
It has also brought back one of the best prices to date on the 4-pack of first-generation AirTags at $64, or $16 a pop. But at $13.91 for the single right now, you could just buy four of these for less if you wanted to.
Updating…
Apple’s latest blue Trail Loop is now nearly 40% off at Amazon (medium size, Natural finish)
This morning we spotted a solid 35%
price drop on Apple’s latest Ocean Bandin Anchor Blue, and now Amazon has dropped the Blue/Bright Blue Trail Loop down to one of its
lowest prices at just over.
$61 shippedLast time around we spotted a deal on the medium/large size model, but today Amazon has slashed the price on the small/medium blue Trail Loop down to $61.39 shipped.
Regularly $99, this is nearly 40% off (38% to be exact) and the lowest price we can find anywhere. We did see this model quickly drop to $56 previously before jumping back to full price shortly thereafter, but it is now within roughly $5 of the best ever – today’s deal is the second-lowest price we have ever tracked on this model at Amazon or otherwise.
