During Prime Day 2026, Amazon is offering discounts of up to $250 across the MacBook Air and Pro lineups, with the 13-inch M5 MacBook Air base configuration on sale for $949, which is 14% off its regular $1,099 sticker price. The article notes that Apple is on the verge of sweeping price hikes due to a global RAM shortage, and that most configurations are still a ways away from their lowest prices on record—for instance, the M5 MacBook Airs are $150 off now, but were $200 off last month around Memorial Day. One kitted-out MacBook Pro has gotten $50 cheaper since Prime Day 2026 started. The article also recommends checking competing retailers' anti-Prime Day sales, such as Best Buy's Tech Fest, which features deals on older refurbished MacBooks.
