Apple's new MacBook Airs, powered by the new M5 chip, are more powerful than ever with double the base storage (512GB), but they also cost $100 more than their predecessor. Best Buy is selling the new 13-inch M5-powered MacBook Air for $1,099 with a $50 gift card, and the 15-inch for $ 1,299 with the same perk. Amazon is also selling the M4 MacBook Air with 512GB of storage and 16GB of RAM for an all-time low of $1.099, matching the price of the new MacBook. The biggest differences between the two models largely come down to connectivity, with the newer models supporting faster wireless standards like Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.
