Apple's 2026 MacBook Air has received its largest discount yet since its release, dropping its price from $1,099 down to $949. The price change is attributed to the introduction of the M5 chip, which has a significant performance boost over the previous year's M4. The laptop also comes with 16GB of memory and a 512GB SSD, and a 13.6-inch display. The battery life remains the same as the 2025 model, capable of lasting 18 hours of use. The product also features a four-speaker sound system and a three-microphone array. The discount applies across all color options.
