Apple's MacBook Air M5, introduced a month ago, is now being sold for $949, a significant discount of $150 off its regular retail price. This comes after Apple's introduction of the $599 MacBook Neo, a new entry-level laptop that Apple hasn't attempted in decades, stole the MacBook Air's 20-year reign as Apple's entry-levels. The MacBook Neo is a cheaper entry point into the Mac ecosystem if your needs are primarily lightweight tasks. However, the Mac M5 is more capable than the Neo's A-series chip for heavier-duty tasks.
