Go to Apple.com, scroll to bottom, click on "shop for college". You'll get the M5 15inch air for $1199. No verification or anything required it might as well be the official price.
Why wouldn't anyone pay $100 extra for the M5 chip that has 40% higher GPU score than the M4, and double the SSD/memory speeds? Retarded people like to find excuses for their bad purchase choices rather than get smart. The reality is if they were cost conscious, they'd bought during BF when Amazon had 20% off warehouse deals when you could've gotten a 216GB 15inch Air in Like New for about $760.
Basically this is a terrible deal. If this was $999 I might give it a second thought.

The performance difference between the M5 and M4 is roughly 15-20%. Assuming a 15% difference, M4 should be $1,105 ($1,300 less 15%). Since the M4 is last year's model, and if apply a modest 10% depreciation, that brings the M4's value to $995. In my opinion, A truly good deal requires at least an additional 10% discount, making the net price $895. This one not looking too good mathematically.

The 15 inch MacBook Air with M4, 16GB RAM, and 512GB SSD is framed as a solid configuration for heavier everyday work, especially editing and other memory hungry tasks. The extra RAM is the main draw here, and the 512GB storage keeps it more practical than lower tier builds. The main hesitation is price, since similar M5 or refurbished options are cited for less or only slightly more, including Costco, Apple refurbished, and Apple education pricing. It reads like a capable setup, but not the sharpest value if you can wait or shop around.

  • people who specifically need a 15-inch MacBook Air with 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD because they're doing heavier editing work (like Instacam X5 360 editing) and want Apple performance without dropping below 16GB.

  • buyers who don't actually need that much RAM because commenters say to save your money if you don't need that much ram.

    livingaboard

  • people trying to get the best value on the newest chip for the same configuration because commenters argue the deal isn't compelling versus other promotions and that you'd be better off paying for the M5 (or waiting for a lower target price).

    ranrise

  • Costco members who want the lowest local price because commenters report seeing the same model at Costco for $999.97 (and a 256GB version for $1199.97).

    Surfer5

  • shoppers who are cost-conscious and doing the math on performance-per-dollar because commenters estimate the M4 price would need an additional ~10% discount to be a truly good deal, calling this one not looking too good mathematically.

    PowerfulPocket930

  • buyers who are open to Apple refurbished options because commenters say there's not much of a reason to get this deal when Apple refurb can be much cheaper (including a 15-inch around ~$930 with 256GB and a 13-inch M4 around ~$760).

frankly not much of a reason to get this deal. get the m5 one for $100 more on apple.com or cheaper at microcenter if you're near one, or get a refurb one from apple.com. 15 inch for 930 (256gb, less than this post) or if you're patient enough to wait for a better deal, the 13 inch m4 for 760 comes in stock occasionally but sells out fast. i was lucky enough to get one and you can't even tell it's refurb. they even give a brand new battery
