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.

Common Questions (3)

  • It is not especially compelling versus other options: the same configuration has been seen for $1,079, Costco reportedly had this model for $999.97, and Apple's M5 15-inch Air can be had for about $1,199 through the education store. A better deal target for this M4 configuration is closer to the low-$900s or below.

  • The M5 is often the better buy if the price gap is only about $100-$150, since it offers newer silicon and higher performance. The M4 becomes more attractive only when the extra RAM or a much lower price matters more than the chip upgrade.

  • Yes. Apple refurbished has been seen with a 13-inch M4 Air 16GB/256GB for $759 and a 15-inch refurb around $930, and Micro Center or Costco may also undercut this listing depending on stock and location.

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
