Those who qualify can find a much better deal at AAFES. They offer $899 tax-free and free shipping.

Model MDHH4LL/A has the 8-core GPU.

Update: I did some more research. More specifically, the 16GB/512GB model has the 8-core GPU, but the 16GB/1TB model has the 10-core GPU.

Why so bitter? This site is for finding deals. OP posted the lowest price found as of today.

Community Reviews

This MacBook Air deal centers on the M5 13.6 inch model with 16GB memory and 512GB storage, and the main appeal is strong everyday performance in a thin, premium package. The screen, backlit keyboard, audio, MagSafe, and 16GB memory get the most praise, and Adobe apps, Figma, and other Apple Silicon software are described as running smoothly. The 16GB and 512GB configuration is also clarified as using an 8 core GPU, while the 1TB version carries the 10 core GPU. The main hesitation is value, since nearby pricing and trade in options can undercut it, and some would rather wait for 24GB memory or a better M4 or M5 offer.

Common Questions (4)

  • A qualifying AAFES purchase is listed at $899 tax-free with free shipping, which is lower than the $949.99 deal. Costco also reportedly shows the price valid until 5/10, and Amazon/Costco both list free shipping at $949.99.

  • 16GB RAM can be enough for Adobe apps, Figma, design work, and web development, and macOS apps are optimized for Apple Silicon. Heavy multitasking or memory-hungry workflows may still push users toward 24GB, especially if they regularly max out RAM and rely on SSD caching.

    LucasTPTunaSushiSohvkhanhondaman82

  • The 16GB/512GB configuration has an 8-core GPU. The 10-core GPU is tied to the 16GB/1TB model, though a 10-core GPU may also be configurable through Apple's site in a 16GB/512GB setup.

    Nate650Nate650SubZero5

  • Yes. VMware Fusion, Parallels, and Oracle VirtualBox can run on Apple Silicon MacBook Air models and are capable of running Windows 11 for ARM as a virtual machine.

Not a good price in my opinion as 1 tb is $1199 purchased directly from Apple, and if you have a trade-in all the better.

24GB should be the new baseline. I an constantly maxing it out and dipping into the SSD for caching.

If only it ran Windows 11. MacOS is useless for any professional applications. This is an expensive web browser.
