Available at Costco for same price if you prefer that retailer. I just posted that deal here, this Amazon thread was not a result at the time I posted / searched: https://slickdeals.net/f/19553265-apple-macbook-air-13-6-laptop-2026-m5-10-core-chip-16gb-ram-512gb-ssd-899-99

Community Reviews

This MacBook Air deal stands out for the M5 chip, 16GB of memory, and 512GB of storage at a strong $900 price. The machine is described as a fantastic upgrade, with the Air line handling light web browsing, spreadsheets, and email easily, and the extra memory and storage addressing the cramped 8GB and 256GB setups. Costco has the same SKU at the same price, and Amazon buyers may be able to use a price adjustment or Chase Freedom rewards to lower the effective cost. A solid value if you want a thin, capable everyday laptop.

Common Questions (4)

  • The current price has been within Amazon's price-adjustment window for recent buyers, and a price adjustment was successfully submitted after buying a week earlier. Costco also appears to carry the same SKU at the same $899 price, which gives shoppers another retailer option.

  • Using a Chase Freedom Visa Signature card can earn 5% back on Amazon during the rotating quarterly category, which works out to about $45 back on a $900 purchase. That can bring the effective cost to around $850 if the promo is activated before checkout.

    DhryAquaGalley8616Dhry

  • The M5 Air is well suited to couch web browsing, light spreadsheets, and email, and the 16GB/512GB configuration addresses the space limits that can show up on older 8GB/256GB MacBook Airs. It is also described as a strong upgrade from an M1 MacBook Air.

    pfran42nojmplease

  • A Silver configuration with 24GB RAM and 1TB SSD reportedly stayed at $900 and processed successfully when ordered. That suggests the deal may have applied to more than the listed 16GB/512GB configuration at the time.

I have the Chase Freedom Unlimited Signature Visa card but no where to find the rotating categories in Chase App!
No. You have the Chase Freedom Unlimited Visa. They also have the Chase Freedom Flex Visa. The older card is called the Chase Freedom Visa Signature. Check ChatGPT and ask for the differences between the three to get a breakdown.

Edit: ugh, now you got ME confused. Flex was what they called the card I have now. They have two current Freedoms according to the site, Unlimited and the new Rise which is for students and new-to-credit. Glad I looked at this latter one might be a good one for my kiddo.

I did use my Chase Freedom Visa card to get 5 percent off .... check your Chase cards activate the promo for the months.

so 45 dollars on 900 dollars (the cost of this product in this thread). So about 850 dollars for this product with Chase Freedom VISA card (make sure you activate this promo before hand).

This should be $750 by Black Friday, but not bad price if you need one now.

Thank you so much, i was going to ask I think simiar item posted earlier, better buy it at costco for additional 2 year warranty!

(btw, have anyone here ever used the 2nd year costco warranty for PC/Macbooks)? Do you call the number and they give you some ticket # to take it to apple store for repair?

It has been that price every year for the past ~5 years on the current base model MacBook Air, but there's always people who claim it won't be and TD posts like mine.. Apple shareholders perhaps? 😂

Is this the lowest it goes or should I wait for the AirPods deal?

I don't really need the AirPods, but if I get a good discount with extra AirPods, I can give it to family.

Honest question - is it better performing than the refurbished Dell latitude 5440 with 1350P cpu, 32gb ddr5 ram and 512gb SSD posted few days ago for less than ~400 ?

The Dell Latitude is less than half the price, surely you are not expecting it to perform like a $900 Air? Compare it to a $900 Windows laptop and then try again. Unless you mostly do web browsing, at which point yes the Dell would be good enough for your use case.

I'm a PC guy, but can this handle coding work? I put an app out last year using a virtual mac that I rented in the cloud, but I'm getting the itch to release a V2 and the virtual mac is presenting issues getting things installed these days.

Precisely my point - in what use cases will this MBair outperform the Dell ?
