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

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.

  • Price adjustment requests can be submitted after purchase within Amazon's price adjustment window.

  • The M4 MacBook Air can handle couch web browsing, light spreadsheets, and email smoothly enough to justify buying an M5 Air.

  • A Chase Freedom Visa promo can reduce the effective purchase price by about 5% when the quarterly Amazon category is activated.

    AquaGalley8616

  • Selecting higher RAM and SSD options on the Silver model reportedly kept the price at $900 and still allowed the order to process.

  • Buying from Amazon may be less appealing when Costco offers the same configuration at the same price.

    Tweak155

  • The Dell Latitude alternative may only be sufficient for mostly web browsing rather than matching the experience of a $900 MacBook Air.

    SDJP2020

  • Space constraints from 8GB RAM and 256GB storage can make the MacBook Air feel limiting for some upgrade paths.

    nojmplease

  • Costco price matching and retailer comparisons may require extra effort even when the difference is around $40.

Precisely my point - in what use cases will this MBair outperform the Dell ?
If you need to ask that, it's likely that you won't notice, since I certainly have no idea what you want to use your laptop for. Despite what people say, it's still a preference choice for Windows or MacOS and that should be the difference maker. I don't know if you are like me and prefer a mouse (even after using Mac trackpad) where the functionality is broken by default on MacOS. Or if you would consider the (typically) weaker battery life of Windows to be more of a caveat. Most of the difference in thin and lights is external factors like build quality, screen, keyboard etc and you have to be able to weight them, along with software considerations.

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.

Did anyone tried selecting 24GB and 1TB SSD on the Silver model earlier today? I was just messing around with the configurations for kicks, and the price literally stayed at $900. I placed an order right away and it processed. Seriously hoping a few others here were able to cash in on this! https://imgur.com/a/yVF3fG8

The price is good, but with the shortage the excellent price might be hard to get
