BTW: The MacBook Air 13in 16GB RAM 512GB SSD with M5 Chip has the Sky Blue showing in stock this morning for $899.00 at the Exchange. IDK how many they have, but I just ordered one: Shop Army & Air Force Exchange Service [shopmyexchange.com]

Price will be $1299 Apple retail for now on.

I'm not going to start a new thread because I doubt they have many since all colors have sold out once already.

This model at Apple is $1799. PLUS tax.
This is a no brainer.
For $400 more you get a bigger screen and double the memory.

If I buy this though Amazon I can get an apple care warranty or a used one with assurant. If I buy it though here what where can I get an accidental warranty for it? Ive had 2 strokes and have dropped my 2012 macbook several times, but that thing is built like a brick.

Incredible deal at the moment. Almost worth upgrading my M4 and trying come out even or ahead in the arbitrage.

You'll have 60 days to add accidental coverage (AppleCare+) through Apple upon delivery of the laptop.

In light of the recent price hikes, the $899 13" (OOS) was a no brainer. The $1099 15" (16/512) wasn't even listed anymore when I checked couple of days ago. Sale goes through next Thursday. Prices will probably go up on Friday (I meant to reflect Apple price hikes)?

Is it possible to order this if you aren't a veteran?
