This 13 inch MacBook Air M5 deal stands out as a strong price on the 16GB and 512GB configuration, especially with Apple price increases making the same class of machine cost more elsewhere. The base specs are described as finally sensible, and the 1TB version at $1049 gives a clear upgrade reference if more storage matters. Price matching has also worked through chat and customer service, which helped bring earlier purchases down to the ad price. Stock has been inconsistent across colors, and a few orders later showed back ordered, cancelled, or out of stock.

Mods why is this marked dead? It's also available in store. It's a 2 week sale so stock will come back. Seems odd if I need to make a new post every time it comes in stock for shipping.

Thanks. You saved me $100 for I had already bought two of them and chat refunded me $50 each. Also, thanks for the iPad head's up. I'll save another $20 there when I have them retroactively price match.


If anyone cares, the 13" M5 16/1TB config in Sky Blue is in stock right at this moment:

$1049 $200 more, but get a faster 1TB SSD and 10 vs 8 GPU cores.

I have watching stock like a hawk since the ad went up last Friday. Silver was instock a couple days ago. I think people were buying just to price match when it went live today. Looks like midnight is OOS as well. There should be more stock coming since it's a week long sale.
Have you noticed a pattern in the timing for when new stock hits the system? Midnight, certain day of week, etc?

The 15" M5, 16/1TB is in stock for $1249 right at this moment, all colors https://www.shopmyexchange.com/ap...ip/4931005 (for reference, I paid $1,049 for the 15" 16/512GB . So that is $200 more for the 1TB drive. Also note, that storage is the one thing you can add to the Macbook via external SSD. Although, Thunderbolt 4 external NVMe drive has about 1/2 the performance of the current generation internal ones but still a decent 3,000MB/s.

I don't need 1 TB of storage, like you mentioned easily upgradable, but 24gb of RAM would definitely be preferable to help future proof.
