Community Reviews

The MacBook Air M5 stands out as a strong value for buyers chasing Apple silicon performance, especially in higher memory and storage trims like 24GB and 1TB. The thread highlights past prices around $749 to $899, with several recent buys near $1,049 to $1,149 and praise for the 24GB and 1TB configuration at this level. Pricing has moved sharply upward since a recent hike, so older lows are unlikely to return soon. AppleCare is not price matched, and the best value may depend on catching the right configuration or an open box or price match opportunity.

You and me both! I got the 13" 24gb/1tb for $1049 but had my heart set on the 15" if I was gonna get one .... 2 weeks later the 15" 24gb/1tb went for $1149 and I pulled the trigger again. Now I have 2 I didn't really need, but since I got such a good deal on em I was not returning them.
Where was that deal? I bought mine a month before for $1300 at Costco but I didn't open the box for like a month. Killer deal at that price.


EDIT: now I remember after finding the original deal from Amazon...

I remember I missed out on it. The 5th post on that thread already marked it as a dead deal so you were one of the lucky few.

The last good MBA you will ever see was the M4 16gb for $750 last BF. Honestly last years BF was likely the best BF we'll have in 10 years.
We didn't know what we had

Good price. If you need it, buy it. Don't expect that prices are going to come back down any time soon. Component shortages are expected to continue through 2028
2028? Try 2031. Maybe. During Micron's last earnings call they announced 16 newly signed Long Term Agreements (LTAs) for NAND and DRAM comprising over 50% of their annual revenue. These LTAs are typically 5 years long.

Sandisk's Datacenter Year over Year revenue increased 1,298% and their Edge YoY is up 392%. (source: Gamer's Nexus "Memory Companies Have Destroyed The Consumer Market").

But none of that addresses the bigger issue that AI is the only thing holding up the economy right now. Sure, we can hold off buying overpriced electronics in hopes prices come back down to earth. But if the AI falls in the woods and then none of us can buy anything with our wheelbarrows full of hyper-inflated US Zimbabwean dollars, Did prices really fall?

TLDR: Pay too much now or pay too much later. If it the bottom drops out we're all screwed anyways.

People ask to compare generally, but today's market isn't normal..I don't think prices are coming down again.You can always get a refurbished m3 or something those are still solid
Do you know where to find those m3s?

Likely by someone who had to find a credit card and wanted to buy time.

LMAOI saw that and figured I'd check anyway and bought it after that. I remember thinking well its not a 15" but for this price at these specs its the best I can do even in this color. Little did I know 2 weeks later the 15" would be available at even a better deal since jumping to the 15" usually is 200 more spec for spec and it only was 100 more.
