Apple has officially launched its next-generation M5 MacBook Air and M5 Pro MacBook Pro, but it has also introduced the world to its new and more affordable MacBook Neo.

The new M5 MacBook Air pre-order deals are live, but the M4 models are now $300 off new on Amazon.

Apple launched its new M5 MacBook Air this week, and we’re tracking strong pre-order deals on it and the new MacBook Neo with FREE gift cards starting from. $599. However, those who are not bothered by the latest Air may want to look at the size $300 price drop Amazon is now offering the M4 MacBook Air right now – you’ll find the 13 and 15-inch machines sitting at Amazon’s all-time low prices during pre-order week.

We caught this new all-time drop going live yesterday on Amazon, but as usual stock on select models is running low and we wanted to make sure this, frankly, massive $300 price drop was on everyone’s radar:

As you can see above there are a few configurations that are seeing deep deals on Amazon right now, including both the 24GB models for the 13 and 15-inch sizes and the 16GB/512GB 15-incher as well. Color options have already gone on sale, so be sure to get in there if you want to save money on a still-working M4 model instead of jumping on the M5 MacBook Air pre-order deals now.

Stock of the M3 iPad Air is disappearing, but this 1TB model is seeing a deep $250 price drop right now

The offers for the latest edition of the M3 iPad Air were not so generous in 2026 as we saw the last quarter of 2025 approaching and the stock is starting to disappear. That said, we’re still looking at prices on a few models that are within $30 of the lowest price and there’s still a chance to find the best prices on Amazon for this 13-inch 512GB model. $250 off list price – this model will sell or jump up in price soon by the looks of it.

Amazon is currently offering $110 and $120 off the other less expensive models on the list, but this 13-inch M3 iPad Air with 512GB of storage and advanced cellular connectivity sits in the most notable spot. $999.99 shipped right now.

You’re looking at a regular $1,249 setup that’s now back at the best price we’ve ever tracked. And this one has been down this low once before. It’s only live in gray, but considering how noticeable this is, we thought this one needed to be front and center as well.

As you can see in the list below, the stock is starting to run (very) dry on the M3 list in sales, but there are still a few settings you can get a strong discount on:
