There’s No Point Waiting For The M5 MacBook Air, As The M4 13-Inch & 15-Inch MacBook Air Is $200 Off At Amazon

Apple will eventually introduce the M5 MacBook Air in the months after it officially starts selling the M5 MacBook Pro, but you won’t see discounts on the company’s newest portable Mac right away, making the M4 MacBook Air model a more attractive proposition. Why? Because Amazon has slashed the 13-inch and 15-inch versions by $200, and best of all, you can configure this machine with up to 24 GB of integrated RAM and a 512 GB SSD. The base model starts at $799, making it an instant steal.

The M5 MacBook Air will likely adopt the same ‘fanless’ cooling solution as the M4 MacBook Air, making it run very hot and slow in most use cases, making Amazon’s latest offering a tempting one.

The M5 offers a reasonable performance increase over the M4, but that wouldn’t be a problem if it wasn’t properly cooled. Since the current range of 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Airs ship with fanless cooling designs that only include a giant heatsink, it’s safe to assume the M5 version does as well. Even with one heat pipe and one fan running at full speed, the M5 MacBook Pro can reach 99 degrees Celsius when pushed hard and in some cases, thermal limiting occurs.

Without a fan, the MacBook Air M5 won’t offer any significant advantages over the M4 model, but your wallet will definitely feel the difference once you save $200 off the total. The deal on Amazon applies to all colors, with the 15-inch M4 MacBook Air starting at $999, and prices for the base model are listed above. Both of these portable Macs give you 16GB of integrated RAM and 256GB of storage.

If you feel the SSD is too small for everyday use, you’re not wrong in this case, making the 512GB version a better choice. The 13-inch MacBook Air M4 with 16 GB of integrated RAM and 512 GB of storage is on sale for $999, while the 15-inch MacBook Air is discounted to $1,199. According to Apple, both machines will last up to 18 hours on a single charge despite the difference in battery capacity, so if you have a strong desire for an extra screen, choose the 15-inch MacBook Air M4.

For everything else, the 13-inch model will meet your demands well. We can’t say for sure when Apple will cancel this deal, but we do know that the online retailer is selling it too 14-inch MacBook Pro M4 in Space Black with 16 GB integrated RAM and 512 GB SSD for $1,349 after $250 discountmaking it deliver extraordinary value.
