New M5 MacBook Air pre-order deals are live, but M4 models now $300 off at new Amazon lows
Apple unleashed its all-new M5 MacBook Air this week, and we are tracking solid pre-order deals on both it and the new MacBook Neo with FREE gift cards starting from $599. However, those not bothered by the latest Air might want to take a look at the sizable $300 price drops Amazon is now offering the M4 MacBook Air right now – you will find 13- and 15-inch machines sitting at Amazon all-time low pricing for pre-order week.
We caught these new all-time lows going live yesterday at Amazon, but as per usual stock on select models is wearing thin and we wanted to make sure these, frankly, major $300 price drops were on everyone’s radar:
- 13-inch M4 MacBook Air 24GB/512GB $1,099 (Reg. $1,399) – Amazon all-time low
- 15-inch M4 MacBook Air 16GB/512GB $1,099 (Reg. $1,399) – Amazon all-time low
- 15-inch M4 MacBook Air 24GB/512GB $1,299 (Reg. $1,599) – Amazon all-time low
As you can see above there are a few configurations seeing particularly deep deals at Amazon right now, including both of the 24GB models in the 13- and 15-inch sizes as well as a 16GB/512GB 15-incher as well. Color options are already starting to sell out, so be sure to get in there if you’re looking to save some cash on the still capable M4 model instead of jumping into the now live M5 MacBook Air pre-order deals.

M3 iPad Air stock is disappearing, but this 1TB model is seeing a deep $250 price drop right now
Deals on the latest M3 iPad Air lineup haven’t been quite as generous in 2026 as we saw nearer the last quarter of 2025 and stock is starting to disappear. That said, we are still looking at prices on a few models that are within $30 of the all-time low as well as a lingering chance to score one of the best Amazon prices ever on this this 13-inch 512GB model at nearly $250 off the list price – this model will sell out or jump back up in price soon by the looks of it.
Amazon is currently offering $110 and $120 off some of the more affordable models in the lineup, but this 13-inch M3 iPad Air with the 512GB storage capacity and the upgraded cell connectivity happens to be sitting at a particularly notable $999.99 shipped right now.
You’re looking at a regularly $1,249 config that is now back at the best price we have ever tracked. And this one has only dropped this low once before. It is only live in the gray colorway, but considering how notable of a deal this is, we thought this one needed to be front and center once again.
As you can see in the list below, stock is starting to run (very) dry on the M3 lineup at retail, but there are still a few configs you can land a solid discount on:
M3 iPad Air 11-inch
- 11-inch M3 iPad Air 1TB from $979 (Reg. $1,099)
M3 iPad Air 13-inch
- 13-inch M3 iPad Air 512GB from $979 (Reg. $1,099)
- 13-inch M3 iPad Air 1TB from $1,159 (Reg. $1,299)
