The MacBook Air M5 has only been out for a minute, and there's already a decent discount. Money off at Amazon for this absolute gem in Apple's ranks.

It’s been Apple’s best consumer MacBook for a while now, certainly since it started using M-chips, offering a good chunk of what makes the MacBook Pro great at a much lower price. It’s been recently updated to use the latest M processor, the M5, and can be found with a decent amount of RAM and storage too, though the entry-level model isn’t to be ignored.

The MacBook Air M5 makes the ideal choice for students going back to school or college, can turn its hand to many creative applications, and can play games too thanks to the M5 chip’s enhanced GPU cores. It’s even better value thanks to this deal running on Amazon right now, which knocks up to 12% off the price.

The MacBook Air M5 is one of the most compelling Apple laptops available right now. The price to power ratio is spot on, and it's thin and light too. Up in the Air: I’ve used a variety of Airs over the years, starting with an 11in Core i7 model that had the very first version of Thunderbolt on board, and they’ve been universally excellent.

The M5 model comes in a range of colours, the star of which is the Sky Blue option. It’s steely, professional-looking, and looks great whenever you pull it out to use. You can find 12% off the price of the M5 MacBook Air with 16GB RAM and a 1TB SSD on Amazon right now, but perhaps more interesting is 10% off the cost of one with 24GB of RAM and the 1TB drive.
