Pricing on the base model M5 13-inch recently went up, but you can score one directly from Apple with a full 1-year warranty down at $1,099 shipped – you can’t even get an open-box model from the big retailers at a price this low – and you’ll other configurations at up to $240 off the list price directly from Apple.

There was a time when you could score this machine for less, but those days are long gone and it has been very difficult to find any M5 MacBook Pro for less than $1,199 since the price increases. 

If you’re looking for the lowest possible price on the M5 MacBook Air from (not) arguably the best and most trustworthy source on the internet, these official Apple Certified Refurbished Store deals are worth consideration. 

There might be a time in the future we see Amazon get aggressive with deal pricing on this model in brand new condition, but as of right now, $200+ off right after the price hike has truly taken hold at retail seems unlikely for the immediate future.
