Apple’s latest MacBook Air is $200 off in both sizes for Memorial Day
편집자 요약
Memorial Day를 앞두고 Amazon에서 13-inch MacBook Air(M5, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD)가 $899.99로 내려가며 신저가를 기록했습니다. 15-inch 모델도 일부 색상 기준 Amazon에서 $1,099.99, Best Buy에서 $1,149에 판매되며 정가 대비 최대 $200 할인됩니다. 본 기사는 M5 MacBook Air가 일상 작업, 가벼운 영상 편집, 긴 배터리 수명에서 강점을 보이는 주력 노트북이라고 평가합니다.
맥락
이번 할인은 MacBook Air가 프리미엄 노트북 시장에서 가격 경쟁력을 넓히는 계기가 될 수 있습니다. 기본 저장 용량 확대와 MacBook Pro에 근접한 저장장치 성능은 일반 소비자에게 Pro 라인업 대신 Air를 선택할 유인을 강화합니다. Apple이 성능보다 실사용 경험과 구성 가치를 앞세우는 메인스트림 전략을 지속하고 있음을 보여줍니다.

If you’re looking for a laptop that’ll still perform well several years from now, Apple’s latest MacBook Air is hard to beat. Now, in particular, is a good time to pick one up, as you can currently buy the 13-inch MacBook Air at Amazon in the run-up to Memorial Day with an M5 chip, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD for $899.99 ($200 off), which is a new low price.

Apple’s latest model is faster and better at handling everyday workloads than the new MacBook Neo, whether that means juggling dozens of tabs or tackling some light video editing. The 2026 iteration is an even better value than before, as it boasts double the base storage, allowing for more apps and files. Storage performance is also impressive, with read and write speeds that rival the M5 MacBook Pro, so transferring files and multitasking feel much faster.
Apple’s mid-tier laptop excels in other ways, too. Its sharp, vibrant display makes everything from spreadsheets to Netflix shine, and it’s both slim and light enough that it’s easy to tote around in a backpack. It also lasts around 13 hours on a single charge — more than enough for a full day of use — while its 12-megapixel Center Stage webcam offers best-in-class performance. Sure, none of it is a huge step up from prior models, but given how good the MacBook Air has become in recent years, sometimes a few subtle refinements are all you need.
