New MacBook Pro too pricey? The excellent MacBook Air 13 M5 has just dropped to its lowest price in months
The big headline in Apple news this week is the debut of a brand new MacBook Pro series with the M6 chipset. The brand has just refreshed its flagship laptops with a shiny new processor without hiking the prices, but these new machines still start at an eye-wateringly high $1,999. If you’re on more of a budget, then I’d highly recommend checking out the MacBook Air 13 (M5) for $1,099 (was $1,319) at B&H Photo today. Not only is this a great price for the latest MacBook Air 13, but it’s one of the best deals I’ve seen since the laptop was hit by a massive price hike. The record low for the MacBook Air 13 is technically $949, but it’s been hovering anywhere between $1,299 and $1,149 ever since June. It’s been a pretty bitter pill to swallow, considering the MacBook Air is arguably the best value MacBook for most people right now. With this deal, however, we’re starting to creep closer to that pre-hike price tag…
