Apple announced a slew of new products in March, including updated MacBook Airs with the M5 chip. These MacBooks come in both 13-inch and 15-inch sizes, and if you're interested in either, it's a good time to buy: Amazon is selling both at a $150 discount. That brings the 13-inch MacBook Air to $950 (down from $1,100) and the 15-inch MacBook Air to $1,150 (originally $1,300), matching their lowest prices ever, according to tracking tools.

The M5 MacBook Air is tempting, especially for under $1,000. In comparison to the already excellent M4 Airs, the M5 base model has double the storage at 512GB, making up for the $100 bump in the list price. The M5 chip is powerful and makes the performance even smoother, according to Mashable's review. The aluminum design is as good as you'd expect from Apple's most popular portable laptop, keeping it lightweight and thin. It comes with a Liquid Retina display, Touch ID, a 12MP Center Stage Camera, and the Magic Keyboard.

Typically, the question would be whether to go for the slightly older M4 MacBook Air or pay a bit more for the newer M5 chip—but with the current discount, the 13-inch M5 with 512GB of storage is actually cheaper than a comparably equipped M4 from Amazon, making the choice a no-brainer.
