If you've been waiting for the right time to purchase a new MacBook — now is it. Apple recently refreshed its MacBook lineup with all models now using the M5 processor. Even better, most of these MacBook are now seeing $100 price cuts.

Some of the best MacBook deals this week come from Amazon. For example, Amazon has the new 13-inch MacBook Air (M5) on sale for $999. Want a bigger screen? You can get the 15-inch MacBook Air (M5) on sale for $1,149.

With so many deals right now — my advice is to jump on any sales immediately because stock tends to run out fast. If you don't see the listed sale price, try checking different color models for hidden deals. (For more deals, make sure to follow our best Apple deals guide).

How to find the best MacBook deals

Amazon, Best Buy, and B&H Photo offer the best MacBook deals and often price match each other. Here are the prices to look for when shopping for your MacBook:

Current gen

13-inch MacBook Air M5: Released in March, this is one of Apple's newest Macs. It sells from $1,099 ($100 increase over the M4 model) and has hit an all-time low of $949 at Amazon/Best Buy during the Big Spring Sale.

15-inch MacBook Air M5: Released in March, the larger 15-inch MacBook Air sells from $1,299. It has sold for $1,149 at Amazon.

14-inch MacBook Pro M5: Amazon and Best Buy tend to offer the best deals on Apple's new MacBooks. The base 14-inch model hit $1,499. Meanwhile, the model with the M5 Pro hit $2,049.

16-inch MacBook Pro M5 Pro: One of the priciest MacBooks in Apple's lineup (from $2,699) has hit an all-time price low of $2,549 at Amazon. While it's rare to find this price, it's not completely uncommon, so if you can wait it out — we'd recommend waiting for a major retail holiday before buying this machine.

It's also worth noting that sometimes pricing varies based on what color MacBook you choose. So when shopping, we recommend clicking on different colors to see if there are hidden discounts. Also, check out our list of the best Mac VPN and how to check MacBook battery health.
