Deals: M5 MacBook Air from $1,099 ($200 off), MacBook Neo $120 off, AirPods Pro 3/Max 2, Beats 240W cable, more
We are getting set to head into the weekend with the ongoing 25% price drop on AirPods Pro 3 and a solid $100 off AirPods Max 2, but today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break is headlined by the most affordable 13-inch M5 MacBook Air back at $1,099 in 3 colors via official Apple refurb store ($200 off) if you’re fast – this model tends to sell out quickly. We also have MacBook Neo at up to $120 off the new list prices, Apple Watch Ultra 3 with the Natural or Black Milanese Loop at nearly $100 off via Amazon and the latest latest 240W braided Beats USB-C cable down at the $18 Prime shipped Amazon low (40% off). Just be sure to scope out the updated 2026 Best Buy Back to School sale while you still can, and head below for more details.
The official Apple refurb store has been a wonderful source of savings as price hikes on the current MacBook lineup hit retail. Stock on the most affordable configurations across the Pro and M5 MacBook Air lineup comes and goes quite quickly though, and this morning we are tracking three colors of the least expensive 13-inch M5 MacBook Air at the ready down at $1,099 – that’s $200 off the list price.
The official Apple Certified Refurbished Store is now offering the 13-inch M5 MacBook Air with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage down at $1,099 shipped. This deal is live (at the time of writing) on the Midnight, Starlight, and Sky Blue models.
You’re looking at the least pricey M5 MacBook Air configuration here that carries a $1,299 list price in new condition. Today’s Apple refurb offer is $200 off the new sticker price and the best deal we can find on the most accessible model in the current-generation lineup.
This is the Apple refurb store and quite possibly the best quality refurbished MacBook Air units you can buy, but how does this stack up against the new prices at retail right now?
Amazon is charging nearly full sticker price on this configuration right now with the silver model slightly below that at $1,240. While there was a time this machine sold for less than this, we are yet to see it dip below $1,149 in new condition at Amazon since the price hike, and even that was a very short-lived offer roughly a month ago.
If you ask me, the two nicest smartwatch combos on the planet are nearly $100 off on Amazon right now – the Apple Watch Ultra 3 with the matching Milanese Loop in Natural Titanium or Black.
While the $100 price drops on the more affordable Ocean Band configs have disappeared now, Amazon is offering Apple Watch Ultra 3 in Natural or Black Titanium with the Milanese Loop down at $799.99 shipped.
These two configs carry a premium $899 list price because of that gorgeous woven steel Milanese Loop, but are currently sitting at just shy of $100 off courtesy of Amazon:
Apple is expected to be launching a next-generation Ultra wearable next month, but with RAMageddon taking hold across the iPad and MacBook lineups already, it would seem there is a chance the new Apple Watch models might be its next victim. The existing lineup has stayed out of the line of fire thus far, but they are mini wrist computers after all, and the Ultra 4/Series 12 might be the next casualty.
