Apple is offering discounts on the M5 MacBook Air and various accessories through its official Certified Refurbished Store [1].
These price reductions provide a lower-cost entry point for consumers to access the latest M5 silicon and help Apple manage its refurbished hardware inventory [1, 2].
Reports on the exact discount amounts vary by model and date. On July 31, the 13-inch M5 MacBook Air was listed at $200 off [1], bringing the price down to $1,099 shipped [1]. Other reports from the same date mentioned discounts of $240 [1], while a subsequent report on Aug. 1 highlighted deals reaching $300 off [2].
"The official Apple Certified Refurbished Store is now offering the 13‑inch M5 MacBook Air at $200 off the new list price… down at $1,099 shipped here," 9to5Mac said [1].
The discounts extend to larger configurations as well. The 15-inch M5 MacBook Air featuring 24GB of memory was listed at $200 off [3]. According to AppleInsider, these specific units are selling out quickly due to limited quantities [3].
"This weekend we are highlighting some banger deals on the official Apple refurb store… at $300 off," 9to5Mac said [2].
In addition to the laptops, the refurbished store has listed discounts on other Apple ecosystem products, including AirPods Pro 3, and AirTag 2 [1]. The store ships these devices within the U.S. [1, 2].

The introduction of M5-series laptops into the refurbished channel suggests a stabilization of the current hardware cycle. By offering significant discounts on high-spec models, such as those with 24GB of RAM, Apple is targeting a mid-market segment that desires professional-grade performance without the premium cost of a brand-new retail unit.
