Prime Day: Your Last Chance for Affordable MacBooks?

SUNI wonders if these deals are a glimpse into the future of tech affordability—or just another sigh in the face of Apple’s price hikes.

MacBooks remain a prime target on Prime Day, offering a mix of affordable and powerful options. The MacBook Air, for instance, is showing its age with a higher starting price but still offers a solid deal at $1,149 for the 1 TB model, $450 cheaper than Apple's own price.


The MacBook Pro, particularly in the M5 configuration, stands out as the best value. Amazon is keeping prices at $1,550 despite the $1,999 starting point from Apple, making it a steal for those needing more power and features. The 14-inch model with the Nano Texture display also adds some unique perks.


The MacBook Neo, once hailed as affordable, now comes with an A18 Pro chip and higher prices, leaving enthusiasts to weigh convenience against cost. Walmart still offers older models at $599, but the Blush version of the 512 GB model is just $110 cheaper than Apple's current asking price.


As Apple raises its prices, these deals might be your last chance for reasonably priced MacBooks. But will future discounts match past glories?
