Openbox: Apple MacBook Air 13.6-in / M5 Chip / 16GB RAM / 512 SSD - Open Box $1449

One of the cheapest deals out there currently for an M5 air after recent price hikes. $1799 new, even with the education discount they now go for $1659. Because they are still so newly released, on top of the 1 year warranty provided by openbox, there will still be remaining Apple care warranty that you could take to Apple and add the full Apple care plus warranty.

I have bought a few things from here over the years and have had zero issues, all looked and performed brand new and still came in the original packaging as well. So for those looking to get the latest and greatest Air but pay the older pricing and don't mind an openbox model, its about as good of deal you're going to find for the foreseeable future.

I personally own an M5 air and it's by far my favorite laptop I've ever owned. Stupid fast, crazy good battery life, nice speakers and runs completely silent. Macs aren't for everyone, but its definitely one of the best daily driver laptops out there, assuming you're not in need of something that's windows specific.
