Today’s 9to5Mac Lunch Break is headlined by the best deals on the new 2026 MacBook pre-orders: MacBook Neo, M4 MacBook Air, and M5 Pro MacBook Pro. But from there we move over to the now live Best Buy Apple Shopping Event alongside a rare price drop on brand new condition unlocked iPhone Air units, today’s official Apple Watch band sale from $14, and M4 MacBook Air models at $300 off (Amazon all-time low prices).

Head below for a closer look at the details. Apple has officially unleashed its next-generation M5 MacBook Air as well as the M5 Pro MacBook Pro, but it has also introduced the world to its new and far more affordable MacBook Neo. All three of the new models are now up for pre-order before shipments begin arriving on doorsteps mid next week, so we have now put together the best pre-order deals for folks to land a discount on their new 2026 MacBook.

Apple unleashed its all-new M5 MacBook Air this week, and we are tracking solid pre-order deals on both it and the new MacBook Neo with FREE gift cards starting from $599. However, those not bothered by the latest Air might want to take a look at the sizable $300 price drops Amazon is now offering the M4 MacBook Air right now – you will find 13- and 15-inch machines sitting at Amazon all-time low pricing for pre-order week.  As you can see above there are a few configurations seeing particularly deep deals at Amazon right now, including both of the 24GB models in the 13- and 15-inch sizes as well as a 16GB/512GB 15-incher as well.

Color options are already starting to sell out, so be sure to get in there if you’re looking to save some cash on the still capable M4 model instead of jumping into the now live M5 MacBook Air pre-order deals.  Best Buy has launched a wide-ranging 4-day Apple Shopping Event this morning with the best deals on all of the brand new Mac releases that went up for pre-order yesterday, including the all-new MacBook Neo, M4 MacBook Air, and M5 Pro MacBook Pro.

But it also offering a selection of Apple Watch bands at 40% off including Nike models – just be sure to read on as some of the Ultra models are selling for even less at Amazon right now.  Deals on the latest M3 iPad Air lineup haven’t been quite as generous in 2026 as we saw nearer the last quarter of 2025 and stock is starting to disappear. That said, we are still looking at prices on a few models that are within $30 of the all-time low as well as a lingering chance to score one of the best Amazon prices ever on this this 13-inch 512GB model at nearly $250 off the list price – this model will sell out or jump back up in price soon by the looks of it.  Amazon is currently offering $110 and $120 off some of the more affordable models in the lineup, but this 13-inch M3 iPad Air with the 512GB storage capacity and the upgraded cell connectivity happens to be sitting at a particularly notable $999.99 shipped right now.  You’re looking at a regularly $1,249 config that is now back at the best price we have ever tracked.

And this one has only dropped this low once before. It is only live in the gray colorway, but considering how notable of a deal this is, we thought this one needed to be front and center once again.  Justin is a senior editor covering all things music for 9to5Mac, including our weekly Logic Pros series exploring music production on Mac and iOS devices.
