At US$899 with 512 GB storage and 16 GB RAM, and a host of other features, it's a better value than the MacBook Neo.

Agreed, but still hard to beat the $499/599 educational price of a Neo.

Here’s hoping 2027 will bring the 12 GB Neo, and that it will qualify for the Back-To-School education promotion. My kid is due for an upgrade from a 8/256 GB 2015 13” MacBook Pro. A 12/512 GB Neo with free AirPods during the BTS sale would be nice.

Literally could sell M5 Mac minis at the same price and make more money…

That’s $100.99 cheaper than the Apple Education Store, which is a shame because it’s better to buy directly from Apple than to buy from Amazon. Jeff Bozos is worse than Tim Crook.

Whenever I see these Amazon deals, I always check Costco too. And once again they are running the exact same price $899 until May 30. I guess MacRumors always promotes the Amazon sale because they get the affiliate kickback.

I agree with @BruiserB

Costco is THE place to get these.

They have better return policies and less expensive AppleCare+

Great company!

Get the M4 and stick to Sequoia. You save money and have a solid OS instead of a construction zone.

But by that time you'll find the M5 Macbook Air for a lower price as the base model usually ends up around 750 bucks. Compared to the 512GB Neo at $599 with education pricing the difference isn't all that big anymore - if you can wait until 2027. But the Neo might still be sturdier with thicker bezels and that might be more important in a school setting than the chip inside. Especially if that device is at risk of being damaged or lost buying 2 Neos is cheaper than 2 Macbook Airs.

i'm always shocked at how low macbook airs can go.

Apple has one of the highest profit margins. Both Apple and the seller are still making a profit and by next year it should reach the usual $749 again. Amazon and others make their profit through the sheer quantity of product they move so whatever they lose on each unit they make back double.
