Apple has now unleashed the all-new MacBook Neo as pre-orders for the new M5 MacBook Air, M5 Pro MacBook Pro, and M4 iPad Air go live at retail. We have uncovered some notable pre-order deals on all of it, includingFREE $50 gift cards on the M5 MacBook Air, $100 gift cards on the M5 Pro MacBook Pro, and even a chance to save $50 on the new M4 iPad Air – you can score one as low as $249 with trade-ins. Those offers also join deals on a 1TB Mac mini, Apple Watch Ultra bands, and more down below.
Best M5 MacBook Air pre-order deals: FREE $50 gift card, up to $600 off w/ trade
The new M5 MacBook Air pre-orders are now live and there are actually some deals to be had even if you aren’t trading-in. Pre-orders are live on Amazon and we are very much hoping it will match the FREE gift cards offers you can score at Best Buy – it is offering a FREE $50 gift card on M5 MacBook Air pre-orders.

Update: We will update this post with the Amazon listings as soon as they are live.
As of right now, and likely right through the next month or so, the best M5 MacBook Air deals are largely going to rest in this bonus gift card offers. For me the Amazon gift card would be more valuable considering you can use it towards anything it sells, but the Best Buy option is really just as good for many folks.
If you’re not going to be trading in, these are the best deals around for the pre-order phase. Best Buy is advertising up to $600 in trade value towards the new M5 right now, just be sure to double check what Apple will give you first – Best Buy can be quite generous on new Apple releases, but it really depends on what you have to flip.
The new M5 MacBook Air lands nearly identical to the previous M4 model – we are tracking up to $300 off the M4 MacBook Air today with new Amazon all-time low pricing at the ready on select configurations. That said, there is of course some differences here including the more powerful state-of-the-art M5 chip powering the operation and a better charger bundled in the box.
M5 Pro MacBook Pro pre-order deals now live: FREE $100 gift card, up to $800 off with trade-in
It is time to take a look at the best M5 Pro MacBook Pro pre-order deals. Apple’s latest and greatest new pro-grade MacBook models are going up for pre-order today and we are now tracking a chance to land a FREE $100 gift card with purchases alongside some notable trade-in values that can effectively slash up to $800 off the cost of your new machine. These pre-order deals are now live at Best Buy and we are expecting Amazon to offer up some notable offers any minute now. Details below.
Best M5 Pro MacBook Pro pre-order deals
Update: The Amazon listings are now live, but we are yet to see a gift card offer.
As you can see above, there are FREE $100 gift cards available with pre-orders on just about all of the configurations available at major retailers. If you’re looking to customize your machine further, you will have to go straight to Apple or a local authorized dealer where you will also likely not get the bonus credit with your purchase.
We always recommend double checking trade-in values straight from Apple, and are once again here today. But considering the FREE credit available at retailers like Best Buy, and the up to $800 in trade-in value it is advertising on the new M5 Pro/Max machines, this is also an option that should be considered. You’re clearly going to get the most cash back from newer gear, but again, just be sure to double check both Best Buy and Apple and remember to factor in the $100 in FREE gift card credit to the values.
New M4 iPad Air pre-order deals now live: How to get $50 off, score one as low as $249 with trade-in
Alongside the now live pre-order deals on the new M5 MacBook Air and M5 Pro MacBook Pro with up to $100 in FREE gift cards, we are also starting to see listings live at retail on the new M4 iPad Air. While there are no direct gift card offers, Best Buy Plus and Total members can score one at $50 off, and you will want to double check the trade-in values you will get at retailers like Best Buy – you can score one as low as $249.

As of right now, we are not seeing any gift cards offers on the iPad Air lineup, as expected. This will likely remain true right through the pre-order phase.
There are, however, some trade-in deals up for grabs at Best Buy. You’ll, of course, want to check what Apple will give you as well just in case, but Best Buy can be generous with new Apple launches. It is also offering its Best Buy Plus and Total members $50 off the new Air models:
As of right now it is advertising the ability to land a new M4 iPad Air as low as $249 shipped with select trade-ins. You will need to have good condition gear and relatively new releases to see a price like that, but it is worth a shot to double check values just in case it offers you more than Apple will.
