The latest 13-inch MacBook Air is available for $1,099.99, marking a $200 discount following summer price increases, according to The Verge.

Savings have been rare since July for the base model, which features an M5 processor, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage.

Amazon, Best Buy, and B&H Photo are honoring the price across all color options, The Verge reported. The configuration often sold between $950 and $1,000 shortly after its launch in May before the summer price hikes took effect.
