Amazon’s biggest sale of the year has started, and many buyers check Apple products first for a good deal. This year, the MacBook Neo is back in stock with some attractive offers, while the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro are also available at discounted prices.
The deals aren’t limited to laptops; iPads are also seeing price cuts during the sale, so it’s a good time to check current prices before stock runs out. I have picked out the MacBook and iPad deals that caught my attention during the sale.

The MacBook Neo has quickly become Apple’s best selling MacBook this year, but keeping it in stock has been a challenge. Since its launch, I have seen it go out of stock every few weeks, while price hikes have also affected its pricing. During this sale, however, you can get the MacBook Neo below its launch price. You can also bring the effective price down further with exchange and applicable bank offers, making this a deal worth checking if you have been waiting for this MacBook.
The iPad Air with the M4 chip is currently available at ₹74,999, which makes it one of the most interesting iPad deals in the sale. The 11-inch model should particularly appeal to students who want a powerful tablet with a larger display and long battery life without moving up to the iPad Pro. It also makes sense for existing iPad users looking for a meaningful performance upgrade without spending Pro-level money.
If you want an iPad that can handle demanding work and also offers one of the best displays Apple puts on a tablet, the M5 iPad Pro is the one to look at. The 11 inch model is still compact enough to carry around, while the Ultra Retina XDR display makes it particularly interesting for watching HDR content and creative work. It is expensive, but the sale makes more sense for buyers who actually need the extra performance and display quality.
The M5 MacBook Air is the MacBook I would look at if you want something light and portable without compromising too much on performance. The 13.6-inch display is spacious enough for everyday work, while 16GB of memory and 512GB of storage give it a much more comfortable configuration than the base MacBook Air. For students, professionals and people who travel regularly with their laptop, this is a more versatile option if the budget allows.
The 14 inch MacBook Pro is for people who need more than just a portable everyday laptop. Its M5 chip, 16GB memory and 1TB storage make it a much better fit for heavier workloads, while the Liquid Retina XDR display is a major step up if you work with photos, video or other visual content. I would not recommend spending extra on this model for basic office work, but for creators and professionals who can use the additional performance, it is worth considering during the sale.
