Apple MacBook Air (M5)

The 15-inch MacBook Air with Apple's M5 chip gives you a bigger screen in a laptop that weighs 3.3 lb and is less than half an inch thin. It suits students, small business owners and creative users who want more room to work without carrying a heavy machine. This model comes in Sky Blue with 16GB of memory.

The M5 chip keeps things moving when you jump between many open apps and browser tabs, edit 4K video or play games, and because the design is fanless it runs silently. Every GPU core has a Neural Accelerator built in, so AI tasks such as image upscaling and running large language models on the Mac are handled more efficiently. Apple Intelligence features are built into macOS and its apps.

Apple rates the battery at up to 18 hours, so the laptop is designed for long days away from the charger. A fingerprint sensor gives you secure sign-in, and USB-C connectivity handles your accessories. If you like the MacBook Air's light, quiet design but want a larger display for side-by-side windows and bigger spreadsheets, this is the size to consider.
