Apple has introduced its latest MacBook Air, featuring the new M5 chip that significantly enhances performance, making it between 75% and 108% faster than the previous M1 model, depending on the task. This model starts at £1,099 for the 13-inch version, which is £100 more than last year's M4 variant but includes at least 512GB of storage.
Positioned as a mid-range option, the Air sits between the £599 MacBook Neo and the £1,699 M5 MacBook Pro. Visually, the laptop retains its sleek design with a recycled aluminium body and rounded corners, maintaining its status as Apple’s thinnest laptop.
The display measures 13.6 inches and boasts a resolution of 2560x1600, while the refresh rate remains at 60Hz. The device is equipped with up to 32GB of RAM and offers SSD options up to 4TB. Additionally, it features improved connectivity options with wifi 7 and Bluetooth 6.
