Apple MacBook Air 13" M5 (10-core CPU, 10-core GPU), 16GB/1TB — Midnight

The 13-inch MacBook Air in Midnight, with the full 10-core GPU and a 1 TB SSD. Midnight is the darkest of the four finishes and the one that reads most like a work machine rather than a personal one.

Inside, the M5 combines a 10-core CPU, the full 10-core GPU, a 16-core Neural Engine and 153GB/s of memory bandwidth with 16 GB of unified memory. The two extra GPU cores over the entry model matter for video export and 3D; the terabyte of storage matters for everyone, since Apple SSDs cannot be upgraded after purchase.

The 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display runs 2560 × 1664 at 500 nits. MagSafe 3, two Thunderbolt 4 ports and a headphone jack; Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6 and Thread; a 12 MP Center Stage camera with Desk View; four speakers and a three-mic array; and a 53.8 Wh battery rated up to 18 hours of video streaming. Fanless, 1.24 kg, completely silent. Note: this unit is supplied without a power adapter. The MXN53 adapter must be purchased separately.
