Apple MacBook Air 13" M5 (10-core CPU, 10-core GPU), 24GB/1TB — Silver

The fullest 13-inch MacBook Air: the 10-core GPU, 24 GB of unified memory and a 1 TB SSD. If you are choosing an Air over a MacBook Pro but want it to last, this is the configuration that does it — memory and storage are both soldered at manufacture, so what you buy is what the machine has for its whole life.

The M5 runs a 10-core CPU of four super cores and six efficiency cores, a 16-core Neural Engine and 153GB/s of memory bandwidth. On Apple Silicon the memory pool is shared between CPU, GPU and Neural Engine, so 24 GB is what lets you keep a large photo library, a video timeline and a browser full of tabs open at once without the machine paging to disk.

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