- Is 24GB of memory worth it over the base model?
- If you keep many browser tabs, run virtual machines or edit photos and video, yes. For email, browsing and documents, the base memory is enough.
- Can I add more storage later?
- No. The SSD is soldered to the logic board, so choose the 1TB model if you expect a large media library.
- How does it compare with the MacBook Pro?
- The Air is thinner, lighter and silent, but the Pro has a fan, a brighter mini-LED display and more ports for sustained heavy work.
- Does it have a fan?
- No. The M5 chip is cooled passively, so the laptop is silent but throttles under long sustained loads.
- What is in the box?
- The laptop, a USB-C charging cable and a power adapter. A hub is needed for HDMI, SD cards or extra USB-A devices.
- How many external displays can it drive?
- With the lid closed it supports up to two external displays; with the lid open it drives one, so check your setup before buying.
