The 15-inch MacBook Air with the M5 chip is Apple's thin-and-light laptop for people who want a big screen without a big bag. It pairs a 10-core CPU and 10-core GPU with 24GB of memory and a 512GB SSD, and it stays fanless, so it runs silent under everyday loads. Against the 13-inch Air it gives you more screen for side-by-side work at a modest weight gain; against the MacBook Pro it gives up active cooling and the Pro's mini-LED display, so sustained heavy exports and pro workflows are where the Pro pulls ahead. Owners of earlier Airs praise the battery life and quiet operation, while people pushing long renders note that it throttles where a cooled laptop would not.

Reception of the M-series Air line is strongly positive: reviewers call it the default laptop for most people, citing silence, battery life and build. Criticism centers on the fanless chassis slowing under long sustained loads and on fixed memory and storage.
The MacBook Air 15" is a thin, light laptop powered by the M5 chip. It weighs 1.23 kilograms and is under 1.15 centimeters thin. The enclosure is recycled aluminum, and the laptop is made with over 50% recycled materials.
The M5 chip has a 10-core CPU and a 10-core GPU with a Neural Accelerator in each core. The GPU has third-generation hardware-accelerated ray tracing and Dynamic Caching. The design is fanless and silent. It supports Apple Intelligence, which processes data on the device and uses Private Cloud Compute for more complex requests.
Battery life is up to 18 hours, and fast charging reaches up to 50% in 30 minutes. It runs macOS and works with iPhone through Continuity features such as call and text answering, Universal Clipboard and iPhone Mirroring. A color-matched MagSafe charging cable comes with it.
