Questions and answers

Is the M5 Air worth it over the M4 model?
If you already own an M4 Air, the jump is modest for everyday tasks. Buyers coming from an Intel Mac or an older M1 get a bigger speed and battery gain, and the M5 adds Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.
How long does the battery actually last?
Apple rates it at up to 18 hours. Real-world mixed use, such as browsing, email and video, typically lands well short of that but still covers a full workday.
Can I upgrade the RAM or storage later?
No. The 16GB of unified memory and 512GB SSD are soldered to the board, so choose the configuration you need at purchase.
What comes in the box?
The laptop, a USB-C Power Adapter, and a 2-meter USB-C to MagSafe 3 cable. No external mouse or hub is included.
Is the 13-inch screen big enough for photo or video editing?
The 2560 x 1664 panel is sharp and color-accurate, but 13.6 inches is tight for timelines and multi-panel apps. Many editors add an external monitor at a desk.
How does the M5 chip improve AI performance?
The M5 includes a next-generation GPU with Neural Accelerators and an updated Neural Engine. These hardware blocks are specifically designed to run Apple Intelligence features more fluidly than previous generations.
