- Is the M5 chip a big upgrade over the M4 Air?
- For everyday tasks the difference is modest; the M5 mainly helps with heavier photo and video work and longer sustained loads. If you already own an M-series Air, the larger screen matters more than the chip.
- How does it compare with the 13-inch MacBook Air?
- The 15-inch gives you a larger display and a bigger battery in a slightly heavier body. The 13-inch is easier to carry and otherwise offers the same chip, ports and design.
- Should I buy this or a MacBook Pro?
- Choose the Air for silence, light weight and battery life. The Pro is better for sustained video exports, high-refresh editing and more ports, but it is heavier and louder under load.
- Can I upgrade the memory or storage later?
- No. The 16 GB of memory and 1 TB SSD are soldered and fixed, so pick the configuration you need up front.
- What comes in the box?
- The laptop, a USB-C charging cable and a power adapter. No external mouse or case is included.
- Is the 15.3-inch screen good for photo and video editing?
- Yes for color-accurate Retina work and everyday editing. For HDR grading or high-frame-rate work, the Pro's brighter mini-LED display is the better fit.
