Our take on the Apple MacBook Air 15-inch M5 16GB RAM 1TB SSD

The 15.3-inch MacBook Air with the M5 chip is Apple's big-screen thin-and-light, now with a 10-core CPU and 10-core GPU, 16GB of unified memory and a 1TB SSD. It stays fanless and quiet, weighs about 3.3 pounds, and pairs a 2880x1864 Liquid Retina display at 500 nits with up to 18 hours of rated battery life. Against the 13-inch Air it gives you a much larger screen for a modest weight gain; against the MacBook Pro it trades the Pro's mini-LED 120Hz display and active cooling for silence and lower weight. It suits writers, students and general users who want screen space more than sustained heavy-load performance.

What reviewers say

Owners of the 15-inch Air line consistently praise the big screen, silence and battery life, and the M-series chips handle everyday work and light editing easily. Complaints focus on the two-port layout, the lack of a high-refresh display, and slowdowns during long exports or other sustained heavy work.

What people mention
  • DisplayPraisedOwners like the large, bright 15.3-inch panel for side-by-side windows and everyday media.
  • PortsCriticisedReviewers say two Thunderbolt ports fill up fast and often require a dongle or hub.
  • BatteryPraisedUsers report getting through a full workday on one charge.
  • Fanless designMixedSilence is welcome day to day, but long exports and heavy renders slow down without active cooling.
  • Refresh rateCriticisedThe 60Hz screen is called out as a step behind ProMotion displays on the MacBook Pro.
  • WeightPraisedBuyers find it easy to carry for a laptop with this much screen.

Questions and answers

Is the M5 MacBook Air 15-inch good for video editing?
It handles 4K clips and light timelines well, but the fanless body slows during long exports and heavy effects work. For sustained editing, a MacBook Pro with active cooling is the better fit.
How does it compare with the 13-inch MacBook Air?
Same chip and port layout, but the 15-inch gives you a much larger display and a bigger footprint. It weighs more, so pick the 13-inch if portability matters most.
Can I upgrade the RAM or storage later?
No. The 16GB of unified memory and 1TB SSD are soldered and fixed at purchase, so choose the configuration you'll need for the life of the laptop.
What's in the box?
The 15-inch MacBook Air, a 40W Dynamic Power Adapter with 60W max output, and a 2-meter USB-C to MagSafe 3 cable. No mouse or sleeve is included.
Does it have a touchscreen?
No. The 15.3-inch Liquid Retina display is not touch-enabled, and macOS is built around the trackpad and keyboard.
How many external displays can it drive?
With the lid closed it can run up to two external displays over Thunderbolt, which covers most desk setups. Check your specific monitor resolution before relying on it.
