Our take on the Apple MacBook Air 15 M5

The MacBook Air 15 M5 is Apple's large-screen thin-and-light laptop, pairing a 15-inch Retina display with the M5 chip and a fanless design. It weighs 3.3 lb and Apple rates battery life at up to 18 hours, so it covers a full workday away from an outlet. It suits people who want a big screen without a heavy machine: writers, students, office workers and light creators. Against the 13-inch Air it buys screen space for a little more weight; against the MacBook Pro it gives up the brighter mini-LED screen, extra ports and sustained performance under long loads. Owners praise the screen, silence and battery, while some complain the port count and base memory are tight for the money.

Questions and answers

Is the M5 Air 15 worth it over the 13-inch Air?
If you work in split windows, edit photos or watch video often, the larger screen is the main reason to pick it. The 13-inch is lighter and easier to pack, so choose that if portability matters more than screen space.
Can it handle video editing and gaming?
It handles short 4K edits and casual games well, but the fanless body throttles during long exports and sustained gaming. For heavy timelines, a MacBook Pro with a fan is the better fit.
How much memory should I get?
16 GB is fine for browsing, office work and light editing. Choose 24 GB or 32 GB if you keep many apps and browser tabs open or edit large photo and video files, since memory cannot be upgraded later.
What is in the box?
You get the laptop and a USB-C charging cable; the power adapter is sold separately in some regions, so check before ordering. It does not include a hub, mouse or sleeve.
Does it work with my Windows accessories?
Most USB-C drives, monitors and keyboards work, but older USB-A devices need an adapter or hub. Bluetooth mice and keyboards pair normally.
How does it compare with the MacBook Pro 14?
The Pro has a brighter mini-LED screen, more ports, a fan for sustained speed and better speakers. The Air is lighter, silent and cheaper, which suits everyday work better than heavy production.
