"Apple unveiled a new MacBook Air today, and apart from the new M5 chip, things don't look remarkably different. Sure, it's getting a mild refresh, but maybe not in the way most people would want. Namely, it's more expensive - a $100 price bump across all models. In exchange, the MacBook Air M5 does get faster performance and double the storage."
"It's not worth jumping to the MacBook Air M5 if you've got the M4 unit already, but if you're working with an older model, then it may be worth the switch, especially if you're a professional. Like the rest of Apple's new suite of products, pre-orders start at 9:15AM ET on March 4."
"According to Apple, the MacBook Air M5's unified memory is 28 percent faster than the M4's, and the AI performance is 4x faster. Casual users likely won't feel the impact of the overall performance gains. But Apple claims that folks who are rendering 3D in Blender will see a 50 percent increase in speed."
Apple released the MacBook Air M5, featuring the new M5 chip with improved CPU and GPU performance, 28 percent faster unified memory, and 4x faster AI performance compared to the M4. The base storage doubles from 256GB to 512GB, and file transfer speeds double. However, the $100 price increase across all models accompanies only modest performance gains that casual users may not notice. Professional users working with 3D rendering in applications like Blender could see significant 50 percent speed improvements. The M5 maintains the same physical design as the M4, making them visually indistinguishable. Upgrading from an M4 is not recommended unless working with demanding professional applications.
