"Apple is bumping the Air's base storage from 256GB up to 512GB, and Apple says the storage will be up to twice as fast as the M4 MacBook Air. But that's also increasing the Air's starting price from $999 to $1,099 for the 13-inch model, and from $1,199 to $1,299 for the 15-inch model."
"Apple is offering two versions of the M5 in the new Airs: one with 8 GPU cores enabled, and one with all 10 GPU cores enabled. Upgrading to the fully-enabled chip will run you an extra $100, and you'll also need to have the fully-enabled chip to step up to the 24GB or 32GB RAM upgrades or the 1TB, 2TB, or 4TB storage upgrades."
"All versions of the M5 include a total of four high-performance cores-now dubbed "super cores"-and six efficiency cores. An Apple N1 Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chip rounds out the internal upgrades."
