M5 MacBook Air: Bigger storage, AI-boosted performance

Apple’s MacBook Air shifts from M4 to the new M5, replacing the model and pricing at $1,099 (13") / $1,299 (15"). The M5 doubles base storage to 512GB (up to 4TB), raises memory bandwidth to 153 GB/s with 3nm N3P, and adds a Neural Accelerator per GPU core with Metal 4/Tensor APIs. Real‑world AI/workload gains are substantial (up to 4x GPU compute, 3.6x LLM speed), while everyday tasks see smaller but meaningful improvements. For new buyers, the M5 is the clearer long‑term choice; M4 is discontinued; education pricing can trim about $100.

iPad Air M4 review: a meaningful speed bump that still sits behind the Pro

The iPad Air M4 adds an M4 chip, a C1X cellular modem, and an N1 for Wi‑Fi 7/Bluetooth 6/Thread, delivering roughly 20–25% faster CPU and 10–15% faster GPU versus the M3 Air; the upgrade is noticeable but not transformative, Pro models remain the better choice for power users, and the $599 price with 128GB base storage is a caveat—upgrade if you’re on older iPads, otherwise you can likely skip this year’s bump.

M4 iPad Air Benchmarks Point to Notable Performance Gains Over M3

Geekbench results for the 13-inch M4 iPad Air (Wi‑Fi + Cellular) show about a 17.3% improvement in single‑core and 7.9% in multi‑core CPU performance over the M3 iPad Air, with scores around 3438/3714 (test pairs) and 12885/12296 (multi, averaged to 3576 single‑core and 12591 multi‑core).

The new model is available for pre‑order at 6:15 a.m. PT tomorrow, with a March 11 launch.
