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.

Microsoft Hikes Surface Prices, Making PCs Costlier Than Macs

Microsoft raised prices on all Surface PCs, lifting mid-range models above $1,000 and starting configurations at $1,500. For example, the 12-inch Surface Pro now starts at $1,049, the 13-inch Surface Pro at $1,499, the 13-inch Surface Laptop at $1,149, the 13.8-inch Laptop at $1,499, and the 15-inch Laptop at $1,599. The higher prices make many Surface configurations pricier than their Mac equivalents (Apple’s MacBook Air rose to $1,099 with the M5), and Windows Central notes additional Surface price increases are planned later this year amid ongoing memory-cost pressures and global shortages.

Neo vs Air: Which MacBook Fits Your Use Case in 2026

Hands-on testing shows the MacBook Air with the M5 chip is the stronger all-around pick for most buyers, thanks to faster storage, more RAM at base, better ports, longer battery life, and better performance. The MacBook Neo is a cheaper option (about $500 less) with 8GB RAM, limited ports (one USB-C with USB 2.0), slower SSD, a single 4K external monitor limit, and weaker speakers/webcam—making it better suited for students or as a secondary, occasional-use device. Choose Air for heavy use; Neo can work if you mainly need a budget machine for nights/weekends.
