MacBook Air M5 review: a tidy speed bump that sits neatly between Neo and Pro
Apple’s 2026 MacBook Air M5 adds an M5 chip with a 10‑core CPU/GPU, faster storage and Wi‑Fi 7 to a familiar, slim 15‑inch chassis, delivering solid everyday performance and long battery life. The Air remains a best‑in‑class mid‑range option, but the new MacBook Neo offers a cheaper alternative, and the Pro line still targets heavier workloads; upgrade mainly if you’re on an older Mac or need futureproofing for demanding tasks.
