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.

Apple TV 2026: A17 Pro Power, Siri Delayed to iOS 27

Apple’s 2026 Apple TV is expected to keep the same design but gain a new A-series chip (likely the A17 Pro, with possible A18/A19) and potentially more RAM, while new Siri/Apple Intelligence features are postponed to iOS 27 in September 2026; launch is anticipated in fall 2026, possibly alongside a two-model lineup with different specs and prices. The device may also adopt Wi‑Fi 7 (N1) with 6GHz support and Bluetooth 6 with Thread for smart‑home integration.

iPad Air 11 M4 2026 review: power boost with few cosmetic updates

Apple's iPad Air 11 M4 (2026) gains a meaningful performance upgrade thanks to the M4 chip, delivering smooth everyday use and strong benchmarks, while design, display (60 Hz IPS), cameras and exterior remain largely unchanged; Wi‑Fi 7 and 128 GB base storage are notable upgrades, but higher storage options stay pricey. At around €600, it offers excellent price‑to‑performance for cloud-based workflows, provided you don’t need OLED or Pro‑level features and you’re okay with 60 Hz and modest outdoor brightness.

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

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.

Silent Power: Apple’s MacBook Air 15 M5 Sets a New Standard for Fanless Laptops

Notebookcheck’s review hails the MacBook Air 15 M5 as a powerful, completely fanless laptop with excellent efficiency, delivering strong single‑core performance and capable gaming without throttling, aided by Wi‑Fi 7 and PCIe 4.0 SSDs. It still has soldered RAM/storage, a 60 Hz IPS display, and limited ports, but offers long battery life (~17 hours web browsing at 150 nits) and a premium build for a starting price of $1,299. While the Pro line may beat it on display and features, the Air M5 stands out in the 15‑inch, fanless segment.

Netgear Unveils Its Most Affordable Wi-Fi 7 Mesh System Yet

Netgear has introduced the affordable Wi-Fi 7 mesh system, Orbi 370, priced at $350 for a router and two satellites. While it offers a total bandwidth of 5 Gbps and is suitable for moderate Wi-Fi needs, it has limitations such as only dual-band support and a 2.5 Gbps internet port, missing some of Wi-Fi 7's advanced features. It is a cost-effective option for households with less demanding internet requirements.
