Apple is launching an upgraded MacBook Air featuring the M5 chip along with new MacBook Pro models featuring the M5 Pro and M5 Max. Announced on Tuesday, the new Macs will all be available for pre-order starting March 4th with availability in stores starting March 11th.
In addition to the M5 chip, the new MacBook Air also includes double the base storage previous generations included, starting at 512GB. Apple says the SSD in the M5 MacBook Air is faster, as well, offering “2x faster read/write performance compared to the previous generation.” The M5 MacBook Air also supports Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6. Unfortunately, it has a higher starting price than the M4 MacBook Air at $1,099 for the 13-inch model or $1,299 for the 15-inch.
