"The MacBook Air M5 is $100 more expensive than last year, starting at $1,099, but it comes with double the starting local storage at 512GB and twice as fast read and write speeds as the previous generation. Also, for the first time, the MacBook Air will support up to 4TB of local storage."
"The new M5 processor features a 10-core CPU and 10-core GPU, with Apple citing speeds 9.5 times faster than the MacBook Air M1. It also features Apple's N1 wireless chip for improved connectivity, supporting Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6, and backing up its thin and light form factor with physical portability."
"Last year, the MacBook Air M4 standardized the minimum starting RAM at 16GB, and that stays the same this year, bringing the MacBook Air a little closer to the Pro in terms of hardware and capabilities. It also features the same 18-hour battery life and comes in the same colorways: Silver, Sky Blue, Starlight, and Midnight."
