Apple 15" MacBook Air (M5, Starlight)
Supercharged with the M5 chip, the Apple 15" MacBook Air brings even more performance and AI-powered capabilities compared to its predecessor. Built on 3nm process technology, the M5 10-Core Chip is combined with a powerful next-generation 10-Core GPU. A powerful Neural Accelerator in each GPU core makes this compact and lightweight laptop capable of intensive AI workflows, whether you're running Apple Intelligence at home or LLMs at the office.

Now supporting double the starting storage, equip your MacBook Air with 1TB of SSD storage and 24GB of unified RAM for tackling large file sizes and launching intensive apps quickly.

The powerful Neural Engine in the M5 delivers up to 4x faster performance for AI tasks compared to the M4, and up to 9.5x faster than the M1, making it highly capable for AI workflows.

The new SSD also delivers 2x faster read/write performance compared to the previous generation, allowing for creators to import large photo libraries and students to run AI workloads faster than ever.
15.3" Liquid Retina Display
The MacBook Air features the 15.3" Liquid Retina Display, with support for one billion colors. The 2880 x 1864 resolution provides crisp text. The 500-nit brightness and wide P3 color gamut ensure that photos and movies are brilliant and vivid, complete with rich contrast and sharp detail. With True Tone technology, the display delivers a more natural viewing experience for design and editing workflows as well as everyday tasks like browsing the web and writing emails.
Take Center Stage
The 12MP Center Stage camera helps you look sharp in any light. Center Stage keeps you centered in the frame as you move around. Sound clear and crisp with the three-mic array for enhanced voice clarity. Spatial Audio and Dolby Atmos brings an immersive sound system when listening to music or watching movies, creating a three-dimensional soundstage.
Thunderbolt 4 & MagSafe 3
Thunderbolt 4 combines ultrahigh bandwidth with the versatility of the USB-C industry standard to create one revved-up universal port. It integrates data transfer, charging, and video output in a single connector, delivering up to 40 Gb/s of throughput for twice the bandwidth of Thunderbolt 2. Existing devices are easily connected with a cable or adapter. And Thunderbolt 4 is reversible, so no matter how you plug in, it's always right side up. MagSafe 3 makes connecting a power cable quick and easy while also protecting your MacBook Air. Apple also brings fast charging to the MacBook Air, allowing you to charge up to 50% in just 30 minutes.
