15-inch MacBook Air

What to consider when choosing your processing power.

M5 is an incredibly powerful Apple silicon chip. The CPU and GPU work together with unified memory to give you phenomenal speed and capability. A Neural Accelerator in each GPU core, along with a 16‑core Neural Engine, brings even more power to on‑device AI.

You can choose between two M5 chip configurations for this MacBook Air. Both are fast and capable, with a 10-core CPU and a 16-core Neural Engine.

The difference is in the number of GPU cores. One chip has an 8-core GPU, while the other has a 10-core GPU.

Next-generation speed and powerful on-device AI for the personal, professional, and creative tasks you do every day.

Storage

Mac uses fast SSD storage¹ to store your apps, documents, photos, movies, music, and other files and libraries.

How much storage you need depends on how you use your Mac. The more storage you have, the more files your Mac can hold and the faster it can access them when needed.

A good way to figure out your storage needs is to check how much storage you’re using on your current computer. On a Mac, go to System Settings > General > Storage. If you’re nearing your limit, it’s a good idea to consider a larger capacity.

Note: Storage is not user accessible. If you think you’ll need more internal storage in the future, you’ll want to select your capacity with that in mind now.
