What to know about the MacBook Air 15-inch M5

The MacBook Air 15-inch M5 came out in March 2026. The model linked here has the M5 chip with a 10-core CPU and 10-core GPU, 16GB of unified memory and 512GB of storage, in Midnight, with an English keyboard.

Its 15.3-inch Liquid Retina display (2880 × 1864, 500 nits) leaves room for two windows side by side. It weighs 1.51 kg and is 1.15 cm thin, and its six-speaker system with force-cancelling woofers sounds fuller than the 13-inch's four speakers. The 66.5Wh battery is rated for up to 18 hours of video playback and 15 hours of wireless web.

What M5 changes over M4: starting storage doubles to 512GB with a faster SSD, the N1 chip adds Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6, and each GPU core gets a Neural Accelerator. Like the 13-inch, it stays fanless and silent.

Strengths and limits

Strengths

A big 15.3-inch screen in a 1.51 kg laptop.
Six speakers: the best sound in the Air lineup.
10-core GPU as standard, with 16GB and 512GB in the base model.
Up to 18 hours of rated video playback, with no fan.

Limits

Bigger footprint: at 34.04 × 23.76 cm it needs a 15-inch laptop bag.
Still just two Thunderbolt 4 ports plus MagSafe 3: plan on a hub for HDMI or SD cards.
Memory and storage can't be upgraded after purchase.
For heavy, sustained work (long video renders), an actively cooled MacBook Pro is still the better fit.

FAQ

MacBook Air 15 vs 13: what's the difference?
Mainly the screen (15.3 vs 13.6 inches), weight (1.51 vs 1.23 kg) and sound (six speakers vs four). The 15-inch always has a 10-core GPU. The M5 chip, rated battery life and ports are the same.

How big and heavy is the MacBook Air 15-inch?
According to Apple: 1.15 cm thick, 34.04 cm wide and 23.76 cm deep, weighing 1.51 kg.

Is the MacBook Air 15 M5 with 16GB / 512GB enough?
It's the base configuration, aimed at office work, browsing, photos and everyday projects. Since memory can't be added later, go for 24GB or 32GB if you keep many heavy apps open.
