Frequently asked questions about this product
How good is the display on this MacBook Air 15-inch M5 16 GB Silver?
A 15.3-inch Liquid Retina panel at 2880 × 1864, with 500 nits of brightness and coverage of the P3 gamut, plus True Tone, which adapts the display's colour tone to the ambient light. The resolution and colour accuracy are suited to photo work.
What battery life is quoted for this MacBook Air 15-inch M5 16 GB Silver?
Up to 18 hours of video playback. This is Apple's reference measurement: a working day with browsing, video calls and open applications uses more. Fast charging brings the battery back to 50% in 30 minutes.
How good is the M5 chip in this MacBook Air 15-inch M5 16 GB Silver?
It combines 10 CPU cores, a 10-core GPU and a 16-core Neural Engine dedicated to AI processing run on the machine itself. All without a fan, so it is completely silent.
What do the 16 GB of memory bring to this MacBook Air 15-inch M5 16 GB Silver?
Headroom for demanding workloads: video editing, lots of open tabs or AI models run locally. This memory is unified — shared by the CPU, the graphics and the Neural Engine — at 120 GB/s, with no intermediate copying.
What ports does this MacBook Air 15-inch M5 16 GB Silver have?
Two Thunderbolt 4 ports in USB-C format, a MagSafe 3 magnetic charging connector and a 3.5 mm headphone jack. MagSafe leaves both USB-C ports free for peripherals and comes away if someone trips over the cable.
How do you unlock this MacBook Air 15-inch M5 16 GB Silver?
With Touch ID, the fingerprint reader built into the power button of the backlit AZERTY Magic Keyboard. A touch of your finger logs you in, approves a purchase or fills in a saved password, with no typing on the keyboard.
Which charger comes with this MacBook Air 15-inch M5 16 GB Silver?
A 70 W USB-C adapter: charging goes through the MagSafe 3 magnetic connector, which comes away if someone trips over the cable rather than dragging the machine with it, and leaves both Thunderbolt ports available for peripherals.
Is the camera on this MacBook Air 15-inch M5 16 GB Silver suitable for video calls?
Yes: a 12 MP Center Stage camera that keeps you centred in the frame as you move, with Desk View to film your desk at the same time. Six speakers with Dolby Atmos spatial audio complete the set-up.
How much does this MacBook Air 15-inch M5 16 GB Silver weigh?
1.51 kg, in a 100% recycled aluminium chassis — a material that stands up to daily transport better than plastic. And since the machine has no fan, it also stays perfectly silent.
Is this MacBook Air 15-inch M5 16 GB Silver new and ready to use?
Yes, it is new and sealed, with the purchase invoice serving as the warranty document. It comes with a 1 TB SSD and a Wi-Fi 6E card: all that is left is to sign in with your Apple Account to get started.
