The update includes a new MacBook Air powered by Apple’s latest M5 chip and higher-end MacBook Pro models equipped with the new M5 Pro and M5 Max processors, which the company says deliver significant gains in performance and on-device AI capabilities.
The 13-inch MacBook Air starts at $1 099 and now comes with 512 gigabytes of storage as standard, double the base storage of the previous generation. In the older lineup, customers had to pay $1 199 to get a 512GB configuration, making the new starting price effectively a price cut for the same storage tier.
Since transitioning from Intel processors to its in-house M-series chips beginning in 2020, Apple has touted gains in performance and battery life, helping it differentiate from Windows-based PC makers.
