Editor's Pick: Apple has officially released the new M5 MacBook Air, maintaining its thin and light design while completing a "core configuration upgrade" without changing the exterior appearance.
This upgrade focuses on three main areas:
1️⃣ Double the Storage
Base configuration has been upgraded from 256GB to starting at 512GB, and for the first time supports up to 4TB SSD.
2️⃣ Wireless Connectivity Upgrade
Equipped with Apple's in-house N1 wireless chip, supporting Wi-Fi 7 + Bluetooth 6.
3️⃣ M5 Chip Enhancement
Features new generation CPU and GPU architecture, with Neural Accelerator added to each core, significantly improving AI-related task processing efficiency.
Apple claims AI performance is several times better than the previous generation (specific performance still needs real-world testing).
Pricing:
- 13-inch: Starting at $1099
- 15-inch: Starting at $1299
- Compared to the previous generation, prices have increased by $100, but with double the base storage capacity. With storage prices remaining high these days, it still offers excellent value for money.
Battery life remains at up to 18 hours, continuing the Air series' positioning of being thin, light, and having long battery life.
Pre-orders begin March 4, with official release on March 11.
This generation is more like a baseline specification upgrade, making it more suitable for students, business professionals for everyday office work, and light creative users.

: No big difference. Most routers aren't Wi-Fi 7 anyway, so upgrading wouldn't make much sense. 没啥区别, 大部分路由器都不是wifi7, 上了也意义不大
: WiFi 7 is more about impressive specs on paper, but in reality, WiFi 6 already offers performance that exceeds most needs, so there's no noticeable difference in everyday use. wifi7 更多的是参数上的强大，实际上 wifi6 都性能溢出了，从体感上没什么区别。

: Deceiving and cheating, another year has passed. 欺欺騙騙又一年
: Not bad, but when will the screen refresh rate and notch be improved? It would be great if the Air could have a 90Hz refresh rate. 还行, 就是屏幕刷新率和刘海啥时候改改, air刷新率上90也好呀
: Isn't there a legendary entry-level MacBook? 没有传说中的入门级MacBook 吗
: There will be another chance tomorrow. 明天还有机会

回复 @匿名用户 : Siri doesn't run any model at all; it's just a voice interpreter that sends information to the cloud, searches there, and then returns the results locally. Let's wait until the so-called AI version of Siri comes out (not optimistic). The unit for measuring model-running capability is FLOPs. The M5 only has 5.7, the M4 only 4.4, and the RTX Pro 5000 6G—I remember that machine had a dedicated graphics card, right? (Not sure if my memory is correct). Workstation chips and laptop chips are simply not on the same level. If you really want to compare, at least use an M5 Pro. Siri 根本没有套模型，只是一个语音解读，发送信息到云，云搜索后再回到本地。等所谓的AI版Siri 出来再说吧（不看好）。跑模型的能力单位是FLOPs，m5才5.7，m4才4.4，rtx pro 50006g，那机器上我记得好像是独立显卡吧（不知道是否记忆有错），工作站的芯片和笔记本比，根本不在一个档次，硬要比也最起码拿个m5p吧。
回复 @匿名用户 : No innovation at all, just like Nokia back in the day, or even worse than Nokia. At least Nokia innovated in form factor with each generation, even if the chips weren't great. But Apple has no innovation; every generation is just about stacking specs, and every generation is overkill in performance. For most people now, the M1 is already more than enough. Releasing up to the M5 Max is completely meaningless. 没有任何创新，跟当年的诺基亚一样，甚至不如诺基亚。诺基亚至少每一代形态上创新，即使芯片不行。但是苹果没有任何创新，每一代都在堆料，每一代都是性能过剩。现在绝大多数人拿着M1其实就够用，现在出到M5 max毫无意义
: This SSD has doubled its speed and starting capacity. I'm curious if Apple just plugged in two of them directly?![[种草]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_zhongcao@2x.png?v=1)
这个ssd速度翻倍，起步容量也翻倍，好奇苹果是不是直接插了两根上去呢![[种草]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_zhongcao@2x.png?v=1)
: With this kind of configuration, I still won't buy it. 这种配置，我还是不买
: Finally natively supports two external monitors. 终于原生支持两台外接显示器了
: Doesn't the M4 already support it? 不是m4就支持了？
: A computer from 2010 could already connect to 6 monitors. 2010年的电脑就可以连接6台显示器了
