Our Verdict

The 13-inch MacBook Air with Apple's M5 chip is the step up from the MacBook Neo for people who want more headroom. This configuration has 16GB of unified memory and a 1TB SSD, alongside a 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display, a 12MP Center Stage camera that keeps you framed on video calls, Touch ID and Wi-Fi 7. It charges over MagSafe, with a USB-C to MagSafe 3 cable in the box. Twice the memory of the Neo makes a real difference with many browser tabs, photo editing and running several apps together, and the 1TB drive leaves plenty of room for a local photo or music library. Its buyer rating is the highest in this category, though from a smaller number of reviews. Choose it if you want a light 13-inch laptop to keep for many years. If you mostly browse and stream, the MacBook Neo covers that for less.
