Our Verdict

The 15-inch MacBook Air M5 gives you a larger 15.3-inch Liquid Retina display in a laptop that is still thin and light enough to carry every day. It has 16GB of unified memory, a 512GB SSD, a 12MP Center Stage camera, Touch ID, Wi-Fi 7 and MagSafe charging. The bigger screen makes side-by-side windows, spreadsheets and photo editing more comfortable, which suits people who use their laptop as their main computer without an external monitor. The 16GB of memory gives it the same headroom as the 13-inch Air, while 512GB of storage is a sensible middle ground for most users. It is larger and heavier than the 13-inch models, so frequent travellers may prefer the smaller Air or the MacBook Neo. For a home or office laptop where screen space matters most, it is the pick of the Apple range here.
