For most people, the MacBook Air M5 works best in daily usage. If you’re someone who carries your laptop around a lot, the Air still does what it always did well. At full price, the MacBook Air M5 always feels slightly expensive for casual users. And if you’re already in the Apple ecosystem, sharing becomes easier too.
