Here are the features of the recently launched Apple’s product:

MacBook Air features

The MacBook Air features 13-inch and 15-inch displays and comes with 512GB instead of 256GB, equipped with the company’s native N1 wireless chip with improved Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity.

The latest MacBook Air consists of a similar Apple's Center Stage webcam, with the frame even if you move, during your chats, as well as 18 hours of battery life.

Apple has integrated the M5 Pro for well, pro users, and the M5 Max for people who require even more horsepower.

With the M5 Pro chip, the MacBook Pro is able to process 6.9x faster LLM prompt processing as compared to the M1 Pro, while the MacBook Pro with the M5 Max provides 8x faster AI image generation as compared to the MacBook Pro with the M1 Max.

The company has touted the MacBook Pro with M5 Pro's 3D rendering performance, claiming that it is 5.2x faster as compared to the MacBook Pro with the M1 Pro chip, and that the M5 Max variant provides 5.4x faster performance.

As with the Air, Apple has brought a significant update with the MacBook Pro's base storage from 512GB in the M4 Pro to 1TB for the M5 Pro. The M5 Max model now gets 2TB, in contrast to the M4 Max's 1TB.
