It can handle up to 32GB of unified memory and up to 4TB of SSD storage for the very first time.
The new SSD also has two times faster read-write speeds than the previous model.
The M5 chip can also handle gaming.
We're talking better 3D rendering thanks to the improved power with the M5.
In fact, it is four times faster when computing AI commands and tasks and 9.5 times faster than the MacBook Air with M1.
So an example of what you can do, Apple listed these.
I didn't test these for myself, but they're their own lab testing, up to 6.9 times faster AI video enhancement when compared to MacBook Air with M1, nearly twice as fast as MacBook Air with M4.
6.5 times faster 3D rendering with ray tracing performance in Blender than when compared to MacBook Air with M1, up to one and a half times faster than MacBook Air with M4.
So one and a half times faster than last year's model.
That's pretty impressive.
And there are more that you can read on our story there as well.
It is slightly more expensive.
It is $100 more expensive.
But you are getting twice the storage, though.
It did come with 256 for $1699.
The 13-inch now has 512 gig for $1799.
MacBook, the 15-inch MacBook Air with M5 starts at $2199, and again, twice the storage as well.
Colors are sky blue, midnight, starlight, and silver.
We got the sky blue, and you can see them in our photos.
That's my hand in the photos there.
