Apple just introduced the M5 MacBook Air and the all-new MacBook Neo, and I went hands-on to see what's actually different between them.At first glance, they look similar — thin, lightweight, and very Apple. But once you start digging in, the differences become pretty dramatic.The MacBook Air with M5 is built around Apple's latest silicon with a 10-core CPU and up to a 10-core GPU, faster memory bandwidth, Thunderbolt ports, better speakers, and longer battery life. ïMeanwhile, the MacBook Neo is Apple's new budget laptop starting around $599, powered by the A18 Pro chip, with fewer ports, less memory, and a smaller battery — but at nearly half the price of the Air. ïIn this video, I break down:• Design differences• Performance differences between A18 Pro and M5• Display, speakers, and camera changes• Ports and connectivity• Battery life• Who should buy the Neo vs the AirIf you're trying to decide whether the cheaper MacBook Neo is enough, or if the M5 MacBook Air is worth the upgrade, this hands-on comparison should help you figure it out.Real quick — if you want to keep up to date with all the latest Apple news, rumors, and reviews, make sure to hit that subscribe button!Chapters 0:00 Intro0:57 Design2:43 A18 Pro VS M55:00 Battery Life5:33 Ports, Wi-Fi, Speaker, & Camera8:50 Keyboard & Trackpad10:37 Which to buy?Shop AppleInsider merch https://cottonbureau.com/people/appleinsiderGrab the LOWEST prices on Apple gear! 👇Macs - https://prices.appleinsider.com/current-geniPads - https://prices.appleinsider.com/ipadApple Watches - https://prices.appleinsider.com/apple-watchAirPods - https://prices.appleinsider.com/apple-airpodsAppleInsider may earn commission on purchases made through affiliate links and may receive products for the purpose of review.Ethics policy: https://appleinsider.com/help/ethics/Follow our social channels! 👇Twitter - https://twitter.com/appleinsider/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/AppleInsiderdotcom/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/appleinsider/Download our iOS app - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/appleinsider/id578462575New here?
