  There is no better way to showcase the new MacBook Air with M5 than allow its unveiling flow to the rhythm of Fela Anikulapo Kuti whose Afrobeat genre of music defines a category globally. Powerful and durable...yet thin & light! True for both Legends! 🎶 [video]

• @alz_zyd_ @alz_zyd_ on x

  I generally dislike Apple but the Macbook Air is obviously the perfect laptop

• @raywongy Ray Wong on x

  New M5 MacBook Air has double the base storage (512GB vs. 256GB) for $100 more ($1,100 vs. $1,000) That is a fucking steal in this economy esp with the storage shortage going on [image]

• @adrianweckler Adrian Weckler on x

  Apple has announced new MacBook Air M5 and MacBook Pro today. Good news 1: twice the base storage Good news 2: no price increase here in € (but $100 more in US! Trump tariff!) Bad news: no charging adapters included anymore (charged separately!) [image]

• @mkbhd Marques Brownlee on x

  Apple doing the same thing as S26 phones from Samsung - higher base prices, but also higher base storage Macbook Air goes from $999 to $1099 but also starts at 512GB instead of 256GB Macbook Pro (M5 Pro) goes from $1999 to $2199 but now starts at 1TB instead of 512GB

• @joannastern Joanna Stern on x

  New MacBooks with M5 chips are here but the BIG upgrade? More base storage across lineup. MacBook Air at 512GB. MacBook Pro now starts at 1TB. Storage!! [image]

• @leakerapple @leakerapple on x

  The new MacBook Air is here with M5! - Starts at 512GB base storage and 16GB RAM - M5 chip with 10 core CPU and 8/10 Core GPU - Starts at $1099 ($100 more but double the storage) Base configuration is the perfect laptop for 99% of people.

• @mweinbach Max Weinbach on x

  MacBook Air now starts at 512GB storage and MacBook Pro at 1TB It was previously 256GB and 512GB at their lower prices

  The bending over backwards this morning to spin up the idea Apple isn't raising prices is absurd. It's not even Apple doing it either! They were pretty transparent on the earnings call this would be happening.

• @awnihannun Awni Hannun on x

  M5 Max is a local AI powerhouse in a laptop form factor. So awesome to see this thing released. Up to 8x faster prefill / image generation compared to M1 Max. Benchmarks done with MLX / mlx-lm. [image]

• @stevemoser Steve Moser on x

  I'm bummed we didn't get an event or video from Apple on the new M5 Pro and M5 Max given how big of a change they are i.e. “super cores” and new fusion chiplet design. Also it is nice to see the SSD improvements on the new Macbook Pro. I find it odd that Apple doesn't call out [i…

• @leyeconnect Leye on x

  Apple is leaves you confused at whether they are a consumer company or an advertising company Such brilliance😂🙌

• @markgurman Mark Gurman on x

  As part of the price increases, the MacBook Air moves from 256 GB of storage at the base to 512 GB, while the MacBook Pro goes to 1 terabyte at the base (2TB for the M5 Max models). The October M5 MacBook Pro 14-inch also goes up, from $1599 to $1699.

  a 15" m5 macbook air might be the ideal laptop ... if it had a 120hz screen i don't need a powerful machine anymore i offloaded most of my dev stuff to mac studio... i just need to ssh from a beautiful thin and lightweight machine

• @vadimyuryev Vadim Yuryev on x

  Dang! I was wrong! Looks like they forced storage upgrades so we have higher prices. Helps Apple eat the cost of RAM.

• @vadimyuryev Vadim Yuryev on x

  Update: ok so Apple is playing massive marketing tricks to make it sound better than it is. Renaming Perfomance cores to super cores. M5 Max is only 15% faster than M4 Max. It's not nearly as good as it sounds..

• @ijustine @ijustine on x

• @brandonbutch Brandon Butch on x

  A big takeaway from today's Mac announcements: MacBook Air prices have increased $999 → $1099 MacBook Pro from $1999 → $2199 BUT.. Starting storage has doubled: MBA: 256GB → 512GB M5 Pro MBP: 512GB → 1TB M5 Max MBP: 1TB → 2TB

• @joshkale Josh Kale on x

  Apple just dropped the M5 Max MacBook Pro and it's an AI Powerhouse. 4x faster AI Compute over M4 Max.  These Specs are insane: - 18-core CPU with 6 “super cores” = world's fastest CPU core - 40-core GPU = rivals an RTX 4070 in a laptop - 128GB unified memory = more than most ser…

• @markgurman Mark Gurman on x

  Apple updated its two main laptop computer lines, adding faster processors to the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro and hiking prices amid an industry-wide memory crunch. https://www.bloomberg.com/...

• @lukemiani Luke Miani on x

  New M5 Macs have DOUBLED their base storage- including the already released M5 14" BUT there's a catch- price increases of $100 for the M5 Air and Pro and $200 for M5 Pro I bet this is Apples way of offsetting DRAM pricing, softening the blow by adding SSD which is cheaper [image…

• @rjonesy Ryan Jones on x

  MBA M5 doesn't support two 6K 120Hz. MBP M5 Max doesn't support two 6K 120Hz. So 32" XDR seems dead dead. SAD

• @neilcybart Neil Cybart on x

  Day 2 of Apple's Spring Product Launch week. It's a busy one. 1) MacBook Air (M5) - $1,099 ($100 price increase, although starting storage has doubled from M4). 2) M5 Pro and M5 Max chips. 3) MacBook Pro (M5 Pro and M5 Max) - $200 price increases vs. M4 family, although [image]

  Studio Display XDR is 5K/27 inches, has 2000 nit HDR, and does 120hz. This monitor is The Chosen One. The interesting thing though is that you can get Pro Display XDR used for about the same price now. Only 60Hz sure, but 6K/32 inch. https://www.apple.com/...

• @danliu Dan Liu on x

  tldr: we've all been asking for a studio display in the shell of pro display xdr (cheaper 32in) but apple gave us pro display xdr in the shell of studio display (fancy 27in) [image]

• @vadimyuryev Vadim Yuryev on x

  This pretty much confirms that if we get a new iMac Pro, it will have a 27" display. No more 32" from Apple. Too expensive.

• @raywongy Ray Wong on x

  RIP Pro Display XDR New Apple Studio Display XDR replaces it There's now no option for an Apple-made monitor larger than 27 inches. Pro Display XDR was 32 inches and 6K [image]

• @classicii_mrmac Mr. Macintosh on x

  RIP Apple Pro-Display XDR Monitor December 10, 2019 - March 3, 2026 🪦💐 The 32" Apple Pro Display XDR has been replaced by the new 27" Studio Display XDR, which now uses the same enclosure as the standard Studio Display. The Mac Pro inspired cheese grater design is gone. [image]

• @tailosivetech @tailosivetech on x

  Heads up to Studio Display XDR buyers who want the 120HZ [image]

• @zerosandohs @zerosandohs on x

  @SnazzyLabs I'm fine with the specs of the studio xdr, was what I wanted in an upgrade. Is your issue the price? I would expect around 3k for it. The 60hz Studio Display in 2026 is a little ridiculous, but it's under 2k. Apple displays have always been a premium.

• @snazzylabs Quinn Nelson on x

  Is Apple being serious with these new displays? lmaooooo

• @thejasontlewis Jason T. Lewis on x

  if you already own a Studio Display you don't even need to consider buying the new one. If you want a Studio Display and you don't have one, buy used and save $600-800 dollars. If you want a decent Webcam, there are plenty that will be better than the built-in one for $100.

• @justinmfarrugia Justin Farrugia on x

  this is cool but I was really hoping for a 32" version of the Studio Display with 120Hz tbh :( 27" feels way too small for me, not sure if I'll upgrade also bit of a bummer they discontinued the Pro Display XDR https://www.apple.com/...

• @oliemack Oliver Mackenzie on x

  Very cool Apple announcements today. I'm completely in on the new Studio Display XDR, which has everything I want - high brightness, loads of dimming zones, 120Hz, perfect integration with MacOS. Thankfully the 90Hz rumours have not proven to be true. https://www.apple.com/...

• @zielinskiwoj Wojciech Zieliński on x

  Studio Display XDR is a great deal. 5K mini-LED, 120hz, VRR, HDR at 2000 nits, and stand included. Preordering tomorrow.

  Glad I did not wait for the mini-LED studio display. I do not need 5K display to prompt lmao

  Wait, they killed the Pro Display XDR? It's no longer on the site and it redirects to the Studio Display XDR this is bad

• @its_shevi Shevon Salmon on x

  Apple just dropped TWO new Studio Displays 🔥 Studio Display: 12MP Center Stage, Thunderbolt 5, deeper bass, $1,599 Studio Display XDR: mini-LED, 2000 nits, 120Hz, Adobe RGB, $3,299 I'm genuinely excited about the 120Hz for my workflow. Pre-orders open TOMORROW 👀 #Apple [image]

• @stuwieface Stuart on x

  That base Apple Studio Display update is so disappointing. Guess I'm saving my money because what normal consumer is spending £3000 on a monitor the Studio Display XDR upgrade instead?!

• @zollotech Aaron Zollo on x

  So we have a new Studio Display XDR and Apple is no longer selling Pro Display XDR. There is only a 27-inch option now too. That's a bit disappointing for those who wanted a 6K 120hz display at 32 inches. [image]
