The Verdict

The 15-inch MacBook Air with the M5 chip is the laptop most people should buy for work, study and creative tasks. It runs silent, lasts all day, and the big Liquid Retina screen is a joy — just don't expect a gaming machine.

What we loved

  • Outstanding all-day battery
  • Completely silent, fanless design
  • Gorgeous 15.3" Liquid Retina display
  • Premium, featherweight aluminium build

Worth noting

  • Not built for serious gaming
  • Limited port selection
