Pros

  • Macbook Air M5
  • MacBook Air M5 would blow your old MacBook out of the water, and its chip does perform strongly against others at the price point while also giving you long battery life

Cons

  • I wouldn't buy anything below the Air M5 24GB/1TB. Ideally the 32GB/1TB version.
  • That’s a lot of money for the specs and a limited OS

Tu as un iPad, un iPhone. ... Tu crée sur le MacBook, tu peux corriger sur ton iPad… ou ton iPhone… C’est un petit avantage je pense en faveur du MacBook.
