@simplypops: M5 MacBook Air: Three Months Later.. Is It Becoming a Pro? The M5 MacBook Air and how it's blurring the lines between a Pro and an Air. We talk about using Pro apps on a MacBook Air while getting stellar performance in a thin and lightweight chassis. I compare it to the MacBook Pro, noting that while the Pro has advantages like a 120Hz refresh rate, more ports, and a cooling fan, the M5 Air offers Pro-like performance without the Pro price tag. I recommend the MacBook Pro only for heavy 8K workloads with plugins, and share our thoughts on whether the Air is becoming a Pro or if it just feels that way.
