The MacBook Air needs no introduction — it's been an easy recommendation for years at this point, and with the M5 revision, you're getting a genuinely great laptop. Everything from build quality to performance and screen to battery life is class-leading here. It's also not as bulky as a MacBook Pro, which makes it easier to carry around if you're a student or more convenient to travel with in general.It's currently our top recommendation for the best laptops you can buy, earning an Editor's Choice award in our full review. The M5 chip is as powerful as the beefiest AMD or Intel processors, while simply outpacing them all when it comes to single-core results. Of course, it can't really game, but for every other task, including heavier workloads like video editing, it's more than enough, especially when paired with the 16GB of unified RAM.
