It delivered a dramatic step forward. Silent, fast, and with remarkable energy efficiency, these laptops have proved themselves to be more reliable and longer-lasting than almost any other notebook.<\/p>\n<p>Apple has continued to\u00a0deliver impressive improvements\u00a0ever since the M1 Macs first appeared. The recently introduced\u00a0M5 MacBook Air\u00a0delivers double the multi-core and 50% better single-core performance than M1; that means it provides similar performance to the MacBook Pro of around three years ago.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Apple Silicon has\u00a0improved every single year and is now extremely powerful \u2014 so much so that Apple is\u00a0about to sell 10 million units\u00a0of the A-series MacBook Neo, a $599 machine with an iPhone-derived chip that delivers more performance than many mainstream users need.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, even when using a nearly-six-year-old MacBook Air, you still experience a fast browser, responsive Office apps, great battery life and powerful photo editing capabilities.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.computerworld.com\/article\/4179968\/apples-m1-macbook-air-refuses-to-die.html\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple\u2019s M1 MacBook Air refuses to die \u2013 Computerworld https:\/\/www.computerworld.com\/article\/4179968\/apples-m1-macbook-air-refuses-to-die.html Publish Date: 2026-06-02 11:47:00 Source&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":262115,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.computerworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/4179968-0-95777800-1780415228-Apple_new-macbookpro-xcode-screen_11102020.jpg?quality=50&strip=all&w=1024","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[50,51],"class_list":["post-262114","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-macintosh","tag-macbook-air","tag-macbook-pro"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/262114"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=262114"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/262114\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":262116,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/262114\/revisions\/262116"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/262115"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=262114"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=262114"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=262114"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
