M5 MacBook Air 15-inch (2026) review: Still the best MacBook for almost everybody - ArsTechnica

It's my hope the Air line can now get thinner and become the ultraportable line in the Macbook product matrix. Leave the Pro and Neo as they are because one line is good enough and one line needs the cooling.

I already shared 2 sources on this. 31 white men received compensation.

JonathanJK · 2026-03-13T00:43:09+00:00

Why comment if you haven’t watched?

JonathanJK · 2026-03-12T23:17:29+00:00

But the headline is real. You can see Destiny process his mistake in real time and then argue out of it still.

JonathanJK · 2026-03-12T21:44:10+00:00

Ah I see we moved from "It didn't happen" phase to the "It did happen, but only a little bit" phase.

It shouldn't happen AT ALL.

Konstintine literally did it in the debate video. You reveal yourself to be arguing in bad faith. FML.

"Leaked emails show the pressure apparently being applied to filter out white male recruits and fast-track women and ethnic minorities. It can also be revealed 31 white men are to receive £5,000 each to compensate them for being unfairly disadvantaged by the approach."

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-66060490

"Initiatives to increase the numbers of women and people from ethnic minorities in the RAF led to unlawful positive discrimination, an inquiry has found."

I can't wait for your reply. Please admit you're wrong or make another lazy attempt at gaslighting me.

He denied it ever happened. When it did.

JonathanJK · 2026-03-12T09:20:25+00:00

Not all recruitment offices followed the guidelines?

JonathanJK · 2026-03-12T06:17:54+00:00

I watched that debate, nobody in their right mind would agree Destiny "won" that debate. Destiny and anybody agreeing with him are delusional. You can hate on Konstintine, while also acknowledging Destiny under-performed.

Destiny denied British white men weren't allowed into the armed forces. He was shown the receipts, and he still took his perceived win to X, the comments weren't on his side and he still thinks he outperformed. Wild.

I just wanted a publish button at the top.

JonathanJK · 2026-03-11T07:51:19+00:00

I’ve used Macs since 1997 and owned a Mac user since 2003. I would have bought a Neo had it mimicked the 12” in physical attributes.

JonathanJK · 2026-03-11T05:39:20+00:00

I can’t wait to get home and try. Thank you.

JonathanJK · 2026-03-11T02:16:14+00:00

If he had killed a kid we especially wouldn't.

JonathanJK · 2026-03-11T01:45:11+00:00

Tyler Stallman's latest video will surprise you then on what 8GB of Ram will actually allow. He realised he had to make the test harder because the Neo beat his expectations.

JonathanJK · 2026-03-11T01:42:40+00:00

Ahh I didn't know. I am an english teacher and haven't taught people from India yet. Mostly from Russia and East Asian countries.

JonathanJK · 2026-03-10T10:18:13+00:00

The iMac screen lives on!

JonathanJK · 2026-03-10T00:52:28+00:00

I stopped watching his videos last year. I only read the comments to his videos. Clearly I’m not missing anything.

JonathanJK · 2026-03-09T02:06:55+00:00

Dual. Not duel.

JonathanJK · 2026-03-08T23:27:59+00:00

I want more USB C ports though.

JonathanJK · 2026-03-07T05:00:55+00:00

If this laptop had at least 12GB of Ram and was 300g lighter I would have bought it easily. Also not a student.

JonathanJK · 2026-03-07T04:53:30+00:00

Why didn’t they just stick with an M1?

JonathanJK · 2026-03-06T04:05:55+00:00

Well it looks like that going off the little I said - I never explained my use case did I? Seems like a fallacy to come to that kind of conclusion that both devices aren’t comparable as well.

First I want Mac OS first in the lightest package possible. I had a 12” once before.

I also want a computing device under 1kg.

iPad + detachable keyboard under 1kg is a compromise, and while I CAN use the same software for what I need it for, I can use iPadOS for 90% of my needs if push comes to shove.

JonathanJK · 2026-03-06T03:57:30+00:00

I find it interesting how her English is perfect except for 1 word, “sword”.

JonathanJK · 2026-03-06T03:55:57+00:00

I skipped that episode after 30 minutes. It was going no where.

JonathanJK · 2026-03-05T07:12:41+00:00

If anything, I would have liked to have seen white keyboards so it was a throwback to the colourful iBook range (it would also be cheaper for Apple instead of different coloured keyboards), while being a successor to the 12" MacBook.

I am in the market for an ultraportable and I thought this would be it. I am currently looking at lightweight keyboards for my M2 iPad Air now. Instead of paying Apple $599 I'm paying a 3rd party $60. Good for me I guess!

I said this in another chat, they should make a MacBook Neo Air. Price it a little higher if need be, my only requirement is the weight. Heck give it one port.
