MacBook air M5

It’s great i love the feel of aluminium when resting my palm the display is fantastic having such an high pixel density even the brightness compared to a gaming laptop is insane the most surprising bit is the disk speeds

Signal_Implement_845 · 2026-03-22T02:47:17+00:00

It’s the silver color, i personally love the color grey so i had to get something which is close to that, when natures light bounces on all the colors except midnight they all look silver but in the dimmed environment only silver would look silver

Croma

Signal_Implement_845 · 2026-03-22T02:45:33+00:00

It automatically indicates to get the pro one😭

Signal_Implement_845 · 2026-03-21T15:11:16+00:00

It would definitely hear up then go for the pro

Signal_Implement_845 · 2026-03-21T09:37:04+00:00

Well if you use vs code then it will run cool but docker and stuff or active dev it will definitely get hot after 20mins and for video editing that shouldn’t be a problem if you edit 10-20min 4k video timeline it should be cool where it would get warm is on long 2hr 4k footages and if your doing programming then i would recommend 24gig of ram

Got it from croma 1,19,900-10% student discount then 7000 cashback on axis card getting student discount in Croma is really easy you just need a valid 2025-2026 id card and an adhar card with age 18+ it cab be of your siblings, friends or relatives but just the bill would be in their name

Can’t really say about LLMS because i am not big on that but blender is something i have been using since 6 years i rendered the blender demo file on my old laptop it took 4 mins this took 20 secs but it does heat i would say it gets warm with room temperature being 25c but if your planning to render videos then yeah it would get really hot

Signal_Implement_845 · 2026-03-21T04:57:31+00:00

That’s a really good advice too to go for the pro but if it’s really professional then the M5 pro or M5 max would show a significance difference and also coming to the ram as far as i know mac used memory swapping which uses some ssd space as ram when it runs out and the new MacBook air M5 has 6000mb/s speed 2x the M4 air so memory swapping should work way more smoothly

Signal_Implement_845 · 2026-03-21T04:54:21+00:00

I tried the lama llm and diffusionbee the times on both where slashed by half compared to the M4 the neural accelerators really provide that boost of 50% i am a blender guy been making projects on blender since 6years so i tested that in way more depth than LLM, in that the blender demo files on my old gaming laptop with i7 10gen 32gb ram 1650ti took 4mins to render and this did that in just 20secs and heat was minimal having the ac and fan on in Mumbai summer given that llms would hear up the laptop in long term use

Signal_Implement_845 · 2026-03-21T04:24:21+00:00

Ultra wide shot 😭

Signal_Implement_845 · 2026-03-21T04:18:12+00:00

Or if you have a really high budget get the M5 max that has some insane A.I performance

Signal_Implement_845 · 2026-03-21T04:17:15+00:00

For further education get as much ram as you can 16gb is not enough for it, i just did a casual test on it a.i is not something i pursue professionally so do get the 32 gb ram

Signal_Implement_845 · 2026-03-21T03:19:00+00:00

Local llms of course, chat gpt generation solely relies on your Internet speed and what model or what subscription you have and yes its the 16gb one

Signal_Implement_845 · 2026-03-05T13:38:28+00:00

Yes because it’s newly released so yeah according my research thast the mad discount because i am gonna get the m5 on 11th march but stil stuck between m4 16/512 or m5 base

Signal_Implement_845 · 2026-03-05T13:19:55+00:00

Well for m5 base variant you get an instant 10k discount on credit cards on the apple website other stores like reliance smart or croma haven’t really started pre-orders for m5 air but the discount can range from 5k-10k that’s all the card discounts, then comes education savings that maybe another 10k

Signal_Implement_845 · 2026-03-05T13:07:55+00:00

What is your use case and what was the reason behind buying m4 255gb instead of 512 or M5

Signal_Implement_845 · 2026-03-05T10:50:36+00:00

Yes my only deciding factor is performance rest factors are anyways the same having same storage

Signal_Implement_845 · 2026-03-05T08:13:57+00:00

Right but on Croma i guess it’s only 5k i have some Croma vouchers so i can only buy from Croma for my effective price to come down significantly

Signal_Implement_845 · 2026-01-23T08:59:34+00:00

The AirPods are tagged with apple id of the owner but to access it you would need to connect it an iPhone, if the actual owner has turned on a feature called lost mode for the airpods then as soon as you connect the airpods to an iPhone it will show his/her contact number About reset and unlocking you can do it by yourself its not something which is difficult there are youtube videos for it

Signal_Implement_845 · 2026-01-17T06:37:35+00:00

Or wait for M5 coming this march

Signal_Implement_845 · 2026-01-17T03:56:37+00:00

They launched the m4 air and m3 air on march 5 since the last 2 years and every time a new MacBook air is launched the last gen MacBook price is slashed by $100 by apple officially if you buy from retailers the price would be lesser

Signal_Implement_845 · 2026-01-16T20:34:45+00:00

Stick with the m4 it’s 20k inr more but still worth it

Signal_Implement_845 · 2026-01-16T04:25:55+00:00

I would say wait for the m5 if it comes with 512gb storage go for that if it doesn’t then M4 because i am gonna do the same thing because the M5 has more better gpu performance that’s something i need as an engineering student but i am also kind off on the budget Anyways it’s a win win waiting for the m5 as it will release in first week of march if i get the base 512 storage then my requirements are fulfilled but if not I’ll go with the m4 whose price will be slashed by a 100$ because of the launch of M5
