Apple presented today MacBook Air with the M5 chip. In addition to the higher performance, which was of course expected, it also brings one practical change that will please (almost) every new owner. Namely, that a more powerful power adapter is now included in every package. Everywhere, except the EU.
All M5 configurations MacBooku Airthat you buy outside the EU now include adapters with maximal performanceonem 60 W. This adapter Apple presented last September together with iPhonem 17 Pro. And now in certain markets Apple comes with MacBooku AirThis is a noticeable improvement over the previous generation.
Previously Apple depending on the specific configuration, it comes with either a 30W USB-C power adapter or a 35W Dual USB-C Port Compact Power Adapter.
However, customers can still choose to configure the model differently. For an additional $20, a 35W Dual USB-C adapter is available, which allows you to charge two devices simultaneously, although in terms of performance it is not a significant improvement. For the same additional $20, you can choose a 70W USB-C Power Adapter, which enables fast charging. That is, from 0 to 50% battery capacity in about 30 minutes.
Apple of course, it also sells all adapters separately, but with the new generation MacBooku Air The basic package is much more interesting for users. In practice, this means that some of you will no longer have to deal with the additional purchase of a more powerful charger.
For me, it's a huge shame that nothing like this has happened here. Of course, many of those who are switching from an older model probably need a charger to MacBookThey do. However, new users will probably have to buy an adapter, which is definitely a shame.
