I WAS WRONG ABOUT APPLE! MacBook AIR M5 Review
The wait is FINALLY over! After 6 weeks of backorders, my Sky Blue MacBook Air M5 has arrived. I’ve spent the last 14 days pushing this machine to its limits to see if a lifelong Windows and Linux user can actually survive in the Apple ecosystem. Is the M5 chip actually as good as the hype says? In this video, I break down my honest experience switching from Windows/Linux to macOS Tahoe 26.4.1. From the incredible "no fan" silent performance to the learning curve of a new OS, here is the truth about the MacBook Air M5 in 2024. In this video, we cover: The M5 Performance: 0 lag, 0 crashes—even in DaVinci Resolve. Battery Life: Is "one week on a single charge" actually possible? Design & Build: The "Cold to the touch" aluminum and the Sky Blue finish. Workstation Setup: Connecting my 34" Ultrawide monitor via the UGREEN Revodok (1440p @ 100Hz). The Learning Curve: Transitioning from Windows controls and the haptic trackpad "illusion." The Good: Absolute silence (no fans, yet stays cool). Phenomenal video editing experience. The best speakers I've ever heard on a laptop. The Bad: The learning curve for a lifelong Windows user. Only 2 ports (Why I had to buy a dock). Gear mentioned in this video: MacBook Air M5 (Sky Blue) UGREEN Revodok 8-in-1 USB-C Dock Logitech MX Master (via Logi Options+) Watch my previous video on Zorin OS (The "Linux Mac"): • Microflop failed Windows, so I switched to... 🖥 PROTON Links: Proton Drive: https://go.getproton.me/SH2ip Proton Pass: https://go.getproton.me/SH2iq Proton VPN: https://go.getproton.me/SH2ir Proton Mail: https://go.getproton.me/SH2iU Stay Tuned: Subscribe for my upcoming "1 Month Later" review and the full "Desktop to MacBook Docking Station" conversion video!
