Pros & Cons

What we like

Apple M5 chip on 3 nm in a fanless, silent design

Light 1.23 kg body with a 12MP Center Stage camera and Touch ID

What we don’t

60Hz, 500-nit LCD panel (no OLED or ProMotion)
Only two USB-C ports, with no HDMI or SD card slot

The Pipino Verdict

A light, silent laptop for students, office work and everyday creative tasks, with a fast M5 chip and a generous 16GB / 512GB base model. The trade-offs are a 60Hz, 500-nit LCD and only two ports, and Apple raised prices in 2026 so it costs more than at launch. This verdict is based on specs and Apple data, not our own hands-on testing.
