Apple claims the new MacBook Air M5 is dramatically faster than older MacBook Air models. But does that claim hold up in real-world video editing?
In this video, I compare the MacBook Air M1 and MacBook Air M5 using the same footage, the same DaVinci Resolve project, and identical export settings. Instead of relying on synthetic benchmarks, I focus on what actually matters to creators: video rendering performance.
I tested:
• 1080p video exports
• 4K video exports
• Color graded timelines
• Multi-layer editing projects
• Real DaVinci Resolve workflows
The results were surprising. While the M5 MacBook Air is definitely faster than the M1, my real-world rendering tests show performance gains that are far lower than what many viewers might expect from Apple's marketing.
If you're considering upgrading from an M1 MacBook Air, or deciding between a discounted older MacBook and the latest M5 model, this video will help you make an informed decision and potentially save money.
Devices Tested:
MacBook Air M1
MacBook Air M5
Software:
DaVinci Resolve
Watch till the end for all benchmark results, rendering comparisons, and my final upgrade recommendation.
