Collection: MacBook Air vs MacBook Pro (M5)

Apple's current MacBook lineup, both powered by the M5 chip: MacBook Air (13-inch and 15-inch) and the 14-inch MacBook Pro — all genuine and in stock in Nairobi.

Which MacBook should you buy?

MacBook Air 13" M5 (from KES 164,000): The lightest, most portable option — fanless and silent, with a 13.6" Liquid Retina display and up to 18 hours of battery life. Best for everyday productivity, browsing, and light creative work.

MacBook Air 15" M5 (from KES 207,000): Same fanless M5 chip and silent design as the 13", stretched to a larger 15.3" display for more screen real estate — ideal if you want the Air's portability with extra workspace.

MacBook Pro 14" M5 (from KES 245,000): The performance choice — active cooling for sustained workloads, a 120Hz ProMotion Liquid Retina XDR display with true HDR (1600 nits peak), plus HDMI and an SD card slot that the Air doesn't have. Built for video editing, coding, and creative professionals.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the real difference between the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro at the M5 tier? Both run the same M5 chip, but the Pro adds active cooling for sustained heavy workloads, a brighter ProMotion XDR display with true HDR, and extra ports (HDMI, SD card slot, a third Thunderbolt port) that the Air doesn't have.

Is the MacBook Air fast enough for everyday work? Yes — for browsing, office work, streaming, and light photo/video editing, the fanless M5 Air handles it comfortably and silently.

Why choose the 15" Air over the 13"? Same chip and battery life — the 15" simply gives you a larger display and slightly bigger footprint, with no performance difference.

Do these MacBooks come with a warranty? Yes — all units sold on trewrld are genuine and covered by manufacturer warranty terms.

Which one is better for video editing? The MacBook Pro 14" — its active cooling sustains performance under heavy export/render loads, and its XDR display is calibrated for accurate HDR color work.
