This demonstrates how different people will come to different conclusions from the same data. If i was using that much of the internal storage, i would conclude that I should have gone with the next higher storage option.
Lol, same. That's just a bit too tight for me. Once I reach 70-80% filled, I figure I need to get more storage.
Yes I’ve been told this. Although they are very expensive (£100) I guess they are very good quality, one would say being Apple. So do you use this for travel and the Magic Keyboard for when required at home? The latter being more heavy and not ideal for when using on your lap etc.
Been on the BackMarket website and you can get some tempting M4 IPP 13” models for a few hundred £ saving. Tempting but the M4 chip is almost two years old now and probably has 5 years left of updates before being obselete. The M6 just buys you a little more longevity IMO.
Apart from the faster charging with the M6 model there is probably little difference in performance etc between the two chips (M4 & M5) for my kind of basic usage.

I upgraded from the 13" M4 to the 13" M5 for larger storage but from a performance standpoint, I doubt you notice the difference.
Thanks. You can get better deals with the M4 13” as it’s that much older.
The M5 13” has faster charging. Anything else I’m missing?
I think for normal usage and begetting issue, 256 is more than enough.
The m5 GPU is massively faster at GPU compute performance (up to 4x M4 due to NPU additions to the GPU), so I'd say that if you're on the fence between m4/m5 that's a consideration.
You may or may not care for on device AI, but that's only one workload that this will improve. it's also faster at graphics, too.
It also has full support for Memory Integrity Enforcement, so that's a nice to have moving forward.
I got the office works deal 11” M4 2tb nano for $1195, couldn’t pass on that.
I think for longevity reasons alone it makes sense to me to spend ‘a little more’ and buy the M5 IPP. Don’t you think?
Despite the M4 looking a more attractive purchase given the discount. This always applies to Apple products. With tech mind you, IMO it’s always best to go with the latest as it’ll be out of date come the following day with the newer upgrade.

Depends how much storage you need. That deal @Meedoss posted above is great if storage is a concern!
edit:
OfficeWorks is an australian office supplies reseller.
Was more for the nano and extra ram, I only using 250gb. Nano is so good no more glare.
Anything with a M will last a looong time, my wife has a M1 still works like new.
Coming from an iPad Air 2 (2014 release) to the M5, the change will be like night and day, I think! I hope so anyway. Your right though, any M chip will last a good long time. I’ve never owned an M chip before on an iPad or MacBook.
EBay app cannot even download onto my IP Air 2 now, neither can Disney +. More apps will follow suit I’m sure.
Sadly I cannot justify spending £2,000 on the IPP just to get the nano display. Despite it being impressive the ‘standard’ glossy screen will have to make do along with all those fingerprints 😉 I’m confident the OLED screen will still be very impressive for my day to day ‘main computer’.
Am I right by saying you own a 256 IPP? How are you finding it and the memory storage. Not regretting opting for the 512 (for that added peace of mind etc)?
Yes. Have an m5/256.
It’s fine. I’m using 100GB or so after porting across from my old m1 air.
The performance jump is huge.
I considered 512 for my previous air 3 years ago and never got close to using 256.
YMMV. Primarily this is remote sessions, office, note taking, browsing, sidecar extra display for my m4 max and media consumption.
If I ever get close I’ll uninstall 30-50GB of games I barely play on it.
Nice - how do you find it? Remember I own an IPad Air 2! 🦕
That’s the spec I think I need, not the 512 option for a £200 additional cost. i need to allow another £100 for the Apple folio case and then the £300 for the magic keyboard. The additional cost all adds up!
For me the IPP will largely replace me using the MacBook Pro 15” 2014 model. This has 256GB and is pretty much full. I do own a 2TB external memory device for those rare back ups.
Back to the IPP - streaming films, YouTube, hotmail, reading news, web browsing and looking at pictures will be its main use. Yes I pay for iCloud (200GB) storage.
