A follow up to Friday’s post: Updated MacBook Air M2 to the M5
Posted By RichC on April 18, 2026
Today’s update is a follow up from yesterday’s Tech Friday post on “Contemplating an Apple MacBook Air update” … done.
I was able to convince Brenda that she needed to switch to an Apple computer since 
her Chromebook has reached end of life status. I suspect that she will continue to stick with her limited Google apps and email, but maybe she’ll start to appreciate a few of the apps that work better with her iPhone?
Nevertheless, I’ve updated my MacBook Air M2 (zero problems with it) to a discounted M5 that should have enough memory (16GB vs 8GB) to keep the out-of-memory problem from haunting me when running IB’s Trader Workstation. Besides, it is a great computer for $949 at Costco (plus whatever bonus cash back we are awarded). 😉
