Top 3 picks
Apple MacBook Air 13-inch (M5)
Why we picked this
Best Overall: The strongest balance for education, combining excellent everyday performance, 16GB memory, silent operation, portability, and very long battery life. It offers substantially more multitasking headroom than the MacBook Neo while remaining easier to carry than the larger 15-inch model.

Apple MacBook Neo (A18 Pro)
Why we picked this
Best Value: The most affordable option, with strong efficiency, a sharp display, long battery life, and enough performance for documents, research, web learning, and video calls. Its 8GB memory is less comfortable for heavier multitasking than the two MacBook Air models.

Apple MacBook Air 15-inch (M5)
Why we picked this
Premium Pick: The best choice for studying with multiple windows, large documents, spreadsheets, and split-screen research because its 15.3-inch display provides more workspace. It retains the MacBook Air 13-inch's M5 performance and battery life, but sacrifices some portability for the larger screen.
